115 EDMONDSON AVENUE SARASOTA FL 34242 MLS #A4596012

Welcome to The Morrison House, designated by the City of Sarasota as historically significant with the distinctive visible characteristics of an architectural style of the 30s and 40s. This charming cottage was constructed by Delbert Morrison as part of a fishing village and has undergone updates while maintaining the structure’s charm and integrity. Curb appeal is undeniable as you peak over the classic white picket fence and beyond the charming paver walks lined by tropical landscaping to find this cheerful, distinguished abode. Step past the threshold into an inviting vestibule that connects the original living structure at the east end of the residence with the added living space (circa 1996) at the west end. Step back in time to the original homestead and find a spacious media room enhanced by the original period fireplace, heart pine floors, natural cedar paneling and built-in bookshelves. Your guests will be well accommodated in one of the two guest rooms off the living room, both benefiting from the updated connecting bathroom. Ascend the original staircase to find another bedroom or versatile second story space with a private bath, all adorned with charming, coastal décor. Traverse back through the vestibule to find the additional living area, carefully crafted to blend seamlessly with the original structure. The kitchen has no shortage of contemporary comfort with two toned cabinets featuring a custom range hood, wall mounted oven and microwave, a smooth electric cooktop and chic granite countertops. The great room is generous in size and has a stunning view to the outdoor patio and waterway beyond. Your principal suite is more than adequate with an elegantly finished bath and a private study with access to the patio. Your outdoor oasis awaits with a pool and cascading hot tub with wifi automated filter system, a spacious seating area, and a stunning view of the prestigious Bayou Louise. Notable details include: plantation shutters throughout; one-car garage with new opener; automatic boat lift with rebuilt lift structure; ADT security system with cameras and thermal detection capabilities; wifi Ecobee climate system; auto architectural lighting. Indeed a rare opportunity, a beguiling bit of Siesta Key history could be yours!
