Property Description
Tucked into the heart of Gillespie Park, this storybook Key West bungalow feels like a private tropical escape-yet it's just moments from downtown Sarasota, the Bayfront, top restaurants, shops, and the city's vibrant arts and theater district. Bright, colorful, and impeccably cared for, this is one of those homes that makes you smile the moment you arrive. A winding brick path leads you to the charming front porch-wide, welcoming, and made for morning coffee, evening wine, and slow conversations under the ceiling fans. The cheerful exterior palette, metal roof, and lush palms set the tone for the relaxed Florida lifestyle waiting inside. The main home offers two bedrooms and one bath, filled with natural light, original wood floors, and classic details-including a cozy fireplace that anchors the living room. Every space feels warm, intentional, and lovingly maintained. The dining room flows easily into the kitchen, which is bright and functional with plenty of storage and vintage charm. Bedrooms are peaceful retreats with garden views, and the bathroom feels fresh and timeless.Step outside and you're transported into a private backyard oasis. Brick pavers wind around a sparkling pool with a waterfall feature, surrounded by mature palms, tropical landscaping, and total privacy. This is where afternoons melt away-lounging poolside, hosting friends, or enjoying quiet evenings under the stars.Just beyond the pool sits the detached guest house-a fully self-contained space with one bedroom, one bath, kitchenette, and living area. Perfect for guests, extended family, work-from-home, or income-producing rental potential. All of this sits on an oversized lot-a rare find in downtown Sarasota-offering space for privacy, gardens, entertaining, or even future expansion. If you've been searching for a Gillespie Park home for sale, a downtown Sarasota bungalow, or a property with a guest house and pool, 1628 7th Street is the kind of place that doesn't come around often-full of personality, charm, and true Florida soul.
