This location on Turks Cap Place is what people imagine when they think of Indian Beach. It?s like stepping back in time and enjoying a slower pace. Tree canopied streets, vintage homes tucked away on lush lots and roads that look more like country lanes inviting you to stroll down to the bay and along Bay Shore Road. This mid-century residence presents modestly to ?the street? but behind the gates you will find a courtyard styled home wrapping around a large outdoor living area anchored by a newer, boutique sized pool and a fireplace. This is a gardener?s delight with irrigation and room to express your creativity. And, while outside you will enjoy magical views up into the surrounding canopy. Inside, you?ll find exotic, olive-tinged terrazzo floors and another brick constructed, wood burning fireplace framed by French Doors. The owner?s suite privately occupies one side of the house but also opens to the courtyard. This split plan has two additional bedrooms both with richly refinished terrazzo floors. The updated kitchen has a cooking island with a natural gas range and vent hood. From here, dining and entertaining can spill over into an adjacent family room opening to the courtyard or a large, rear porch which is completely private and screened in for year-round comfort. One of the owner?s favorite rooms is a small, semi-circular breakfast nook used as a reading retreat. There have been many recent improvements including a roof, air conditioning system, plumbing updates and more. Indian Beach is nestled amidst Sarasota's most significant cultural & educational institutions and you're only 2 miles north of downtown Sarasota, a 12-minute drive to St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key and an equal distance to University Parkway anchored on the west by SRQ International Airport and the UTC shopping district and I75 on the east.
