1855 ORCHID ST, Sarasota, FL 34239

Because it's all about location…West of the Trail and minutes to the beach and downtown! Newer craftsman style home featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths! Perfectly appointed in one of the most sought after locations in Sarasota… framed by a scalloped picket fence and charming gate that leads to a beautiful sprawling southern style front porch, aglow with a one-of-a-kind gas hanging lantern over its hand distressed pecky cypress oversized entrance door. Inside, quality and craftsmanship at its best. No attention to detail has been left behind in this open sun lit floor plan. Including rich dark oak floors, a great room with soaring 11.5 ft. ceiling heights, a gas fireplace, extensive wood trim, crown molding and several architectural ceilings, French doors with transom glass windows above and a laundry room with storage! The large open kitchen offers granite counters, breakfast bar, generous amount of wood cabinets, stainless appliances, a wine fridge and pantry. What’s not to love in the luxurious spa-like, first floor, master suite from the glassed enclosed shower, beautiful deep claw foot soaking tub, double sinks adorned with high end faucets, marble flooring and closets. An office/den adjacent to the kitchen reveals views of a lovely large covered back porch and a private backyard of lush well maintained landscaping (with room for a pool). The second floor offers two guest bedrooms, another luxurious bath and a sitting room.
