Step into Sarasota's storied past with this 1925 Florida bungalow + Guest House, West of Trail, west of Osprey, in the heart of historic Southside Village. This home welcomes you with a whimsical mosaic pathway, under a canopy of trees, onto a large breezy screened front porch. Inside, refinished original heart pine floors, high ceilings, a shell-adorned wood-burning fireplace and river rock bath floor capture the charm of Old Florida. The main house features a sun-filled great room, a large eat-in kitchen and custom French doors leading to two spacious bedrooms and a full bath. Two hall closets and an attic provide ample storage. A back porch houses laundry and additional storage. Outside a colorful patio brings you to a charming guest cottage featuring original beadboard and heart pine flooring, a living area, kitchenette, full bedroom and 3/4 bath.
