Historic Cottage in Downtown Sarasota

This 1937 home, called the Doll House, was used by the Ringling Circus for performers. Rumor has it that the Doll Family, famous for playing munchkins in the Wizard of Oz, lived here.

This recently renovated tiny home has maintained the old charm while adding modern amenities. Enjoy 2 beds/2 baths, central AC, electric fireplace, outdoor seating, office space, and Tesla charger. Note: This home is a two unit home, with the current listing occupying the front unit and front yard. The back unit and back yard are occupied by another unit.

This home is located within historic Laurel Park, a neighborhood of single family homes and apartment buildings, adjacent to the heart of the City of Sarasota. This highly sought-after community with its friendly neighbors has access to a kayak launch and is within short walk to the city's downtown district. Oh, and yes, there is an actual park, Laurel Park, located within the namesake neighborhood. This house is conveniently: 3 min drive downtown, 10 min airport, 15 min beach, and 2 min kayak launch.

With few commercial structures, but easy access to restaurants, shops, and parks, Laurel Park is the urbanist ideal of a walkable community (score of 88 out of 100). Highlights of the walkable attractions include: Payne Park, Selby Gardens, and Sarasota Art Museum.
