2BR / 1BA — Vacant Block Cottage North of Downtown

Sarasota County · Sarasota (34234)
Starting at $115,000

A vacant block cottage in a Sarasota ZIP where finished small houses clear well past $250,000.

About This Property

A 1,012-square-foot two-bedroom block cottage, vacant and boarded, north of downtown Sarasota. The 34234 ZIP has gentrified unevenly — block by block — which is exactly why the entry price is what it is and why the comparable selection matters more here than in a uniform subdivision.

The structure appears sound in the seller's photographs: masonry walls, a carport and a covered walkway, with the damage concentrated in the roof structure and soffits. Being vacant, it can be worked immediately. Pull your own comps within a few streets before you commit to the exit number.

How It Works

Is this property on the MLS?

No. These are off-market opportunities shared privately with our buyer network before they ever hit the open market — so you avoid bidding wars and retail competition.

Can I walk the property before I offer?

Yes — walkthroughs are by appointment. Reach out and we'll coordinate access or share a walkthrough video where one is available.

What do I need to lock it up?

A signed agreement, proof of funds, and an earnest-money deposit. Cash or hard-money / private financing moves fastest.

Do you have comps and a full numbers breakdown?

ARV and rehab figures on most listings come from the seller, and we label them that way rather than presenting them as our own analysis. Ask, and we will pull county sold comps and underwrite the deal with you before you make an offer. On some listings that work is already done.

How quickly can we close?

As fast as title allows. Quick, clean closings are preferred and often part of securing the best price.
