About this home
Five fenced acres, a shell driveway, and a home that feels like your own slice of the country — welcome to 1901 Joshua Drive. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home mixes rustic charm with modern updates, including a new metal roof (2020) and tall ceilings that fill the space with light. The primary suite and laundry room are both on the main level. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share a big open landing — perfect as a home office or reading nook, with a window looking out over the property. Outside is where it really shines. The east-facing deck was made for morning coffee and sunrise views over acres framed by old oak trees, with deer, Sand Hill Cranes, and whistling ducks stopping by often. Out front, the porch swing is calling your name. Past the attached 3-car garage sits a separate, oversized detached garage and workshop with three roll-up doors and a vehicle lift. There's also a three-sided shed with two pens and two open stalls for animals, plus landscaped shell parking with room for an RV, boat, and guests. Set in a community with horse trails, this property offers privacy and room to roam, all while staying close to Sarasota's shopping, dining, beaches, and boat ramp. 1901 Joshua Drive is land, lifestyle, and a place worth putting down roots.
