About this property
Barbie Dream Bungalow– Sarasota’s Hidden Gem! 1 Mile to downtown!
Welcome to the Barbie Dream Bungalow – a playful paradise that puts a splash of pink into your next getaway! Nestled in the highly desirable West of Trail area, this charming 3-bedroom, den, and 2-bathroom retreat is just minutes from the heart of Sarasota, Siesta Key’s sugar-sand beaches, and the trendy Southside Village. This home mixes chic upgrades with a touch of retro flair, creating a vacation vibe that’s bright, bold, and absolutely unforgettable.
Inside, you’ll find refinished heart pine floors, a fully updated kitchen, stylish lighting, and cozy nooks for unwinding. The living room invites you in with a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for a relaxing evening, and a built-in bar to add a little sparkle to your stay.
Step outside, and it’s all about leisure! Dine al fresco on the screened lanai or make a splash in the 8-foot-deep saltwater pool surrounded by lush, private gardens. When the sun sets, gather by the cozy fire pit and soak up Sarasota’s laid-back charm. This spot is fully loaded with amenities, from a two-car garage to a washer and dryer for your convenience.
