Bungalow, Historic

Step into Sarasota’s history reimagined for modern living. This extraordinary 1922 Spanish bungalow, located in the sought-after Owen Burns neighborhood of Laurel Park, has been thoughtfully renovated by architect Dale Parks to blend original charm with contemporary comfort. With major updates including a new air-conditioning system (2019), Thermoplastic Polyolefin roof (2018), and impact windows and doors (2020), this residence offers peace of mind alongside timeless design. Inside, the home opens with a skylight and a distinctive free-standing deco wall, creating an airy and light-filled entrance. The open layout flows with oak floors through the living and dining rooms, where abundant windows invite in natural light. The kitchen, connected to the dining area, is designed with efficiency in mind and offers a warm, welcoming space for everyday cooking and casual gatherings. Both bedrooms are generously sized, with the primary suite serving as a wonderful retreat. A large walk-in closet anchors the room, while the en-suite bathroom includes an oversized soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and dual vanity area. The guest bedroom offers equal comfort and flexibility, making it ideal for visitors, a home office, or creative space. A spacious laundry room leads to the private outdoor patio, designed in for relaxing mornings or evening entertaining. The landscaped backyard, complete with tropical plantings, newer landscape lighting, and winding pavered pathways, provides a serene, low-maintenance setting. This historic property is a rare alternative to downtown condo living—delivering privacy, character, and the freedom of single-family ownership while being just moments from Sarasota’s vibrant cultural core. Living in Laurel Park means being at the center of Sarasota’s most exciting offerings. From your doorstep, enjoy a short walk or bike ride to theaters, galleries, boutiques, and an array of dining options. Stroll to the Saturday farmers market, explore the Bayfront, or head to nearby beaches including Lido Key and Siesta Key. With its combination of architectural design, modern updates, and unmatched location, this home represents downtown Sarasota living at its most unique and desirable.
