Perfectly positioned in Sarasota’s vibrant Downtown district within the sought-after Gillespie Park neighborhood, this exquisitely renovated two-story Key West–inspired residence pairs timeless architectural charm with contemporary sophistication. A magnificent oak tree graces the front yard, framing the home’s inviting façade, while a historic brick driveway—crafted from original Sarasota street bricks—sets the tone for the attention to detail found within. Inside, solid wood floors and carefully curated finishes create a warm yet refined atmosphere.

Upstairs, new hardwood flooring continues throughout the private quarters, including the serene primary suite featuring a custom-built walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with porcelain tile, designer fixtures, and a soothing aesthetic. The wonderful floor plan offers a lot of flexible space. A downstairs bonus space that is currently used as a pilates studio with private entry is zoned for business or rental use and could be converted to a primary/guest bedroom, bonus/family room, or fitness space. A beautifully appointed 600-square-foot apartment provides full living accommodations with a complete kitchen featuring an induction cooktop, full-size washer and dryer, and a large private balcony—ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. Additional highlights include wine room, oversized laundry area with attic space, and 3 zoned HVAC systems. The courtyard with screened lanai and pool is the perfect oasis to relax and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Set on a spacious, fenced corner lot with lush landscaping and a charming garden, the property offers an exceptional array of lifestyle amenities. The expanded 2½-car garage now offers abundant storage and includes an impact garage door.
