Property Description
Located in the highly sought-after, well-established DeSoto Acres neighborhood, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bath home sits on 2.25 acres of naturally landscaped land within a designated bird sanctuary, offering rare peace, privacy, and freedom—without sacrificing convenience.
Inside, the 1,745 sq ft open floor plan is filled with natural light and designed for comfort and flexibility. One bedroom has been thoughtfully converted into a brand-new mother-in-law suite (2024) with a private entrance and optional interior access—ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or rental income.
Recent upgrades include hurricane-impact French entry doors and sliding glass door, new ceiling fans throughout, and a new water heater (2025). A Vermont Castings wood-burning stove adds warmth and charm, while central heat and air provide year-round comfort.
Outdoor living shines with two spacious screened lanais, both with ceiling fans—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The property also features an oversized 2.5-car garage, 20x40 covered carport, and an attached utility shed on a concrete slab, offering ample space for vehicles, RVs, tools, and storage. There's even room to add a pool.
Animal and garden lovers will appreciate the fertile soil, fenced pasture, and 20x10 corral, easily adaptable for horses, chickens, or hobby farming.
With no CDD fees, no deed restrictions, and only a voluntary HOA, this property offers rare freedom in a tranquil, canopy-lined neighborhood—lovingly maintained by a single owner for over 40 years.
All of this just:
5 miles to UTC
4 miles to Downtown Sarasota
8 miles to Lido Beach & St. Armands Circle
A truly one-of-a-kind opportunity to enjoy space, nature, and flexibility—right in town. Motivated seller.
