7706 WESTMORELAND DRIVE SARASOTA FL 34243 MLS #A4620562 | Gary Kusher | Florida Real Estate

Fabulous 1926 Mediterranean Revival home just steps away from Sarasota
Bay! This 3 bed, 2.5 bath gem, known as the Beasley House, is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places and believed to be designed by renowned
architects Pringle and Smith of Atlanta, who designed other historic homes in this
renowned neighborhood. As you approach the stately front entrance you are
welcomed by two 13th century, authentic bronze French guards. Other outstanding
features of this romantic home include plank wood floors, two wood burning
fireplaces, one in the professionally appointed sitting room and one in the gracious
master suite which boasts an 18 light crystal chandelier. This magnificent home
also offers crown moldings, high ceilings, antique iron fixtures, Doric columns,
nicely appointed closets, one with a secret passageway, inlayed floor design, and
much more.
You will love to entertain on any of the terraces, loggia, conservancy, on one
of the two large sundecks or around the heated courtyard pool with a new outdoor
shower.
To adapt the home to modern standards and to preserving the home’s
authenticity and charm, the owners have made practical improvements, such as a
new roof in 2020 (wind mitigation and 4-point documents are attached to listing),
resealed deck, added new landscaping and renovated irrigation system with well
and some new pool decking. The kitchen has been updated including new
appliances, relatively new HVAC, and completely new plumbing. The interior was painted in 2020 and exterior 2023 ($25k). The detached 3
car garage affords many opportunities for storage and/or workshop including a new
utility sink and built-ins. In Whitfield Estates you may join the HOA for $50
annually, entitling you to dine at the historic Sara Bay Country Club.
Come see this very special home on the National Registry and make it your
own! This home will be available for viewing early September.
