Beyond Charming 1925 Bungalow and beautiful private “nature park” backyard in downtown Laurel Park! Located on a quiet cul de sac, this two bedroom, one bath home exudes character, warmth and possibilities! The kitchen was updated in 2010, has an RO water purification system and new dishwasher. The new HVAC and tankless gas water heater were installed in 2013 and roof in 2016. All wood floors throughout except for the ceramic tile in the updated bathroom, and laundry closet. Loads of wonderful windows allow the natural light to stream in! Enjoy the large front and back screened porches. (A total of 962 SF of living!) There are over 25 types of plants and trees in the expansive and fenced backyard along with a huge Live Oak on adjacent property that will give you good vibes and good shade. The owner has sighted over 40 species of birds on the property and a raised butterfly garden and landscape pool add to the tranquility. The kayak launch just steps away takes you out to Hudson Bayou and Sarasota Bay where you can experience even more wildlife, possibly an otter or dolphin. A highly usable 200 sq. ft. shed/workshop adjoins the house. An absolute treasure!!! Laurel Park is a National Historic District, and abuts downtown Sarasota providing all the convenience, excitement and activities offered! You are within a short distance to Selby Botanical Gardens, Payne Park/Tennis, Sarasota Bay front, Sarasota Art Museum, cinemas, restaurants and theatres. St. Armand’s Key and Lido Key Beach/Gulf of Mexico are only 11 minutes from the house. The beach is a stopping place for nesting turtles and birds during the summer months. Great beaching, boating and fishing are at your fingertips.
