About This Home
The meticulously updated and restored Craftsman-style McCall house features all the charm and vintage vibes of its 1925 construction while offering every convenience of a fully renovated modern home. The roofs on both the main home and the detached garage were replaced in 2023, new AC was installed in 2022, and all the electric and plumbing have been completely updated. A brand new tankless gas water heater and new irrigation well were just installed. In addition to the most recent updates the property was restored and renovated over the course of a decade by Pat Ball, known in the preservation community for his high-quality and sensitive work on some of Sarasota’s most important historic structures, and his wife Judy. Highlights of the Balls’ extensive work include the restoration of the native pine wood floors, the intricate millwork, and the original windows found throughout the home. The kitchen features Bosch and Café appliances, slate countertops, floor to ceiling custom cabinetry, and large windows opening to the oversized veranda. The dining room connects to both the kitchen and front foyer and features a gas fireplace and a custom reproduction Craftsman-style chandelier. The living room, also with a gas fireplace and period fixtures, receives both morning and evening natural light. The south-facing sunroom, a perfect flex-space, features three walls of oversized windows. Upstairs you will find the owner’s suite featuring a walk-in closet, new vintage-style high-end fixtures, and a large en-suite which opens to the upstairs sleeping porch. An additional two bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, and an additional renovated full bath are also located up the home’s grand staircase. The main home is complemented by an oversized garage, currently used as a custom woodshop and featuring a mini-split AC system. This detached structure also contains a guest suite with full bathroom, a second washer and dryer, and access through French doors to a covered porch overlooking the fully-fenced backyard. Located within the Indian Beach Sapphire Shores neighborhood, known for its lush tropical feel, the home’s landscaping has been designed with Florida-friendly gardens that are both beautiful to look at and easy to care for. Although the property is only 4 blocks from Indian Beach Park on Sarasota Bay, the home is located in an X flood zone where flood insurance is NOT required. The home’s convenient location is only 5 minutes to downtown Sarasota and 10 minutes to St. Armands Circle and the crystal quartz sand of Lido Beach. A great selection of restaurants and coffee shops are within walking-distance of the home. The low-cost and optional Indian Beach Sapphire Shores neighborhood association offers a neighborhood newsletter, picnics, and additional social activities. Within the neighborhood you will also find many cultural amenities including the renowned Ringling Museum, Asolo Repertory Theatre, and Sarasota Ballet.
