The second bedroom has a walk-in closet and shares a unique indoor/outdoor shower which may transport you far from Sarasota to a private jungle oasis.

Here is where you will find the laundry and additional storage which can be upgraded to many possible uses. The landscaping has been chosen with care and an eye toward Florida native species. We would also be remiss if we did not mention one of the most prolific mango trees in the entire neighborhood! This oversized parcel in Sapphire Shores, is nestled between the Ringling Museum of Art, the Asolo Performing Arts Hall, the Sarasota Ballet and many other cultural and historic amenities. The location is 2 miles north of downtown Sarasota, a short drive over the Ringling Bridge to St. Armands Circle and Gulf of Mexico beaches and very near University Parkway anchored on the west by the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport and on the east by UTC Shopping district and the coming soon Mote Aquarium.
