A Rare Coastal Offering – Half-Acre Canal-Front Lot Steps from Lido Beach and Minutes to St. Armands Circle. Opportunities like this are few and far between. Set on an expansive half-acre lot with 133 feet of wide canal frontage, this one-of-a-kind Florida coastal home invites you to embrace a lifestyle of relaxed elegance, natural beauty, and endless possibility. Just a short stroll from the white sands of Lido Beach and mere minutes to the shops and restaurants of iconic St. Armands Circle, this property blends location, charm, and potential in equal measure. Custom-built and brimming with architectural character, the home showcases timeless Florida design details, including pecky cypress paneling and accents throughout. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the spacious living area, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A true celebration of indoor-outdoor living, all four bedrooms offer direct access to the surrounding patios and garden spaces—blurring the line between interior comfort and natural serenity. The primary suite is conveniently located on the first floor, offering privacy and ease of living, while a separate guest apartment with its own private entrance makes an ideal in-law suite, guest quarters, or rental opportunity. Step outside to your private pool, set amidst lush tropical landscaping, and take in the peaceful water views. For boating enthusiasts, the property features a well-equipped dock already in place and ready for your boat—a rare amenity that offers immediate access to Sarasota’s sparkling waterways. The oversized lot offers plenty of room to create your dream outdoor living area, whether that includes a summer kitchen, firepit lounge, or garden oasis. While the home is structurally sound and filled with original charm, it’s ready for someone with vision to restore it to its former glory or reimagine it into a modern coastal masterpiece. This is not your typical cookie-cutter property—it’s a true original waiting to be transformed. Whether you’re seeking a personal retreat, a multi-generational escape, or an investment in one of Sarasota’s most desirable neighborhoods, this property offers the rare combination of land, location, and waterfront lifestyle.
