Located west of the trail, this historic property offers unique private living on a large gated lot at the end of a cul-de-sac which overlooks Hudson Bay. The "Ringling House" is a 4B/3B turnkey furnished estate home with a heated pool and spa in a park like private setting on a nearly double sized lot. It is located between Southside Village and Burns Court and just a short walk to downtown Sarasota, Selby Gardens, and all that Sarasota has to offer. Nearby Lido and Siesta Keys with their beautiful beaches are just a short drive away! The unique character of this home was inspired and built by Leon Pickett, the chief Engineer for the Ringling Brothers in 1923. Since then it has been tastefully preserved and updated, offering the original high ceilings and a large eat-in kitchen with stainless appliances, granite countertops, and a laundry room conveniently located off the kitchen. The dining area has the original built ins and glass cabinets surrounding a dining table for ten.
The living room is tastefully decorated with a tropical flair and large windows that bring the outdoors in with its lush surroundings. It has Mexican tile flooring and high painted wood beamed ceiling and built in bookshelves. There is a king sized bedroom on the main floor with a private bath and French doors out to a courtyard. The upstairs offers three additional bedrooms. One is an additional suite featuring a king sized bed, private bath and walk in closets.

An adjacent 22 X 20 cabana/garage on the property offers additional space converted into a billiards/recreation room. All of this is yours and ready to move into and/or keep as an year-around income producing property while you come and go!
