Property Description
This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a bonus room spans 1,710 square feet and sits on a quiet, tree-lined street where new custom homes are redefining the skyline — yet here, you get the best of both eras.
Inside, you'll find authentic Spanish tile floors underfoot, a fully updated kitchen featuring fresh countertops, crisp white cabinetry, bold patterned backsplash, and sleek appliances — all bathed in natural light from new hurricane-impact windows.
The layout flows effortlessly from living to lounging, with a Florida room perfect for slow mornings, a screened lanai ideal for entertaining, and a fully fenced backyard that offers privacy and play space. The bonus room (with high wood-accented ceilings) is a true chameleon: art studio, office, gym, guest suite — your call.
And here's where it gets serious:
• New Roof
• New HVAC System
• New Tankless Hot Water Heater
• 1-Car Garage
• Fresh Landscaping & Low-Maintenance shell front yard with paver driveway
You're less than five minutes to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Southside Village, and Morton's Market — with Siesta Key's white sands just down the road.
This is more than a turnkey home. It's a strategic opportunity:
Live here while you design your dream home
Buy into the Southside school district now, before prices leap again
Or build new on this valuable lot in a neighborhood already being transformed by luxury developers
Aesthetic, updated, and well-positioned, 1881 Orchid isn't just a home. It's a smart move in a shifting market.
