Welcome to 809 40th Street in Sarasota, an enchanting Old Florida gem in the desirable Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores neighborhood. This single-story concrete block home has been meticulously maintained yet retains timeless charm and character throughout. Light-filled interiors with charming original features like terrazzo floors and a unique layout, combined with modern upgrades such as double-paned windows, 200-amp electric panel, a newer air conditioner (December 2023), and a new roof (May 2024) strike a balance between vintage elegance and today's comfort. Enjoy cooking in the spacious kitchen with modern stainless steel appliances and connected dining room space that could double as an art studio, office or be transformed into a third bedroom. The front yard has xeriscaped landscaping and the backyard is private surrounded by gardens and wooden fencing. The two outdoor porches, one open and one screened, provide space for entertaining or relaxing. This property is just minutes from three waterfront neighborhood parks, the Ringling Museum, New College, Ringling College of Art and Design and the University of South Florida. Plus, it's only 2.5 miles to downtown Sarasota and 5.5 miles to Lido Key Beach. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of history in one of the best locations Sarasota has to offer.
