Charming Sarasota Bay-View Cottage with Timeless Character and Modern Comforts
418 Edwards Dr, Sarasota, FL 34243
2 Beds | 1 Bath | 1,403 Sq Ft | .39 Acre Lot | No HOA
Welcome to a slice of Sarasota’s coastal charm! Nestled right along the shimmering waters of Sarasota Bay and across from the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, this beautifully maintained 1950s single-family cottage offers the rare blend of original character, recent updates, and flexible use potential—all on an expansive .39-acre lot with NO HOA restrictions.
Step onto the welcoming front porch and into a light-filled living room, where oversized windows, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a built-in bookcase instantly make you feel at home. The open-concept flow continues through a dedicated dining space and into the modernized kitchen—fully remodeled in 2018 with sleek cabinetry, updated appliances, and plenty of counter space to bring your culinary ideas to life.
The home’s engineered bamboo flooring, installed throughout in 2018, brings warmth and continuity to the entire home. A central hallway leads to two well-appointed bedrooms, thoughtfully separated for privacy. The updated full bathroom with stand alone shower and a tub, conveniently located at the start of the hallway, makes it convenient for guests and everyday use for the residents.
Out back, you’ll find where this home truly shines. The generously sized backyard, surrounded by a new fence (2024), features a deck right of the kitchen exit, which was installed in 2019—perfect for hosting family gatherings or quiet evenings under the stars. The family’s favorite memories were made here, from backyard parties to playing with their children & pets, and now it’s ready for the next chapter.
Enjoy a partial view of Sarasota Bay, mature landscaping, and a sense of peaceful seclusion—all while having room to build a detached garage, store your RV or boat. Although this home has never been rented out, BUYERS SHOULD EXPLORE THE PROPERTY’S POTENTIAL AS AN INCOME-PRODUCING RENTAL, making it a fresh opportunity for a savvy investor or someone looking to enjoy Florida living full-time.
