Here is your chance to own the least expensive property in the most expensive neighborhood. It is all about location. This is a rarely available property and is situated in the highly desirable West of Osprey Ave. and just south of the Cherokee Park area. The home is a 76 year old Cracker style, one bedroom cottage built in 1949 on 50x104 lot. This home is not located in a flood zone.

This exceptional location is only 1/2 mile to the north bridge to Siesta Key, 4 minutes to Southside village shops and restaurants, 3 minutes to the "A" rated Southside Elementary School and only 5 minutes to Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Currently the home is being used as a daytime home/office and storage area. Twelve adjoining lots feature some new multimillion dollar homes and/or are in the development process. Due to it's age and condition, the property is being sold AS-IS without any seller warranties. So take a drive by. Bring your ideas, your architect, contractor and imagine the possibilities.
