The window of opportunity has reopened for this charming estate home located just across from sunset park looking out onto beautiful Sarasota Bay! The main home was originally built in 1957 and was updated in 1992. Additionally the property is complimented by an adjacent and separate guest studio that is above the 3 car garage. The main home and studio offer peak a boo views of Sarasota Bay and also has a tidal pond backdrop off the rear of the property. Both structures require extensive renovations but provide an opportunity to create a truly spectacular home and enjoy close proximity to Sarasota Bay Sunsets and Sarasota Downtown.

RSF-2
Residential Single Family 2 District
The intent and purpose of the Residential Single Family RSF districts is to preserve land for housing and provide housing opportunities for individual households. The regulations are intended to create, maintain and promote the development and redevelopment of these neighborhoods while preserving their existing residential character. The regulations preserve the character of neighborhoods by providing six different densities and development standards. These zones allow some non-household living uses but not to such an extent as to sacrifice the overall image and character of the neighborhood. The regulations promote desirable residential areas by addressing aesthetically pleasing environments, safety, privacy, and recreational opportunities. The site development standards allow flexibility of development while maintaining compatibility within the city's various neighborhoods. In addition, the regulations provide clarity to property owners, developers, and neighbors about the limits of what is allowed.
