A rare opportunity West of the Trail, in Sarasota’s desirable Harbor Acres. This beautifully maintained one story 3 BR/ 2 BA home has all the historic Florida charm of old Harbor Acres. Entering the home, you are welcomed by a large and comfy living room which boasts a beautiful original woodburning fireplace and a dining area set in front of a large picture window framing the lush backyard. The kitchen (equipped with a Vulcan gas stove) opens to the living room and a cozy family room that looks out through French doors onto a 40’ X 12’ deck and a backyard that has beautiful, mature, lush, well-maintained tropical landscaping that gives wonderful privacy and is perfect for enjoying alfresco morning coffee, relaxing as you listen to the birds, entertaining friends, and family dinners. Original wood floors carry you from the living room to the master bedroom en-suite and the 2nd bedroom (or office). The large 3rd bedroom and bath are located on the other side of the home offering excellent privacy. Enter the classic Florida property off Orange Ave via a circular shell drive with a two-car carport (that could be enclosed). An additional entrance adjacent to the carport enters through the utility room into the kitchen making it easy for groceries and supplies.
