Property Description

Welcome to the 'Grace and Effie Bills House,' a rare locally designated historic treasure in Sarasota's highly sought-after Laurel Park Historic District. This 1925 Craftsman Style Bungalow is perfectly situated on a quiet street within walking distance of downtown amenities. Radiating a vibrant, tropical personality with its iconic colorful façade the home is a magical, inspiring retreat perfect for the history lover, artist, musician, or creative soul. A jasmine-covered archway sets the tone as you arrive at the charming front porch and step inside this light-filled 2BR/1BA “jewel box,” where vintage character meets thoughtful updates throughout. This home is a masterclass in the efficient use of space, blending a breezy 'Old Florida' feel with modern updates. Architectural details such as crown molding, baseboards, and built-in cabinetry add authenticity. The open-concept living and dining area features a classic white brick fireplace and flows seamlessly into a kitchen that has been opened up to maximize every inch, and updated with quartz countertops, stainless appliances, beautiful cabinetry, and a gas stove for the culinary enthusiast. The interior showcases a timeless palette including a beautifully updated bathroom featuring a glass shower and crisp white cabinetry. Extending the living space with an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the property boasts two spacious screened porches that extend the width of the residence, where you can enjoy the neighborhood breeze on your street-side front porch or host intimate alfresco meals on the private rear dining porch, which overlooks a hidden backyard sanctuary enveloped in lush tropical landscaping. The property also includes a rare, historically designated detached garage—ideal for additional storage or a creative studio conversion. The extra long driveway can accomodate up to five cars. Offered turnkey furnished, this is an ideal downtown pied-à-terre or income-producing rental opportunity (7-day minimum). Ideally situated in a highly sought-after, historic neighborhood located in the heart of downtown Sarasota, allowing residents to walk to Burns Court, Bayfront Park & Marina, Selby Gardens, and Downtown Main Street, this is a rare chance to own a piece of Sarasota's history. Enjoy the peace of living in a quiet historic residential neighborhood while being just steps from a neighborhood kayak launch (next door), world-class dining, urban amenities, and the bayfront.
