323 Suwanee Ave
Five houses from the bay, and every bit as grand as that sounds. This 1950s classic in Ballentine Manor sits on almost half an acre; a rare find this close to the water. Step through glass pocket doors that open the living room to the sitting room, a detail you just don't see anymore. Luxury vinyl plank runs throughout, the kitchen and baths have been updated, and the roof is new as of 2024. Impact windows keep things quiet and secure, year-round. Four bedrooms, three baths, including two full ensuites means room to spread out, room to host. The kitchen is big enough for a crowd, and outside, the pool and outdoor kitchen make Sarasota's weather feel like it was made for this backyard. The current owner used the right rear bedroom as an owner's bedroom and the front right bedroom as an office. Close the pocket door to both bathrooms, and you have an owner's suite with all you can imagine. See the online pictures for ideas! The location does a lot of the talking, too: a short trip to the Ringling Museum, downtown Sarasota, and Lido Beach. Bay access nearby. History, character, and a setting that's genuinely hard to replace. Homes like this — with this much land, this close to the water — don't come around often.
