Welcome to DeSoto Place – a land-owned 55+ community in the heart of Sarasota. This beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated 1958 vintage mobile home offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and convenience. Situated on a large lot with approved plans for a hedge between the home and the road, the setting provides both space and future privacy options.

Inside, you’ll find a warm and welcoming 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout with updated plumbing and flooring, an inside laundry, and a cozy, comfortable feel that makes this home easy to love. The enclosed lanai adds valuable living space, perfect for relaxing or entertaining year-round.

Outside features are equally impressive, including a carport accommodating up to three vehicles, a shed with electric, and hanging ferns along the carport supported by irrigation, adding charm and curb appeal. The home has been well cared for, maintaining its vintage integrity while offering modern comforts.

Located just minutes from Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, shopping, dining, and medical facilities, this home is ideally positioned for both seasonal and full-time living. DeSoto Place residents enjoy access to a clubhouse, swimming pool, shuffleboard courts, and an active community atmosphere.
