1038 S OSPREY AVE, SARASOTA

West of the Trail 1920's Spanish Revival Bungalow! When you walk up the brick paved walk way you are greeted by a 1920's-era carved stone fountain.Open the hand carved door and you step into a time and place that feels very distant from the City life of Sarasota only minutes away. Rich, sensual colors greet the eye. An intimate front parlor with a tiled hearth and lustrous golden oak floors offer a sanctuary from the outside world. French doors open onto a lush courtyard an enchanting vista of tropical plantings, wrought iron wall sconces, colorful Mexican folk art and hand-painted tiles add to the rustic charm. Inspired by Spain's age-old techniques and traditions of home building, with a dash of influence from the designs of America's South west Native Americans, functional and attractive Circa-1926 house incorporates many of the classic Spanish Revival elements, including a parapet tiled roof, arched window panels, wooden archways over doors, intricately patterned tile work in kitchen and bathrooms, an interior courtyard, smooth stucco walls, and a mix of tile, stone and wooden floors. These elements all work together to produce a harmonious and comfortable ambience.
