Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to own/invest in one of the most desirable residential areas in Sarasota!! This updated DUPLEX is currently generating income as a short term rental via Airbnb. Keep it as such or move into one side and rent out the other! In the past it served as the owner's primary residence and an annual rental. NO HOA!!! If you're interested in expanding, the Neighborhood zoning (DTN) Live/Work now allows up to a 3-story home and 600 square foot ancillary dwelling. Both units have 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. Roof and both AC units were replaced in 2018 in addition to all new Impact windows and slider doors. Kitchens were updated and include custom concrete countertops. Bathrooms (brand new tub/shower in one unit!) and bedroom floors have been updated on both sides. Electrical breakers were replaced in 2019 as well. It's hard to say what makes Gillespie Park so special...the ability to walk or ride your bike downtown to the local Farmer's Market or meet your friend for lunch or coffee at one of the many fabulous eateries. Or having access to 10 acres of green space within serene Gillespie Park where you're able to read a book under one of the many stately trees or tire your pup out at the Canine Club dog park. Stay fit with basketball/tennis/pickle ball courts there or do some yoga at Bayfront Park before walking the Ringling Bridge. If you head over the bridge be sure to check out gorgeous Lido Beach and Saint Armand's Circle. Mote Marine, Ringling Museum, world class shopping....there's something for everyone here!
