This property is zoned OPI (Office Professional Institutional) and is a historical site. It is a stand-alone building, so you will have 24 hour access. This rent rate includes property taxes, property insurance, and roof maintenance (gross modified lease, not a NNN lease).
This is a unique commercial opportunity! It would be a perfect fit for a small "privately-owned" business, a start-up business, light medical, or any business that wants to have a "comfort-of-home" atmosphere for their line of work, as this was originally a HOUSE, owned by Arthur T. Nelson, now designated a historical site. There is AMPLE parking and a wheelchair entrance for your business needs. You will collect business from the Swift Road signage. The location is perfectly central Sarasota at Swift (aka Tuttle) and just south of Bee Ridge. Once inside you will feel like home! The decorative fireplace will add to the ambiance! Most of the building is actual hardwood floors. It is composed of an entrance foyer, reception area with kitchenette, a central "comfort room", and 3 separated office rooms of which 2 have closets, and a 1/2 bathroom. This will comfortably suit a business with 4 office staff, 1 in each room, or up to 6 office staff if 2 share a room.
Please note a few things about this property that are important contingencies:
1) There is a 4th separated room that is reserved for the owner's sole use, which will need to gain access at will to the building, but not disturb you in any way. The approximate usage will be for roughly 4 hours a month. The owner may use the bathroom for these hours, if needed. You are only renting 961 ft2 of the 1025 ft2 total.
2) The parking lot is shared by the neighboring tenant, currently A Bond Of Love Adoption Agency. Swift Road business signage is a shared mural.
