Property Description

Picture-Perfect Laurel Park Opportunity! Located in one of Sarasota’s most beloved historic neighborhoods, THIS RARE OFFERING OFFERS NOT ONE - BUT TWO CHARMING HISTORIC COTTAGES set on lush, tree-shaded grounds. Just steps to everything downtown Sarasota and the bayfront - this is Laurel Park living at its best. Step inside the Gold Cottage, where classic bungalow charm meets an open, inviting design. With 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, this light-filled retreat flows seamlessly to a spacious tropical courtyard—a truly special gathering space for morning coffee or evenings under the stars. The Turquoise Cottage welcomes you through its screened front porch, perfect for a good book or card games with friends. Inside, you’ll find 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths - plus a flexible floor plan with private upstairs access—ideal for guests or rental income opportunities. Together, the two cottages offer a total of 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths and are offered turnkey furnished, ready to enjoy with family, friends, or tenants. This property offers a unique mix of old and new - with updated baths, appliances and AC's - in a setting that has a vintage charm of yesteryear and tree-lined streets with a true neighborhood vibe. Enjoy the convenience of natural gas, wood floors, open kitchens and separate laundry. A peaceful and tropical lot in this historic neighborhood is a rare find. No HOA, not in a flood zone, no storm damage plus the city rental rules support flexibility - making this property ideal as an investment, full-time home, or seasonal retreat. Live in one cottage and rent the other—or create a multi-generational sanctuary just steps from everything Sarasota has to offer. Walk to shopping, dining, weekly farmers market and cultural events. A great Florida lifestyle!
