Among the Banyans
The weather was charged this morning as were the attitudes of our Signature Sotheby’s International Realty colleagues as we met at our new listing at 1855 Orchid Street in Sarasota. What a pleasure to be able to meet in such a warm and welcoming place!
“You’ll know the term “Old Florida” when you see this captivating work of art, affectionately referred to as the “Tree House”. This Key West Style home, peppered with creative accents, fits perfectly behind the enormous Banyan tree, around which it was built. It represents a one-of-a-kind statement to compliment the surrounding community. In one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Sarasota and just minutes to world famous Siesta Key beach, rated #2 in the world by the way, you’ll find this custom designed, expertly crafted, elegant yet functional 3 or 4 bedroom, 2½ bath residence. The home exudes quality throughout as evidenced by its 11’6” ceilings downstairs, 9’2” ceilings upstairs; the roomy, open floor plan with Master and office/den/4th bedroom on the main level; custom cypress hand-distressed front door; custom gas light; unique high end kitchen with Xenon task lighting and custom quality cabinets; extra large solid poplar molding on all crown, baseboards, trims and sills; dark oak flooring; upgraded hardware; paver driveway; Insta-hot water at the kitchen sink; reo-stats on most lighting; pest resistant hardy board siding; traditional custom made wood balusters and solid oak stairs and railing; custom transoms above all doors. You’ll be perfectly positioned here in Southside School District, around the corner from vibrant Southside Village with all its shops and restaurants, and a short drive to downtown Sarasota with enough culture to delight all the senses. Come sit, relax, enjoy and stay!
There is such value in being able to meet as the coherent group that we are and to interact in ways in which to assist each other in our business. The feedback is invaluable and taken to heart!
On returning, our Sellers indicated that they’d driven by and seen the cars lining both sides of the street and around the corner. They welcomed the remarks and were quick to agree to do the few things that will help us sell the property. They really understand the value of the opinions of over 50 of the top real estate professionals in the field and will take them to heart.
We are so thrilled to be a part of such a professional, supportive team! We can’t wait to have the two showings we’ve already lined up.
