This very cute 4/2 home is located on over two beautiful, park-like acres in the heart of Desoto Acres, a hidden gem of a subdivision, where you are allowed to keep horses! The main house has a wonderful, open floor plan with a fireplace, and a big screened lanai, from where you have a great view of the land. The 1/1 guest house has its own entrance from Desoto Road, and is built on top of a garage with a kitchenette. The upstairs apartment has big screened porches on either side, affording beautiful views of the land, and great cross ventilation. Main house and guest house have enough distance between them so all parties will have plenty of privacy. This is a great location, close to University Parkway, the new mall and the I-75, while Downtown Sarasota with its many cultural attractions is only 3.5 miles away. If you have to fly a lot, you'll be pleased to know that SRQ airport is less than a mile away from this great property. Other nearby attractions include: Lido Beach, Bobby Jones Golf Course, and the Ed Smith Stadium, the Spring training center of the Baltimore Orioles. Only in Desoto Acres can you live your country dream, yet be minutes away from all the good things that Sarasota has to offer.
