A RARE SLICE OF OLD FLORIDA IN THE HEART OF SARASOTA! Tucked away in a surprisingly peaceful, semi-secluded setting, this charming 1932 cottage sits on an exceptional .45-ACRE HOMESITE—nearly 20,000 square feet of land with a wonderfully private, almost country-like feel. Located on a quiet dead-end street in an off-the-beaten-path pocket of Sarasota, this is anything but the typical small-lot property. The cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers vintage character and an opportunity to enjoy it as it is, make it your own, or explore the possibilities this unusually large property may offer. DREAMING OF BUILDING A NEW HOME WHILE KEEPING THE EXISTING COTTAGE? With approximately .45 acres and RSF2 zoning, the property's size creates an intriguing opportunity to investigate whether the existing home could potentially remain as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) while a future dream home is constructed on the property, subject to applicable Sarasota County zoning, permitting, setbacks and other governmental requirements. Buyers should independently verify their intended use with the appropriate authorities. The expansive grounds provide abundant space for gardening, outdoor living, pets, hobbies, recreational vehicles and all the toys, while existing outbuildings provide additional storage and utility. Mature vegetation and generous separation from neighboring properties enhance the property's peaceful, tucked-away atmosphere. NO HOA and Flood Zone X add even more appeal. Here you'll find an increasingly difficult combination to duplicate in Sarasota: LAND, PRIVACY, CHARACTER AND LOCATION. It feels refreshingly removed from the typical suburban setting while remaining convenient to shopping, dining, downtown Sarasota, I-75 and everything the Suncoast has to offer. Whether you're looking for an Old Florida cottage, room to spread out, a unique homesite for your future dream home, or a property with intriguing long-term possibilities, 900 Bokhara Place deserves a look. BRING YOUR VISION—AND DISCOVER JUST HOW MUCH POSSIBILITY CAN FIT ON NEARLY HALF AN ACRE IN SARASOTA!
