Property Description
Paul Paver, developer of Kensington Park, and one of the mid century builders who brought Sarasota's second housing boom to life, reserved this .87 acre site for himself. He built his family this mid century beauty in 1957. The architectural details rival some of the most elegant homes of that era in Sarasota. The main home has soaring beamed ceilings and generous room sizes. There is a caged pool steps from the home and even an aviary that could also be re-screened or could be used as a gazebo for entertaining. There is a workshop just beyond the carport. The carport roof spans the distance between the workshop and the main homestead. There is a guest home for rental or family potential. The kitchen was remodeled a few years ago. The roof is 2020. Propane has been plumbed to the kitchen for the tankless water heater and the stovetop. There is a well for irrigation, but seller is not sure of condition of the irrigation system. Home has fresh paint inside and out and the bathrooms were refreshed a couple of years ago. New flooring installed everywhere except in the sunken living room which has original oak parquet. All new appliances within last couple of years. THIS HOME HAS GREAT BONES! The guest house needs some work, but has a kitchenette, bath, living room and bedroom. The property needs fencing and landscape imagination to make it really irresistible. Come see what a little creativity could do with this huge homesite and family compound. Own a part of Sarasota History!
