Extensively renovated in 2000, the home features updated plumbing, electrical, windows, Hardie board siding, and numerous additional improvements, resulting in an effective year built of 2020. The property blends timeless character with modern functionality while offering exceptional flexibility and value. Just steps from the 10-acre Gillespie Park, residents enjoy access to tennis and basketball courts, a scenic pond, dog park, fitness trail, playground, and shaded walking paths beneath majestic oak trees. The location is within walking distance of Downtown Sarasota’s restaurants, galleries, shopping, and entertainment venues, and only 0.7 miles from Sarasota Bay and The Bay, the city’s signature waterfront park. With no HOA, no deed restrictions, DTN (Downtown Neighborhood) zoning, and potential benefits under Florida’s Live Local Act, this property offers unique opportunities for homeowners, investors, and entrepreneurs alike. The detached art studio provides an ideal live-work setting for artists, creatives, remote professionals, or anyone seeking dedicated workspace separate from the main residence. Enjoy convenient access to Sarasota’s vibrant cultural scene, including the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe, Sarasota Orchestra, Bayfront Marina, and the city’s renowned arts, dining, and entertainment districts. Whether you're seeking a primary residence, seasonal retreat, live-work property, or investment opportunity, this home offers a rare combination of historic charm, modern upgrades, generous outdoor space, and an exceptional downtown location. Adjacent lot also available for purchase.

Estimate the monthly payment
Estimate by Lasbury Tracy Realty — not a loan offerStarting figures for 1743 8TH STREET. Everything below is editable.
AssumptionNot a quoted rate. Ask a lender what you actually qualify for today.
From this listingThe seller's most recent annual tax bill as reported to the MLS. Your bill will differ — Florida reassesses on sale and homestead caps reset.
Editable estimateA placeholder, not a quote. On the Gulf Coast this is the line item most likely to be wrong: premiums swing on roof age, wind mitigation, elevation, and carrier appetite. Get a real quote before you rely on this number.
Starts at $0Deliberately zero until you enter a figure — we will not inflate a payment with a guess. Many homes here need it; ask us for the property's flood zone and the current policy's premium.
Include condo, HOA, and master-association dues. CDD assessments usually arrive on the tax bill instead.
AssumptionNot applied — your down payment is 20% or more.
