Property Description
Welcome to Historic “Hibiscus Cottage” a charming, sunlit 1929 Mediterranean Revival home that
famed golfer Bobby Jones is rumored to have once called “home”, when he lived in Sarasota. This adorable vintage home is set on almost a quarter
acre of fenced lush landscaped yard, truly a gardener and nature lover’s paradise! Hibiscus Cottage is
the perfect blend of historic character and renovated modern convenience. From the moment you walk
through the Royal Palms framing the walk way and enter the lovely courtyard complete with orange
jasmine and hibiscus trees, you start to feel how special this home is. Surprisingly spacious for a home
of this era, the bungalow features a sunny living/dining room with fireplace, renovated kitchen with
quartz counters, stainless steel appliances including a wine chiller. Built in china hutch is just one of
many architectural touches in the home. Nicely sized bedrooms with lots of efficient storage space,
primary bedroom features en-suite powder room. Main bath in hallway offers a new vessel sink stand
with additional storage, claw tub and lots of sunlight thanks to a skylight in the ceiling. Enormous
sunroom opens to tile patio and additional deck space, perfect for watching the neighborhood peacocks,
herons and ibis! Boat owners will love the convenience of Sara Bay Marina! Stroll through this very
walkable neighborhood to the bay front for gorgeous sunsets, fishing and paddle boarding or just enjoy
walking the charming streets of Whitfield Estates. Golfers will enjoy Sara Bay Country Club located just
across 41 from Whitfield Estates. An ideal West of Trail location, minutes to Ringling Museum, ASLO
theatre and the vibrant arts scene. Downtown Sarasota, Lido Beach and Anna Maria Island are also a
short drive away. Renovations include new barrel tile roof, new HVAC, instant hot water and water
softener system, kitchen cabinets, laundry room with barn door and board and batten panel, epoxy
flooring in the one car garage. Thanks to brand new ADT solar panels including battery storage system, your overall power bills are significantly reduced plus, this home will have lights on next time there is a power outage! ADT is one of the top leaders in solar panels. Priced WELL below pre-listing appraisal! At this price, this home is a bargain!
