About this home
Built in 1910, this original Lexington model Sears, Roebuck and Co. kit house offers a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Sarasota history. Once ordered by mail from the famed Sears catalog, the residence has been extensively renovated and lovingly maintained while preserving its architectural integrity, timeless character and enduring charm. The original doorbell and stately double-door entry offer a memorable welcome, immediately transporting you to an earlier era. Inside, original heart pine floors, a gas fireplace and thoughtful period details reflect the home’s rich heritage. Filled with natural light, the beautifully appointed sunroom opens to an outdoor deck, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape. Designed for both comfortable living and effortless entertaining, the kitchen is complemented by an impressive butler’s pantry. Upstairs, a versatile bonus room provides a quiet retreat, while an additional office, bedroom and full bathroom offer flexibility for guests or working from home. The luxurious primary suite features a private terrace, an expansive walk-through closet and a beautifully appointed bathroom. Current owner is using the 3rd bedroom as an office. Outside, multiple levels of decking overlook a large swimming pool surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, creating a private backyard oasis ideal for relaxing and casual entertaining. A two-car garage and whole-house generator complete this truly exceptional residence. The home is set within Indian Beach–Sapphire Shores, one of Sarasota’s most distinctive and architecturally diverse neighborhoods and just steps from Indian Beach Park where dramatic sunsets are a nightly occurrence. Often referred to as the Museum District, this established bayfront community is known for its canopy-lined streets, Old Florida character and proximity to Sarasota Bay, The Ringling, Ca’d’Zan and the Asolo Repertory Theatre. Just minutes from downtown Sarasota, the neighborhood offers an exceptional combination of history, culture and coastal living.
