Old Florida charm in this 2-story 1925 Italianate home just blocks from downtown

The House of MacGregor

This beautiful Italianate-style 2-story home was built in 1925 during the John Ringling era. It is a rare find, nestled in the quiet, peaceful neighborhood of the Central Cocoanut Historic District and listed on the local registry of historic homes. The house has been lovingly restored and retains many of its original features. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and will accommodate up to 7 people. Three of the bedrooms (king, queen, and double) are on the second floor and one bedroom (twin) is on the first floor with a private workspace with desk. There is a fully-equipped kitchen and laundry room, a large, open-air front porch, a back deck and a privately fenced patio with a charcoal/gas grill.

Sarasota is an international destination known for its fine, crystal white beaches with magnificent sunsets, and its love for the arts with numerous live theaters, opera, and museums. You will find great local fare in restaurants ranging from casual outside cafés to fine dining. Here you are located close to everything Sarasota has to offer. Just minutes from the Sarasota night life, a short walk across the street to Whitaker Gateway Park on Sarasota Bay, 3.5 miles to the beaches, 3 miles to St Armands circle, and a few blocks from downtown restaurants and shopping. A must see is the John Ringling Museum located just 4 miles north on Tamiami Trail. The sprawling grounds of banyan trees and rose gardens has sweeping views of the bay and Ca' d'Zan, the home built by John Ringling for his wife Mabel. A Publix grocery store is just 4 short blocks away.

And of course the Gulf of Mexico is the crowning allurement of this cultured city. Anything is available for your enjoyment, from lazy days on Siesta Key Beach (voted the #1 beach in the US), to rentals of boats, kayaks, and jet skis, to full days of offshore fishing. Come and enjoy our town and our home. It is our joy to provide you with a wonderful experience.
