2836 Olympic St, Sarasota, FL 34231

A cute beach cottage on a very quiet dead end road with a nice fenced private yard. This home has been recently renovated from top to bottom, inside and out. The yard has been well, taken care of and has nice green grass as well as fruit producing trees that have matured.. From bananas, to lemons, to guava, to bitter sour melon, and herbs like basil, lavender, Italian parsley, and rosemary. There are even nice containers available to plant your own vegetables or fruit. There was an expensive fence, put around the entire property for added privacy. The fresh exterior paint is the color of sea glass. In a light aqua with white trim. The front column's taper, and at the bottom have grey stone that complements the paver driveway and paver walkway that is all around the house which was a costly the upgrade. You have pavers completely leading to the back door to create nice pathways wherever you decide to walk. The shed on the property is not available and is used by the owner and locked at all times. Though the tiny home/ shed is not something you can use, it still offers a nice view for the house being that it matches the color of the exterior and gives the look of a small guest house. There is a gravel pad that has been added in front of the tiny home/shed it doesn't affect home in anyway and will be rented out for those who want to store their Rv or have a place to hook up to power and even water. The tenant of the home can also choose to rent this gravel pad at a discounted price for their own RV or even their boat. The neighborhood is quiet being on a dead end street and offers security when storing these items. This is a non-deed and non-HOA restricted neighborhood, so you can rest freely knowing that when you park something like this, it is neighborhood friendly. The gravel pad designated for RVs has its own driveway so it doesn't interrupt the beautiful paver driveway that is exclusive to the home. The RV designated area also has its own paver porch that was custom laid and quite lovely with a beautiful 15 foot umbrella and porch furniture. With all of the mature fruit trees, lovely landscaped beds, pavers, lighting, and design of the yard it screams a sophisticated Siesta Key vacation in a good way! The home was built in 1950 and has the original white marble window seals. The bathroom is located near the heart of the house and has a new custom shower featuring subway tile and black iron faucets and chandelier lighting. There is a new full size set washer/ dryer. The kitchen has brand new, Italian made state of art appliances that are black with gold featuring a double door refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, glass top range and lovely matching hood. There's also a large white Italian porcelain, farmhouse sink and new callacatta quartz countertops throughout. The walls have been bricked in the kitchenfor an added warmth. This gives that rustic, Italian feel making cooking feel like an experience in itself. In the center of the large kitchen is an island with a waterfall edge also made of quartz. The lighting used in his home is extremely elegant and stylish. In the kitchen there's an art deco look to the lighting, complimenting the appliances in black and gold. On the other side of the kitchen, and in the back of the house, there is a large sunlit room that I call a den, but some people would call a lanai. There are large windows in this room that run floor to ceiling. The linen look of the curtains in this room match the decor, but they have the added effect of being blackout as well when closed. The couch that is in this room is brand new with a contemporary sleep design. It's made by Serta and can be converted into a bed.. Also, in this room behind a set of modern, barn doors is a full-size Maytag washer and dryer. There is custom built-in shelving around the washer and dryer for added ease when storing various laundry products and other items. On the other side of this room, there is a full-size desk with a chair to give an office space to the home in this room that offers much light, as well as beautiful live plants who soak up the sun in there during the day. This is the perfect room to have your morning cup of coffee as you prepare to get started. In this room is also a large screen TV. You'll love the abstract pillows and I see color palette in here The tile flooring has enlarged tiles and render the look of white marble. There are new light fixtures throughout the house, and ceiling fans. Just on the other side of the kitchen is the master bedroom It has a glamorous old Hollywood style bed with a beauty rest king size mattress on it. All of the bedding is new in this room. There is a TV mounted on the wall that is also of great size for watching movies, Netflix, or whatever you delight in while relaxing in bed, There is a custom wallpapering job that was quite expensive done in this room to complement the old Hollywood look, and the canvas paintings on the wall are of Audrey Hepburn in the movie " Breakfast at Tiffany's" This room really gives off a "boutique hotel" vibe. There is also a good size room off of this master bedroom that can be used for reading , yoga, meditation, or added closet space. In this room you'll find a chair for reading and shelves with best selling novels. On the other side of his room, you will find a brand new, beautiful lit Vanity with chair Excellent place for getting ready and freeing up the bathroom. There is a window in this room for natural light, but the Vanity also has his own custom lights. There's a closet in this room, the same size as the one in the master bedroom. On the other side of the house is the guest bedroom and is quite large. In it, I have a king size bed with another very comfortable mattress, as well as luxurious bedding that complements the Italian Amalfi Coast in shades of royal blue, yellow, and white. The furniture in here is solid wood and has two matching nightstands, both equipped with a lamp and drawers. There is also a very large dresser for storing clothing. There is a closet in this room, and also a large desk with a chair for an additional area to work. This room is nice because it has its own separate private entrance to the outside. This entrance leads to a lit carport on the exterior of the home. The carport is a nice area for a grill or storing bikes, etc In the front of the home upon entering, you find a very well sized living room, that has an oversized, comfortable sectional made by Ashley furniture in a stylish, plush fabric. The throw pillows on this couch, were custom designed in the colors of the home with very textured fabrics and detail. There is an electric fireplace in the living room that is also quite large and very inviting itself, offering changing light color for mood and a setting where you can have actual heat blowing or turn it off and just have the faux fireplace going for ambience. Above the couch is a fandelier. The duality gives you not only the beauty of the chandelier, but also a fan for being practical on really hot summer days. The large screen TV above the fireplace is perfect for cuddling up to watch a movie, and it offers a DVD player as well. Adjacent to the living room is the formal dining room. There is a beautiful solid wood table in there that seats eight comfortably. The draperies in this room, complement the draperies in the living room for a cohesive feel and adding to the size of the entertainment area when hosting dinner parties. I am a chef here in Sarasota, so I custom designed all of the renovations on this house to give that dinner party feel with the perfect kitchen that has an island, flowing into a sizable dining room/ living room combo as you come through the front door. This house gives big for holiday gatherings. From the lovely draperies in every room To the high end lighting, exposed beams in both the kitchen and den, barn doors in the den as well as a large frosted glass barn door that can be closed when the Den has an overnight guest, or you prefer to keep the sound down in the back den while entertaining upfront. Nothing was done cheap on this home. Each room was well thought out. Even the door knobs are a glass historical style with black matte. There is a state of the art ADT alarm system that includes a ring camera on the front door The landlord covers the monthly monitoring fees for this alarm so you can feel secure at all times. This home can be unfurnished upon request, but the owner prefers to keep it furnished, and when it's furnished, it can include all of the dishes, copper & cast iron pots, pans, bakery pans, skillets, spices, and silverware. Short term this house can be rented out for three months, six months or long-term as an annual rental, which is preferred by the owner. For three months stays the home is offered at 3400 per month for six months stays the home is offered out at 3200 a month . And as an annual rental, it is offered at 2850 per month. This is an extremely stylish beach bungalow, and one of a kind being it's located walking distance to restaurants, doctors offices, and grocery stores. It's only 4.1 miles to Siesta Key beaches, and 2.7 miles to the Sarasota Memorial hospital. If you have a dog, they are welcome, but no more than two pets and a deposit is required with each. Turtle beach offers an area where you can walk your dog on the ocean and it is just next to Siesta Key beach. Everything is very convenient as it is in city limits, and west of I 75 making it much more desirable. With this property being so newly renovated in 2025 it is like walking into a brand new property. The owner is local, and only miles away in case of any unexpected needs. There are also schools that are walking distance to this house. The road it is on is very quiet and there is no through traffic with only about seven other newer homes, yet it is walking distance to just about everything you need. Even a good quality gym!
