Welcome to your opportunity to own a piece of history, directly on Sarasota Bay. This home, complete with a private dock and 105 feet of direct bay access, will give you sunset views that are unparalleled. The mid-century ranch style is what dreams are made of. As you enter the home, the sounds of the bay are at your back. The locally crafted, original solid wood door swings open to a beautiful living room with gorgeous wood beams along the plaster ceiling and flagstone walls on all sides. The double-sided stone fireplace stands opposite of huge picture windows that look directly out onto Bay. The view stretches all the way to Longboat Key to the south and up through Manatee county to the north. A separate bar room sets off this grand room as a stately center for entertainment. The rest of the home centers from this strong room. The backyard leaves plenty of room for a pool off of the Florida Room. The bedrooms are massive. The bathrooms bring original charm. This home is every bit the Spanish style Ranch that the original developers of this neighborhood had in mind! The home is just a stone’s throw from the Ringling Mansion, the Asolo Theatre, New College, and other cultural icons of our area and of the country. There is no shortage of art appreciation and culture here and this home is right in the middle of it all. Want even more value?! This property is 14.2 ft above sea level (elevation cert. attached). That means that, while it has a full bay view, this home stands in an X flood zone! You are not required to hold flood insurance! The property is located in Ballentine Manor Estates, which falls under the Whitfield Overlay District, one of the original deed restricted areas in the Sarasota area, which has ensured that the properties are well-kept and suited to the prestige that they’ve been built for. At the same time, the HOA fees are a mere $30 annually and even that is optional! Do not confuse that for an area lacking community, though. The neighborhood is well-rooted, the neighbors watch out for one another and their view for the Sarasota fireworks at the 4th of July is like no other! This area was originally developed in the 1920’s as the premier luxury housing of Sarasota. This property was originally owned by General John Riggin Jr, an aide-de-camp of General Ulysses S Grant and to the north, Alfred Ringling. Such deep history to such beautiful bayside land and history that anyone would be honored to be a part of. Today this home stands in a location that gives fast access to Sarasota International Airport and easy commute to downtown Sarasota. It is a quick drive to Lido Beach and St Armand’s as well as to UTC Mall and all kinds of shopping and conveniences. It would be hard to rival the beauty, history, convenience, and culture of this home and neighborhood. It is truly the epitome of Sarasota living. This is your chance to call it home!!
