Local Insight
At nearly $900/sqft for a 1-bed, 1-bath built in 1925, you're paying modern Sarasota prices for a property that will almost certainly need significant updates—this isn't a value play unless you're specifically seeking a small historic home or a teardown lot in an established neighborhood. The real appeal here is the Towles location and no HOA, but the tight 0.11-acre lot limits your options for expansion, so understand upfront whether you're buying the bones of a charming cottage or banking on future redevelopment potential.
