"West of the Trail" is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Sarasota and Irving is one of the best streets. Within a few blocks you can choose to be in the heart of downtown, stroll along the bay front or dine and shop in trendy Southside Village. Beach lovers are within minutes of Lido beach or Siesta voted the #1 Beach in America. Looking for 'light and bright'? The big windows in every room allow natural light to pour in all day so you'll only need to turn on the lights after sunset. This home has been beautifully renovated and decorated and all you have to do is move in and relax. Really, all the work has been done -- new electric, plumbing, cable and internet wiring throughout, tankless hot water heater, A/C including duct work, security system, and plank wood floors.

There is also an oversized garage with electric service that could be converted to guest quarters, studio or keep it as a garage with a great workshop.
