About this home

AS SEEN IN THE WEEK MAGAZINE! Live the best that the Florida lifestyle has to offer with this remodeled mid-century modern pool home located in the desirable Indian Beach Sapphire Shores neighborhood.

The copper water pipes have been replaced with modern PEX pipes and fittings. The electrical panel was updated in 2021 and the heated pool has been rebuilt. All you need to do is move-in and begin enjoying the sunshine in your fully fenced backyard. Adding to the backyard oasis vibes is an oversized screened patio which has enough space to create an outdoor living room and dining area. Inside the home is clean and bright with renovated kitchen and bathrooms and clever built-in storage solutions. The kitchen features a wall length built-in pantry as well as stainless appliances and ample cabinet storage.

While located outside the flood plain you still have easy access to multiple neighborhood parks along Sarasota Bay; they are a fantastic place to watch the sunset, fish, or launch your paddleboards and kayaks into Sarasota Bay. The low-cost and optional Indian Beach Sapphire Shores neighborhood association offers a neighborhood newsletter, picnics, and additional social activities. Driving, walking, or biking along the neighborhood's shaded streets and sidewalks you'll be treated to a tour of Sarasota architecture from the 1920s through today. Within the neighborhood you will also find cultural amenities including the Ringling Museum which features frequent community event programming and the Asolo Theatre which houses Asolo Rep as well as the Sarasota Ballet. Both Downtown Sarasota and Sarasota Bradenton Airport are a 5 minute drive from the home. Shopping and dining on St Armands Circle and the crystal quartz sand of Lido Beach is just a 10 minute drive.

Value check

Is the price right?

The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
