Description

Tucked away on highly sought-after Bay Island, just over the North Siesta Key Bridge, 679 Norsota Way is a rare and extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Sarasota’s architectural history or create something entirely new. Built in 1926, this Mediterranean Revival estate with Spanish Colonial influences sits gracefully on an expansive 2/3-acre lot, offering timeless character, generous scale, and unmatched potential. With 150 feet of deep water bayfront, the homesite is one of the largest on Bay Island's coveted northern edge.

The 3,788 sqft two-story residence features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a dedicated office, and a flexible bonus room, with all bedrooms thoughtfully positioned on the second level. The primary suite is exceptionally spacious and captures breathtaking views overlooking Sarasota Bay, the Ringling Bridge, and the downtown skyline, a daily backdrop that defines true coastal living.

Original details and soft historic charm are present throughout, providing a warm and inviting foundation ready to be reimagined. The home has been flood remediated but not remodeled, offering a clean slate for restoration or renovation while preserving its architectural integrity.

Importantly, the property is not historically designated, presenting a rare level of flexibility. For those seeking new construction, this exceptional 2/3-acre homesite offers the opportunity to start fresh without the constraints of an HOA or significant building restrictions, an increasingly uncommon advantage in such a premier location. No deed restritions or grand oaks constrain construction.

Beyond the main residence, a secondary structure provides a two-car garage and hobby space, ideal for storage, creative pursuits, or future customization. Perfectly positioned just 10 minutes to downtown Sarasota and 5 minutes to the beach, this property blends privacy, proximity, and prestige in one of the area’s most coveted neighborhoods.
