Your search is over. Look no further. Just 2 blocks from world-famous Siesta Key Beach, this move-in ready, mid-century gem checks ALL the boxes! 5325 Avenida Del Mare is a distinctive & charming beach house built at the height of the Sarasota School of Architecture movement. This iconic 1,700 ft² three bed, two bath home is under a half mile to Beach Access #11 and exactly one mile to Siesta Key Village. Unmatched in terms of design, craftsmanship, quality of materials, price and location, here are just a few of the outstanding features of this unique beach home: Brand new roof in 2023. Freshly painted exterior. A/C is 5 years old. Updated kitchen and newer appliances in 2023. New electrical subpanel and hot water heater. New tile floors in all the bedrooms. Built in 1950. Two owners! This home could not be more perfect as a private winter retreat, a lucrative rental, or for your year-round personal enjoyment. A local property management company forecasts nearly $70k in rental income, even though this pristine home has never been rented. Other features include open-beam ceilings throughout, built-in seating in the living room, and a wood-burning fireplace. Crafted from Pecky Cypress wood, the home has solid Cypress wood doors and tongue & groove paneling. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open from the living and kitchen areas to an oversized 650 sq ft front lanai that is the perfect spot for relaxing on hammocks after a day at the beach. The 640 sq ft primary bedroom has French windows and doors, ensuite bath, an alcove office area, walk-in closet and separate entrances that allow for privacy - ideal for guests or extended family. The home offers versatility, as the layout might lend itself to being configured as a 2-bedroom/1 bath at the front of the home, with the primary bedroom serving as a fully equipped “Owner’s Suite” with the installation of a kitchenette. Original finishes in the two guest bedrooms include custom built-in desks, dressers, and closets. A 10’ x 12’ free-standing outbuilding at the back of the property equipped with electricity can serve as an artist’s workshop or storage space. Just imagine the possibilities with the potential for paved walkways around the perimeter of the home to your new pool in the backyard and a hot tub on the side of the home accessible from the glass sliding doors outside the guest bedrooms. Rental income projection, pool estimate and pool plans available. Can be sold turnkey furnished.
