About this home
Virtually Staged. Welcome to Cleary Cottage, a charming 1935 bungalow nestled in the highly sought-after Hudson Bayou neighborhood, West of Trail in the heart of Sarasota. Blending timeless character with thoughtful modern updates, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers an inviting retreat just minutes from downtown Sarasota, Southside Village, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Selby Gardens, the bayfront, and the area's renowned beaches. From the moment you arrive, the lush tropical landscaping, circular driveway, and welcoming screened front porch set the tone for this distinctive home. Inside, original hardwood floors, plaster walls, crown molding, and a classic brick fireplace celebrate the home's historic charm, while an updated kitchen featuring white cabinetry, stone-look countertops, stainless steel appliances, and tasteful finishes provides modern convenience. The comfortable floor plan offers inviting living and dining spaces, three bedrooms, and two updated bathrooms, including a primary bath with a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. A metal roof installed in 2018, an updated HVAC system, and hurricane protection improvements add to the home's appeal. Step outside to discover a private tropical oasis with mature landscaping, a backyard deck, and inviting outdoor spaces ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying Sarasota's year-round sunshine. The spacious screened front porch, complete with a charming porch swing, offers yet another place to unwind and enjoy the neighborhood.
