About 1044 Virginia Dr
Amazing 1941 pecky-cypress bungalow with metal roof in historic Indian Beach-Sapphire Shores neighborhood, west of trail. Two blocks to million dollar mansions Botanical garden double lot is 1.5 blocks to Indian Beach Park on the gorgeous Sarasota Bay. Go swimming, watch the sunset or drop in your kayak. Newer homes don't have this level of materials and craftsmanship. Unique 84-yr old home has no drywall: Old-growth timber floors, walls and ceilings. Best of both worlds: charming, private and close to everything! It's 287 ft. to world famous Ringing College of Art & Design , less than 2 miles to downtown, minutes to gulf beaches, world class dining, nightlife, comedy club, etc. USF, New College, Van Wezel Performing Arts Center and Ringling Art Museum are even closer. This home sustained no damage from water or wind in Hurricane Milton. Parcel is approx. 13 ft. above mean sea level and home is elevated 2 ft. off the ground. 60+ stands of Kanapaha (aka Wong Chuk or Royal) bamboo act as wind breaks to protect home. This bamboo is hardy to -20 degrees, grows 60 ft. tall and is incredibly dense when mature. Coupled with existing bamboo/trees/privacy fencing, the home has some very good protection from high winds. These gorgeous vintage jewel box cottages are getting very difficult to find and very expensive. Walk across the street for authentic Cuban food, Pho, funky brew-pub, coffee shop, etc. Your new home in paradise awaits your touches. This is an eclectic, funky home in an eclectic, funky neighborhood. Need to catch a flight? It's 1.6 miles Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. Recent $5K fire place renovation.
