Property Description
Virtually Staged. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees in one of Sarasota’s most coveted neighborhoods, 1714 South Drive presents a rare opportunity to secure a prime homesite in Cherokee Park, West of the Trail and moments from the very best of Sarasota living. Set on a beautifully established lot with lush, mature landscaping, a paver driveway, and a combination of garage and carport parking, the property offers an immediate sense of privacy and presence. Inside, the home unfolds with a surprisingly expansive footprint and a floor plan that captures natural light throughout. A welcoming entry with a leaded stained-glass door opens to multiple living spaces, including a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and distinctive Saltillo tile flooring, alongside a light-filled family room wrapped in windows with views of the pool and direct access to the lanai. The dining room, positioned with a bay window overlooking the pool, connects seamlessly to the kitchen, which features granite countertops, glass-front cabinetry, a center island with cooktop, and a breakfast nook with access to a private side deck. The layout offers flexibility with multiple bedroom and office options, including a front bedroom or office with a wall of windows and an in-wall safe, and a private guest suite with its own bath showcasing vintage turquoise tile and retro detailing. A secondary guest bedroom includes built-in workspaces and shelving, ideal for dual office use or creative space. The primary suite is tucked privately toward the rear of the home, offering direct access to the lanai, abundant natural light, and a spacious bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and skylight above. Additional spaces include a bonus room off the garage with bedroom conversion potential, a pool bath, and a separate flex space off the lanai with wood-paneled walls and its own mini-split system, ideal for a studio, gym, or additional lounge. Outdoors, the home continues to deliver with an oversized, caged pool and covered lounging areas, surrounded by mature landscaping, stone walkways, and a fully fenced yard. An existing outdoor kitchen structure and multiple access points from the home create a true indoor-outdoor flow that aligns perfectly with Sarasota’s year-round lifestyle. What truly elevates this property is its location. Just moments from the shops and restaurants of Southside Village or downtown Sarasota’s waterfront, cultural venues, and marina. It is close to Sarasota Bay and just a short drive to Siesta Key’s north bridge. This is a setting that defines convenience and coastal luxury. Cherokee Park remains one of the most desirable addresses in Sarasota, and 1714 South Drive offers the rare combination of location, lot, and layout, an exceptional opportunity in the heart of Sarasota.
