There are first-rate restaurants, weekly farmers markets, bakeries, boutiques and shops downtown, and kids can walk to A-rated schools. Location is a big factor for this property with outdoor activities that include concerts, art exhibits, water parks, walking and biking and the Legacy Trail, which runs from Venice to Sarasota, winding through parks and preserves, including Oscar Scherer State Park. There is bird watching, tennis, pickleball, beachfront recreation and even a special dog beach! The Gulf Shores neighborhood beach access combines beachfront fun with social activities for families. Just wait until you visit the huge Caspersen beach. Whether you restore or renovate this three-bedroom, two-bath home or build your new dream home, all this could be yours. See it today.
