7166 Captain Kidd Ave., Sarasota, FL 34231

Bay front Cape Cod cottage nestled into a spectacular, tropical lot that has merited the honor of one of only five spots in the "Premier Garden Tour of 5 Private Coastal Gardens by Sarasota Garden Club" on March 15th. Incredible landscaping features a canopy of trees, amazing specimen plantings and giant stag horn ferns -- a setting like no other. The house is almost 3,000 square feet with a flowing floor plan, large living room with wood burning fireplace, walls of windows overlooking the large yard, the gazebo with built-in hot tub and the bay. The house features oak flooring, a great kitchen with wood cabinets, granite counters, a built-in planning desk with shelving above and a view of the bay. The family room, Florida room and master bedroom also overlook the bay. Upstairs features 2 bedrooms and a loft area. There is a large, circular drive and a 3-car side entry garage with space above that could be converted into a caretaker's room. A dock proposal has been provided.
