About this home
Big charm, thoughtful updates, and a fantastic Sarasota location—this one-of-a-kind cottage packs a lot into a small footprint! This 1-bedroom, 1-bath home blends warm vintage character with smart improvements already in place, while leaving plenty of opportunity to add your own style.
Step inside and you’ll quickly see what makes this home different. Rich wood-paneled walls and a striking stone fireplace create a warm, inviting living space with character that is increasingly hard to find. Wood-look tile flooring flows throughout the home, bringing an updated feel while complementing its original cottage style. The bright kitchen features soft close cabinetry, generous storage, a stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher, and a clean, functional design. The bathroom has also been refreshed with a tiled walk-in shower, glass doors, and a dual-sink vanity. A 2021 roof adds another important update to this classic Sarasota cottage.
The living space extends outdoors to a large screened porch, creating a comfortable spot to enjoy Florida’s year-round indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Beyond the porch, the backyard is surrounded by mature trees and tropical landscaping, offering privacy, shade, and room to garden, relax, or create your own outdoor retreat.
Adding even more versatility is a separate approximately 300-square-foot utility building with laundry, a utility sink, electricity, and additional usable space. Whether envisioned as a workshop, creative studio, hobby area, or expanded storage, this separate building offers flexibility rarely found at this price point.
The location makes this property even more appealing. Shopping, dining, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, the Legacy Trail, and everyday conveniences are nearby, while Siesta Key Beach is just a short drive away. Enjoy easy access to some of Sarasota’s best-known destinations while coming home to a property that feels anything but cookie-cutter.
With its 2021 roof, updated kitchen and bath, stone fireplace, screened porch, private backyard, separate utility building, and central Sarasota location, this property offers exciting possibilities as a primary residence, seasonal Sarasota retreat, or investment opportunity.
Small in size, big on charm, and full of possibilities—2837 Forest Lane is a Sarasota cottage ready for its next chapter....
