One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This is one of those places that just makes sense the minute you walk in, and it carries architectural pedigree to match. Designed by Sarasota pioneer Ruth Richmond, this residence blends clean mid-century lines with smart, livable design just minutes from downtown. Inside, you’ll find a bright, easy one-bedroom layout with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, an updated kitchen that feels clean and current, and a refreshed bathroom ready to enjoy from day one. No projects. No “someday” list. Just unpack and get on with living. Richmond was known for creating efficient, light-filled spaces that live larger than their square footage, and this home delivers exactly that. Location is the real flex. Less than a mile to downtown Sarasota means coffee, restaurants, work, and events are right there. Lido Beach is just 4.7 miles away, close enough for spontaneous sunset runs without living in full tourist mode. It’s a smart fit for a downtown employee who wants convenience without the downtown price tag. It also checks the boxes as an investment property with strong rental appeal, or a low-maintenance snowbird retreat you can lock and leave without a second thought. Architectural history. Modern updates. In the middle of everything. These are the ones that don’t sit around for long.
