CHARMING UPDATED STUDIO ON WHITAKER BAYOU - UTILITIES INCLUDED

Discover a truly unique retreat in the heart of Sarasota. This 550 sq ft, first-floor studio is... set on a private half-acre property overlooking Whitaker Bayou, tucked just behind Ringling College of Art & Design.

Recently updated with new flooring and a beautifully renovated tile shower, the space offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with comfortable, ambient lighting.

Enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening on the spacious front porch, surrounded by a lush tropical canopy and peaceful waterfront views. The property also features a backyard fire pit seating area overlooking the bayou, perfect for relaxing and enjoying Sarasota's natural beauty.

Ideally located just 5 minutes from downtown Sarasota's vibrant dining, arts, and entertainment scene, and only 10 minutes to the white sand beaches of Lido Key.

This is a rare opportunity for a tenant seeking privacy, natural beauty, and historic charm with modern updates in a highly convenient location.
