Description
Welcome to the 'Grace and Effie Bills House,' a rare locally designated historic treasure in Sarasota’s highly sought-after Laurel Park Historic District. This 1925 Craftsman Style Bungalow is perfectly situated on a quiet street within walking distance of downtown amenities. Radiating a vibrant, tropical personality with its iconic colorful façade the home is a magical, inspiring retreat perfect for the history lover, artist, musician, or creative soul. A jasmine-covered archway sets the tone as you arrive at the charming front porch and step inside this light-filled 2BR/1BA “jewel box,” where vintage character meets thoughtful updates throughout. This home is a masterclass in the efficient use of space, blending a breezy 'Old Florida' feel with modern updates. Architectural details such as crown molding, baseboards, and built-in cabinetry add authenticity. The open-concept living and dining area features a classic white brick fireplace and flows seamlessly into a kitchen that has been opened up to maximize every inch, and updated with quartz countertops, stainless appliances, beautiful cabinetry, and a gas stove for the culinary enthusiast. The interior showcases a timeless palette including a beautifully updated bathroom featuring a glass shower and crisp white cabinetry. Extending the living space with an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the property boasts two spacious screened porches that extend the width of the residence, where you can enjoy the neighborhood breeze on your street-side front porch or host intimate alfresco meals on the private rear dining porch, which overlooks a hidden backyard sanctuary enveloped in lush tropical landscaping. The property also includes a rare, historically designated detached garage—ideal for additional storage or a creative studio conversion. The extra long driveway can accomodate up to five cars. Offered turnkey furnished, this is an ideal downtown pied-à-terre or income-producing rental opportunity (7-day minimum). Ideally situated in a highly sought-after, historic neighborhood located in the heart of downtown Sarasota, allowing residents to walk to Burns Court, Bayfront Park & Marina, Selby Gardens, and Downtown Main Street, this is a rare chance to own a piece of Sarasota’s history. Enjoy the peace of living in a quiet historic residential neighborhood while being just steps from a neighborhood kayak launch (next door), world-class dining, urban amenities, and the bayfront.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLove this school, feel so lucky to have our children here. Great teachers who love what they do, amazing parent engagement and PTO support for learning benefits like Spanish, science and the arts. Kind and mindful kids and parents in our experience. The only negative I can see is the amount of sugar/candy given out, but hey, it seems to work if you look at test scores… Blown away by this school.Parent Review2y ago - Booker Middle School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageA horrible experience today with the front desk at the school where I have picked up a child for the past five weeks and was told I could not today because my name was not on the list. I work for a foster care program. All that is fine because I understand that my name wasn’t on the list and it should have been but then the woman at the front desk, Gigi Mercado, got severe attitude with me. She heard me saying something to the little tiny baby I had in my arms, and then she got snarky and wouldn’t stop arguing with me. I told her it was her job to de-escalate the situation by not arguing back with me and she couldn’t do that. She was very difficult and not kind whatsoever! When I called the school to ask what her name was, they didn’t want to give it to me. She sounded like she just wanted to argue instead of helping out a parent.Parent Review5mo ago
