Don't miss this adorable Florida cottage! You'll fall in love with the neighborly front porch and the private landscaped courtyard enhanced by the melody of birdsong. This updated 2 bed/2 bath home is tucked away on a quiet cul de sac at the end of Chapel Drive in the historical bayfront neighborhood of IndianBeach Sapphire Shores. You could not find a better location blending city life with a friendly neighborhood vibe. Surprisingly, this tranquil abode is only 5-minutes to downtown Sarasota, 5-minutes to The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and 3-minutes to the Ringling College of Art and Design. This home is move-in ready with new AC in 2023, new water heater in 2022, new electrical panel in 2022, new roof in 2019, updated kitchen and bath, impact resistant windows, and for the chef, your kitchen comes equipped with a gas stove. The front yard and the courtyard have been freshly landscaped and a separate metered irrigation system installed. The fenced backyard offers both a dining area and fire pit. Imagine sharing dinner with friends outdoors, followed by a fire side chat under the massive oak tree in the privacy of your backyard! If you choose to join the neighborhood HOA, you'll share an annual picnic, yard sale and Easter Egg Hunt with neighbors, not to mention sunsets over Sarasota Bay at IndianBeach Park or Sapphire Shores Park. Don't let this delightful home slip away - make it your seasonal getaway, your permanent residence or a vacation rental!
