5141 SAINT ALBANS AVENUE, Sarasota, FL 34242

Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street, this elevated Siesta Key home sits high and did not flood, offering peace of mind. Set on a nearly 10,000 sq ft lot with mature Live Oaks and tropical landscaping, this property has a lot going for it beyond just charm. It’s a classic Old Florida-style home with vaulted ceilings, warm wood interiors, and an easy, relaxed layout that fits island living perfectly. Whether you want to keep it as a cute, income-producing Airbnb with active bookings, update it over time, or take advantage of the buildable lot value, there’s real flexibility here. With no HOA or deed restrictions, you’re not boxed into one path. The main level offers open living and dining spaces, a functional kitchen with breakfast bar, and a guest bedroom with full bath. Upstairs, the loft-style primary suite gives you a private retreat with its own sitting area, bathroom, and walk-in closet. A screened porch looks out over the greenery, making it an easy spot to unwind. Recent updates include new porch sliders and custom tile shower, and the 2015 A/C keeps things comfortable year-round. There’s also room for a boat, RV, or trailer, which is hard to come by on the island. Just minutes from Siesta Village and the beach, this is one of those properties that works as a rental, a personal getaway, or a future build, with the added benefit of being priced close to land value in a highly desirable area.
