Architectural jewel west of the Trail, mere minutes from Ringling College of Art and Design! This home exudes historic charm while having undergone extensive, compatible improvements. It is situated on a deep, shady rear-fenced lot & recently eco-landscaped front yard featuring wrought iron fencing, showcase lighting & a pond with fountain. A huge stacked stone fireplace serves as a focal point in the large living room adjoining a dining room with pecky cypress coffered ceiling, cypress walls & built-ins, just off a large, cheerful kitchen. Features such as beams & corbels, stone, colorful tile & mosaic are reminiscent of nearby opulent buildings. Partial replumbing, kitchen tile & cabinetry refurbishment, bathroom remodel/reflooring, insulation, full HVAC replacement in May 2015, flooring resealing, & interior repainting have updated while preserving the home s original flavor. Adjacent to the 2nd bedroom is an inside laundry/utility room, potentially convertible to a 2nd bathroom. Outside living areas maintain the original ambience of this home, with a screened front porch & both covered & open flagstone patios in the rear. Pricing the home to sell, the owner hopes its next owner will enjoy residing in this very special property.
