1657 Alta Vista St FL 34236

Located on a lush corner lot, this Craftsman style home is located in an exceptional West of Trail neighborhood only a couple of streets south of downtown Sarasota and possessing a charm factor off the charts. The extensive renovation and upgrades make this home the perfect package. Updated to today's standards, this home was originally built in 1916 and known as The Lee Brewster and Lillian Hatch home. Wood floors throughout, stacked stone gas fireplace and a unique double window technique layering the original windows inside the hurricane windows preserving the original look. The current owners have preserved the vintage look while accomplishing many updates including a structural enhancement by strapping down the structure from the reconstructed brick piers all the way to the rafters, installation of a new roof and impact windows in '05. Kitchen and baths were remodeled. New wireless alarm system. The screened front porch spans the entire width of the home and is an amazing spot to lose yourself in a great book or relax in the porch swing. A detached 2 car garage has extra storage.
