1723 Bay Street is the most reasonably priced 4-bedroom large single family pool home on the market today in downtown Sarasota. At $775,000, it's a great deal in an amazing neighborhood "west of the trail." Comparable homes in Hudson Bayou are listed at $899,000 and $1 million. (more photos below).
Walk to Selby Gardens, Burns Court, Towles Court Art District, the post office, downtown shops and restaurants, and Island Park. Located just 15 minutes from Siesta Key and Lido Beach, and in the Southside Elementary School district.
This 1925 Gadsby-era home has a new roof, modern kitchen and new bathrooms; yet, the charm of heart of pine floors, wood ceilings, beautiful plate glass windows, fireplace in the foyer, claw bathtub, and courtyard surrounded by a brick wall show the best features of new home construction of the roaring 20's. It was built by Leon Picket, the advance agent for Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Baily Circus, a construction engineer for John Ringling. Leon's brother, Charles, the Sarasota City Engineer, built his own home next door.
The heated pool and spa are surrounded by a tropical garden setting and large areas for outdoor entertaining. Such a beautiful, fun home, with its own history. It is zoned for multi-family...so was it once a bed and breakfast? Who knows?
Call me if I can answer questions about this home, listed by Team Dunn.
