About this home

AS SEEN IN THE WEEK MAGAZINE! Live the best that the Florida lifestyle has to offer with this remodeled mid-century modern pool home located in the desirable Indian Beach Sapphire Shores neighborhood. This midcentury gem has been completely updated including the kitchen and baths, roof, plumbing, electric, and the pool. The 2-ply polyglass roof was replaced in 2020, the AC system in 2021, and the minisplit AC system in 2020. All of the original cast iron plumbing has been replaced with PVC pipes and fittings. The copper water pipes have been replaced with modern PEX pipes and fittings. The electrical panel was updated in 2021 and the heated pool has been rebuilt. All you need to do is move-in and begin enjoying the sunshine in your fully fenced backyard. Adding to the backyard oasis vibes is an oversized screened patio which has enough space to create an outdoor living room and dining area. Inside the home is clean and bright with renovated kitchen and bathrooms and clever built-in storage solutions. The kitchen features a wall length built-in pantry as well as stainless appliances and ample cabinet storage. The large and flexible living space features two walls of windows and a beautiful living room built-in with storage space, display space, and integrated seating.The primary suite features an en-suite renovated bathroom as well as a private entrance to the backyard. While located outside the flood plain you still have easy access to multiple neighborhood parks along Sarasota Bay; they are a fantastic place to watch the sunset, fish, or launch your paddleboards and kayaks into Sarasota Bay. The low-cost and optional Indian Beach Sapphire Shores neighborhood association offers a neighborhood newsletter, picnics, and additional social activities. Driving, walking, or biking along the neighborhood's shaded streets and sidewalks you'll be treated to a tour of Sarasota architecture from the 1920s through today. Within the neighborhood you will also find cultural amenities including the Ringling Museum which features frequent community event programming and the Asolo Theatre which houses Asolo Rep as well as the Sarasota Ballet. Both Downtown Sarasota and Sarasota Bradenton Airport are a 5 minute drive from the home. Shopping and dining on St Armands Circle and the crystal quartz sand of Lido Beach is just a 10 minute drive.

Local Insight

At $375/sqft for a 1959 home, you're paying a premium that reflects the pool and location more than the bones—so factor in that this older build will likely need mechanical updates soon, especially the HVAC and plumbing. The 0.17-acre lot is tight, which maximizes privacy with that pool but limits yard flexibility, and you're in X flood zone so you'll avoid mandatory insurance but should still verify actual flood history for the area. This is really a lifestyle play for someone who wants the Sapphire Heights location and pool amenities, not a value buy or investment flip.
