815 Patterson Dr Sarasota, FL 34234

815 Patterson Drive is a beautifully maintained mid-century ranch with 3 bedrooms and one bath on two lots abutting Bay Shore Road which runs along Sarasota’s north shore. This cozy home is a blend of quality vintage features and modern updates. You’ll be welcomed by a brick paver walkway leading up to a classic Florida front porch. From here, you enter the living room which has an expansive picture window and cypress wood paneling reminiscent of the era. The split plan means two bedrooms and the full bath are on one side of the house while a third bedroom is on the opposite side. This third bedroom shares a wall with a substantial exterior utility room creating the possibility of a second bath and therefore an “en-suite”. The original Florida Room has been encompassed into the Living Area and is now used as a den and office. The combined kitchen and dining room is where most of the living occurs. These rooms have been updated with newer appliances, a prep island, tile floors and a wall of solid wood, built-in cabinets providing plenty of storage. There is a single car carport and an adjacent, comfortable, covered patio with brick paver flooring. The property has approximately 200 linear feet on Patterson Drive, over 50 feet on Bay Shore Road and 157 feet of depth on what could be a second lot. Remove the house to create two homesites or use all this available land for your new garage, accessory dwelling unit and pool. Many options exist on this property which is close to a half-acre in Indian Beach. Indian Beach, which contains some of the most progressive urban planning from the early 20th century is nestled amidst Sarasota's most significant cultural & educational institutions like the Ringling College of Art and Design, The John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Asolo Theater for the Performing Arts, the Sarasota Ballet and more. Live here and you are only 2 miles north of downtown Sarasota, a 12-minute drive to St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key and an equal distance to University Parkway anchored on the west by SRQ International Airport and the UTC shopping district and I75 on the east.
