About the property

Ranch-Style 3BR Home on a 0.33-Acre Lot in Bee Ridge

A standout feature of this Bee Ridge property is the generous 0.33-acre lot (14,270 sq ft) with roughly 100 feet of frontage on Theodore Avenue. The parcel’s scale is uncommon for the immediate neighborhood and supports options for outdoor expansion, landscaping projects, or accessory development subject to RSF2 zoning permissions. The street-facing lot sits on level topography with driveway parking for two vehicles and municipal utilities in place.

The house itself is a one-story ranch built in 1958, offering approximately 963 square feet of living space laid out as three bedrooms and one bathroom. Documented interior details include original hardwood floors, central heating and central air conditioning, and wood-frame construction under a shingle roof. The home’s condition is listed as average, and the property lacks an attached garage. The single-bath layout and vintage systems are identified as items to verify during due diligence.

Ownership and recent history are straightforward: the property was purchased in 2025 and is owner-occupied according to tax and mailing records. The assessor shows a 2025 assessed value of $188,800 and the most recent arm’s-length sale recorded on August 26, 2025, at $140,000. A sales-comparison valuation range derived from nearby transactions places current market value estimates above the assessed figure; this gap is highlighted as an opportunity for value-add through updates and targeted renovations.

Context matters in Bee Ridge. The neighborhood combines residential streets with nearby retail corridors and community amenities. Highly rated public schools are within close proximity, and local anchors include Bee Ridge Park, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and a short drive to Siesta Key Beach. For buyers or investors considering renovation or small-scale development, the lot size, RSF2 zoning (which allows accessory dwelling units), and neighborhood appreciation trends make this property worthy of deeper feasibility work and a thorough inspection.
