Calling All Artists, Visionaries, and Handymen Discover one of Sarasota’s most distinctive neighborhoods, Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores, a community rich with art, culture, and history. Picture tree-lined streets, character-filled homes, and being just moments from the shimmering Sarasota Bay. This original 1930s cedar shake cottage is ready for someone with creativity and vision to restore its charm or reimagine it entirely. The home features two bedrooms, two baths, a spacious living area, and a dedicated dining room filled with vintage appeal and potential. A rare highlight is the massive detached four-car garage, along with a covered brick-paved area that would be perfect for an artist’s studio, workshop, additional parking, or an incredible outdoor entertaining space. Set on a lush 10,000+ square foot lot, the property offers endless possibilities. If new construction is your dream, you could build a home up to 3,500 square feet on this beautiful piece of land. Adding to its charm, this neighborhood is home to colorful wild peacocks, a unique way to start and end your day. Enjoy being minutes from the Ringling Museum, SRQ Airport, and Downtown Sarasota, as well as close proximity to Lido Key Beach, St. Armands Circle, and Siesta Key. Whether you’re an artist seeking inspiration, an investor looking for a project, or a buyer ready to build a dream home in one of Sarasota’s most coveted neighborhoods, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
