One of the best parts of this home is its unbeatable location. You are just a short drive from:
- Siesta Key Beach — consistently rated one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
(exactly 10 minutes by car to the island)
- Lido Key Beach and St. Armands Circle for upscale shopping and waterfront dining.
(22 minutes drive)
- Downtown Sarasota’s restaurants, art galleries, nightlife, and marina.
(13 minutes drive)
- Red Bug Slaugh Preserve - where you step into a tropical enchanted forest, perfect for walking and biking and bird / turtle watching.
(1 minute drive or a 10 minute walk / 3 minutes by bike.)

Note: the backyard faces Proctor road and it's not a quiet one. If it's full tranquility and zero noise you are after, this won't be the perfect place for you. It's dynamic here as it's close to everything, behind a college.

Also note: birds couldn't care less about street noise and I have been sitting in the backyard watching them come and go for four years now. The house is in a bird migration route and we see egrets, parrots, mockingbirds come and go daily.
Animal sightings are very frequent. We have lots of bunnies this spring.
