Local Insight

At $295/sqft for a '61 waterfront home in AE flood zone, you're paying for location and water access, but you need to factor in flood insurance costs—which can run $1,500+ annually on a property like this—before deciding if the price works. The 1,135 sqft footprint is tight for a three-bedroom, so this is really a lifestyle buy for someone who values the Sarasota waterfront over space, and you'll want a thorough inspection given the age and flood exposure before committing.
