Property Description
Welcome to Canopy Cottage—a beautifully restored and fully furnished slice of Old Florida charm, located in one of Sarasota's historic “Canopy Road” neighborhoods. This turnkey property has been thoughtfully renovated from the ground up by a residential architect, making it the perfect blend of historic character and modern convenience. Whether you're looking for a short-term rental investment, seasonal retreat, or full-time residence, this home checks all the boxes for easy ownership and strong rental potential. Originally built circa 1945, the home underwent a complete renovation in 2019–2020 with all-new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, ductwork, and reimagined spaces that make every inch feel purposeful and spacious. In December 2024, brand new, high-quality flooring was installed throughout the home, giving it a fresh and stylish feel from the moment you step inside. Designed with efficiency in mind and inspired by the “Not So Big House” philosophy, this cottage lives larger than its footprint suggests. The home is offered fully furnished—including linens, kitchenware, décor, and tech—making it ready for immediate occupancy or listing on Airbnb. No HOA, no water bill, and low-maintenance landscaping mean minimal overhead for investors. The kitchen is completely new and reconfigured with white shaker cabinets, sea glass knobs, high-design countertops, stainless steel appliances, retro microwave, under-cabinet lighting, pull-out trash and recycling, and a floating glass range hood. Adjacent is a stylish home office area and laundry with a new full-size washer/dryer. Smart-home features include high-speed WiFi, Nest Hello video doorbell with facial recognition, Nest-Yale keyless entry, Nest Protect smoke/CO detectors, Nest outdoor cam, SIMPLISAFE security system, smart water heater with remote monitoring, and Bluetooth speakers in the bathrooms. Every function of the home can be monitored and managed remotely—ideal for investors managing from afar. Enjoy outdoor living with two fully screened and furnished porches (including a porch swing), an enclosed outdoor shower with hot/cold water, a fire pit lounge, a cast stone picnic table with umbrella, and a patio with a propane grill. A divided storage shed offers space for guest beach gear on one side and owner storage on the other. Located minutes from Siesta Key beaches, downtown Sarasota, shopping, dining, parks, and the Legacy Trail, the property is also adjacent to a county-owned, unbuildable lot—offering privacy and peace of mind. This quiet, eclectic neighborhood is in transition, making it a smart buy in a growing area. With no deferred maintenance, brand new flooring, all major systems upgraded, and a proven track record as a vacation rental, Canopy Cottage offers a rare opportunity to step into a low-maintenance, high-appeal investment in the heart of Sarasota. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
