2546 Loma Linda St, Sarasota, FL 34239

Description

Classic Sarasota character meets a fresh, modern lifestyle at 2546 Loma Linda Street, where an original Amish-built Craftsman has been thoughtfully reimagined and expanded with a new two-story guest house and private swimming pool. Rich in architectural charm yet completely updated for today, this turnkey furnished, inviting property offers exceptional flexibility for everyday living, hosting family and friends, working from home, or creating a private retreat—all in a convenient in-town Sarasota location.
Inside the main residence, original character is complemented by an extensive transformation that feels bright, cohesive, and move-in ready. Luxury vinyl plank floors extend throughout, while newly finished walls and closets, contemporary interior doors and moldings, fresh paint, updated bathrooms, and abundant PVC windows bring a clean, modern sensibility to the home. Original Craftsman details remain part of its personality, including built-ins, graceful arched openings, a fireplace, and a light-filled sunroom.
The open design creates long sightlines through the main living spaces, giving the home a surprisingly spacious feel. The living room centers around the fireplace and flows naturally into a beautifully redesigned kitchen finished with quartz countertops, crisp shaker-style cabinetry, all-white appliances, a herringbone tile backsplash, breakfast bar, pantry storage, and generous workspace. Beyond, the charming dining room is surrounded by windows, creating a sunlit setting for morning coffee, casual meals, and entertaining.
The primary bedroom now enjoys the privacy of a newly created en-suite bath, while the second bedroom also has convenient access to its own bathroom. Together, the two-bedroom layout provides comfortable separation and privacy while retaining the intimate scale and character that make the home so appealing.
The transformation continues outdoors. Completed in 2025, the detached two-story guest house significantly expands the possibilities of the property. The first level offers its own living area and galley kitchenette, while upstairs, a bedroom suite with a brand-new bath and loft-style flex space creates a private environment for guests, extended stays, a home office, studio, or additional recreational space. Its handsome barn-inspired architecture and natural wood doors bring another layer of character to the property.
Also completed in 2025, the private swimming pool creates a relaxed backyard retreat framed by tropical landscaping. A shallow sun shelf invites afternoons in the water, while adjacent outdoor seating and dining areas provide space to unwind or entertain. The main residence and guest house come together around this private outdoor setting, giving the property the feel of a secluded Sarasota compound.
Additional improvements include new A/C systems, PVC windows, water heater, landscaping, and exterior doors in 2023. The roof on both the main and guest residences were replaced in 2024.
Beyond the property, the location puts some of Sarasota's best experiences within easy reach. Enjoy convenient access to Downtown Sarasota, neighborhood parks and recreation, shopping and dining, Sarasota’s bayfront, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Marina Jack, and the arts and cultural venues of the city center. Southside Village and Sarasota Memorial Hospital are also nearby, while the white sands of Siesta Key Beach, Lido Key and St. Armands Circle are just a short drive away.
