About this property

Beautiful Historic House in Downtown Sarasota, Walk to Downtown and Bay

Be the first to rent this 1920's updated downtown 3 bedroom 1.5 bath house walking distance to restaurants, movie theater, lounges and shops in downtown Sarasota and a short drive to either Lido or Siesta Key beach. Brand new kitchen with all new appliances. Two bedrooms have queen beds and the back bedroom has two twin beds with a half bath. The full bath has a shower/bathtub. The back bedroom opens up to the fenced in back porch area with an outdoor table and a Weber bbq grill. There is a separate building to the back of the property that houses a hair salon. The owner, Stephanie, has been there for over 10 years and she has been very helpful with any issues that arise at the house. The area is very quiet and peaceful. There is a TV in the middle and front bedroom, and a main TV over the electric fireplace in the living room. The dining room and living room are combined in one large room with a mid century modern dining room table. There is also a front enclosed sitting area that looks out onto Adams Lane. The floors in the house are mostly the original hard wood, with new vinyl flooring in the kitchen/laundry area and new tile in the full bathroom. There is a stacked washer/dryer in the laundry area adjacent to the kitchen with a laundry sink. There are many original paintings throughout the home. Indigenous restaurant is next door for an easy dining experience. Towles Court is a very quiet neighborhood area, but very close to all the festivities in downtown Sarasota. Towles Court originally was an art community, which still houses many art studios in the neighborhood.

The property has security cameras on the outside of the house. There are absolutely no cameras inside.

Owner purchased the home in 2005 and did a series of upgrades over the years with new paint, refurbished hard wood floors, and other various upgrades while maintaining the 1920s feel to the home.

We loved our stay at the Perry-Little house! It is so cute. The decor is amazing. Cool art everywhere. Cozy and private. The fully stocked kitchen had everything we needed, and ots of TVs for sports and TV watching. Michael is super nice and very available and accommodating. Located close to downtown Sarasota for fun times:) Would definitely stay again.
