4734 Delmonte Avenue, Sarasota, FL "” Investor special and fixer-upper on an oversized double lot in a non-deed-restricted Sarasota neighborhood with no HOA. This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home features a dual primary floor plan with two en suite bedrooms, each with a private bath, a bay window living room, and a family room opening to a covered back porch and brick paver patio, plus a covered pavilion that creates a shaded outdoor retreat "” the kind of space that could get used year-round in the Florida climate "” all set behind a wide driveway with paver accents, connected with a breezeway and arched entry. The home also retains several ornamental architectural details "” decorative elements, arched openings, and Mediterranean-influenced touches "” that, with the right restoration effort, could be brought back to life and lean fully into a Spanish Mediterranean aesthetic that suits the Sarasota region beautifully. The property's most compelling asset is a detached accessory structure with its own eat-in kitchen, living area, bedroom with a closet, full bath with a walk-in shower, private back patio, and a separately fenced yard. The building will require a thorough rehab and the addition of climate control before it can function as a guest cottage, rental unit, or additional living space "” but the layout and footprint are already there, making it a strong candidate for the right buyer willing to put in the work. Alternatively, it could be converted back into a garage and workshop or repurposed in a number of other ways, depending on your needs and interests. The double lot provides ample room for a future pool or expanded outdoor living, and the absence of deed restrictions means boats and RVs are welcome on-site with no approvals required. Conveniently located near Longwood Park, Nathan Benderson Park, University Town Center, and the new Mote Marine Aquarium, with quick access to I-75, Sarasota International Airport, Downtown Sarasota, and the Gulf Coast beaches "” this is a property with strong locational fundamentals and significant upside for the right buyer. Offered strictly as-is "” which means what you see is what you get. Ready for a buyer who sees the opportunity. Per county records, the main house is 4-bed / 3-bath / 1,762 sq ft, air-conditioned. The 572 sq ft accessory structure is listed in the MLS both as a 2-car garage and as an in-law suite for search purposes, and is reflected in county records as 2 bed / 1 bath with no A/C "” included in total recorded square footage. Buyers should verify all details independently.
