Description

Built in 1950, 349 Scott Avenue is a rare find - a property where original character hasn't been replaced, but respected. Thoughtful remodels over the years have preserved the timeless feel of this classic Sarasota bungalow, allowing its architectural integrity and warmth to remain intact. Inside, original oak flooring, high ceilings, and oversized hurricane-resistant windows reflect a time when homes were built to breathe, endure, and connect naturally to their surroundings. Sunlight moves easily through the living spaces, highlighting craftsmanship that feels authentic rather than manufactured. Solar panels (owned) power this home, keeping energy costs low. Set on an exceptional .52-acre parcel, the grounds are nothing short of special. At the heart of the landscape stands a majestic oak tree estimated to be over 100 years old - a living landmark that anchors the property both visually and historically. Around it, lush, Florida-friendly plantings have been carefully curated by long-time owners who understood that true beauty matures over time. This is a setting designed for shade, serenity, and a deep sense of place. A new roof (2025) adds modern reassurance, seamlessly complementing a home that balances preservation with practicality. This home values heritage over trends, land over lot lines, and character over convenience alone, this is a meaningful opportunity to become the next steward of a truly special Sarasota home. Homes with this level of history, land, and authenticity are increasingly rare - schedule your private showing to experience it in person.
