Extraordinarily and meticulously restored to embrace the spirit of an era, this authentically-detailed Mediterranean-style home was initially built in 1925 - the same year as of Ringling's Ca' d'Zan. The charming three-bedroom residence has been remarkably renovated by its current owner, a craftsman and artist who spent five years carefully unveiling its inherent beauty while creating a modern sanctuary for living. An arched entryway leads to the formal living room, enhanced with a wood-burning fireplace and a beamed pecky wood ceiling. A whimsical dining room of wood floors and plastered walls orchestrates the journey into the open living area - comprised of the kitchen and comfortable living room. The kitchen is wonderfully 'of today' with dark wood cabinets, stainless appliances, breakfast bar, and eat-in area. Windows and French doors to the pool scoop in natural light with playful artistry. The master suite is privately situated with its own entry foyer. Once inside, garden views to the pool area create a scenic backdrop. Two additional bedrooms offer comfort and character befitting such a venerable estate. New A/C, recently replumbed, updated wiring, and mechanics. The pool courtyard is perfectly private, beckoning for sun-soaked days and outdoor entertaining. A verdant lawn wraps around the home while a detached garage with brick paver drive completes the picture. Celebrate the poetry of living in Sapphire Shores just moments away from The Ringling and Downtown Sarasota.
