Description
Ralph Spencer Twitchell came to Sarasota in the 1920s to complete John Ringling's famous home, Ca' d'Zan, part of the Ringling Museum campus. Casa de Suenos (House of Dreams) contains both design and physical elements of Ringling's grand estate. With a main home of spacious, high-ceilinged rooms (3 bedrooms, 2 full and 1 half bath) plus a guest home (1 bedroom, 1 bath), the property, with frontage on three streets, is also estate-like, with a swimming pool, expansive solid brick patio, fountain, two-car garage, storage, greenhouse, and unique, natural elements--a personal paradise within the paradise we all enjoy, and just a short walk to Sarasota Bay. It is a forever home, steeped in such history that it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Twitchell's design prominence spanned decades in Sarasota but began here, with this and a few other unique and stunning homes. His designs welcome exact-period furnishings or eclectic mixes. The guest home awaits final design touches but has plumbing in place for a large bath and kitchen, plus a great room (bedroom) and its own fireplace! You'll find more information on Facebook--simply search Sarasota Casa de Suenos. You may take a video tour on YouTube by searching: 7219 Broughton St, Sarasota, FL Home on the Historic Register For Sale. However, nothing substitutes for a personal tour of this home, a short distance from Ringling Museum, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, and the barrier island Gulf beaches. A note about the roof: replaced in 2015, it is stone-coated metal with a barrel profile and a transferable fifty (50) year warranty. Also, the "heated" area is believed by the seller to be greater than that stated in public records. The floor tile is believed to be Mexican in origin; the wood floors are understood to be oak, mahogany, and pine. A 4 Point Inspection Report and a Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form are available but not currently attached. A further note: the homeowner association (and the $30 annual dues) referred to is optional. However, the seller believes the benefits are numerous.
