313 PALMETTO ROAD W

Craving something different? Ignite your bohemian muse in this midcentury modern jungalow, a five-minute bicycle ride over the bridge to the most beautiful beaches in Sarasota County. Located West of Tamiami Trail in the tranquil neighborhood of Baypoint, this non-HOA community is a well-kept gem of multimillion dollar waterfront and Old Florida-style homes.
Built in 1958, this atomic ranch features original terrazzo floors, working jalousie windows, and a classic, cantilevered carport. Updates include a brand-new metal and TPO roof, an energy efficient mini-split system, modern IKEA kitchen with quartz countertops, and a zen-styled bathroom with handcrafted concrete vanity and Japanese ofuro soaking tub. Presently the home is configured with two bedrooms and one bath under air, but the possibility exists to easily reconvert the storage room back into a bedroom and add a second bath, restoring the original 3/2 footprint that is on the property tax records. An enormous sunroom could also be enclosed for four-season living. Woodworkers and artists will appreciate the additional workspace off of the back patio. The carport tiki lounge is a favorite place to kick back with a book and morning coffee, or invite your friends over for a Mai Tai. Revel in your own botanical jungle, through meandering pathways shaded by mature oak trees, blue bamboo, and thousands of dollars of tropical landscaping. After taking a morning beach yoga class and a dip in the Gulf, return to the private, enclosed, backyard shower. Within strolling distance of the home are two, small, waterfront parks where you can launch a paddle board or kayak. No wind damage or flooding at this property from any hurricane, ever! In short, bring your bathing suit and cocktail glasses and start living your best life here.
