The most sought-after location West of Trail. Situated in the Bay Point neighborhood, this home was originally built in 1949 by the grandfather of the current owners, using the finest quality materials of the time. The exterior walls are clay and the roof clay tile. The home is also built above ground elevation. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom pool home exudes character and old-world charm. Notable features include high ceilings, oversized living room with fireplace, enclosed lanai, beautiful condition oak hardwood floors, plaster walls, a split floor plan, a spacious attached 2 car garage, and an extraordinary yard. Located on a prized oversized corner lot, 135x151, overlooking the community marina. The property is in original condition, presenting a great opportunity to restore it or build a new custom home. The Bay Point neighborhood offers its own community dock. It is just a short walk to the downtown Sarasota Bayfront, Southside Village, and Marie Selby Gardens, and is easily accessible to the world-famous beaches of Lido and Siesta Key, as well as the city's dining and shopping options.
