About the host
Hosted by Emily Rule Sue
I am a Sarasota native, born and raised. We bought this home to be able to spend summers with our extended family in one spot and we love that we are able to share it for the rest of the year.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is beautiful, historic, well established and close to EVERYTHING!! Right on the bike path to Marina Jacks and downtown. Close to everything downtown has to offer... amazing dining, entertainment, shopping and just a quick drive over the bridge to St Armands and Longboat Key. You're so close without having to deal with the downtown traffic or being in a cramped condo apartment.
What makes this property unique
This property is the definition of spacious. The high ceilings, the historic styling next to the modern, the feeling of happiness and creativity that the home inspires is hard to match.
