Welcome to Casa de Flores, a one-of-a-kind, Spanish Revival estate nestled in the coveted, west of the trail, Granada neighborhood. Built in the 1920s, this beautifully restored residence includes a main home with two bedrooms and two baths, plus two separate guest cottages. The pool house cottage offers two-story living with a private balcony overlooking the pool courtyard, evoking the charm of a secluded European inn—perfect for quiet mornings or relaxing evenings. The first level features a bedroom, and convenient laundry access. Upstairs, a bedroom and a full-service kitchen with dining area. The second guest cottage includes a bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, and a comfortable sitting area with views of the courtyard. These detached spaces are ideal for hosting in-laws, college or guests, and also work beautifully as a private home office, art studio, or creative retreat. At the heart of the main house is a thoughtfully updated chef’s kitchen with a 6-burner Dacor gas stove, double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and beautiful tile accents—designed to inspire culinary creativity. The home also offers a formal dining room, a comfortable family room, and a welcoming front living room. The primary bedroom is large enough for a king-sized bed, includes a walk-in closet, and has a separate sitting area or reading nook, currently adorned with a daybed. Architectural details such as a hand-carved wood door, a charming clawfoot bathtub, original parquet and tile floors, arched doorways, textured plaster walls, and built-in bookcases all contribute to the home’s Spanish Mediterranean character, blending old-world warmth with modern comfort. Outdoors, a charming front patio sets the tone for relaxed Florida living, while the private walled courtyard is a resort-like retreat with a heated pool and spa, lush tropical landscaping, and a trellis ideal for shaded dining. Ample parking ensures effortless hosting for family and friends. Roofs were replaced in 2021, and additional features such as a whole-house generator and hurricane shutters provide peace of mind for year-round living or seasonal enjoyment. Whether you envision a forever home, multi-generational compound, flexible live/work setup, or a high-performing Airbnb, Casa de Flores offers unmatched character and lifestyle versatility. With its prime location just minutes from world-renowned Siesta Key Beach and the charming boutiques and dining spots of Southside Village, you’ll enjoy the best of Sarasota’s coastal living.
