Nestled on 1.1 acres of pristine bayfront along Sarasota Bay, Etowah stands as a timeless icon of Sarasota’s rich architectural heritage, offering sweeping, wide-open bay views to the north and south, from the manicured lawn at the water’s edge all the way to the distant skyline of downtown Sarasota, with glowing sunset views that unfold nightly across the horizon. Originally built in 1925, this distinguished two-story Mediterranean Revival estate spans over 6,500 square feet and commands captivating views across the bay, all while being just 10 minutes from downtown Sarasota.

Every major system of the home has been comprehensively replaced or upgraded, including all new electrical, plumbing, heating and air-conditioning systems, roofing, insulation, and drywall, ensuring modern performance while preserving historic integrity.
