Setback and on the property, lies a two-story guest house which consists of two large studio apartments with the second story having a large balcony with views of Sarasota Bay.

The oversized property consists of two lots combined and equalling almost 15,000 Sq.Ft. as are most other properties in the neighborhood giving a peaceful and relaxed vibe to the area.
