Local Insight
At $277 per square foot for a 1951 home in Bay Haven, you're paying a reasonable rate for the Sarasota market, but the real value hinges on the condition of that older structure—foundation, roof, and plumbing are critical inspection points given the age. The in-law suite is genuinely useful for rental income or multi-generational living, though you'll want to verify it's properly permitted and whether the private pool adds ongoing maintenance costs that offset its appeal. The X500 flood zone is favorable, and no HOA means lower carrying costs, but a 0.34-acre lot is snug for a 4-bed house with a pool, so check sight lines and whether expansion is realistic if you need it.
