[Go to https://youtu.be/lHyBaNzdT_w for a video tour of the property]The Bryson-Crane House is located in the quiet cultural center of the Museum District of Sarasota, just 3 blocks from the Asolo Theater, but still only five minutes to the amenities of downtown Sarasota. On the National Register of Historic Places, this 1925 residence has anchored both the Sarasota Historical Home and Garden tours.This home offers an elegant but eminently comfortable alternative to crowded condominiums. It includes upscale amenities, extensive gardens, and myriad opportunities for entertaining.This is not a business rental property, but a private home available for limited times when the owners travel. As such, it offers amenities and finishes unique in Sarasota seasonal leases.While we will consider applications, our preferred tenant is a mature couple, seeking a different experience to sterile vacation rentals and willing to commit to an extended rental term. Pets are acceptable on approval, as are temporary visitors. Thank you for your understanding of the unique requirements of this property.Amid a full acre of stunning gardens, the property has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths between the main house and guest cottage.The main house has two dining areas for casual and formal dining, music room, formal living room, large media room, a cozy conversation area, and a chef’s kitchen, and offers two bedrooms with en-suite baths.The guest cottage has a full kitchen, en-suite bath, living area, dining nook, & queen 4-poster bed.The grounds host multiple seating and entertainment areas, private bricked courtyards, and a comfortable copper-screened porch adjoining a grilling area. There is a large exterior pool and a full sized bocce court.The main house, pool house, garage and gardens comprise a secure walled and gated compound with complete privacy from the street.There is a two-car free-standing garage (one bay available) and a series of 4 driveways with pavers for convenient off-street parking.The home is furnished in a mixture of antiques and current furnishings, with original art and custom area rugs. It includes Lenox and Gorham china and crystal, a Reed & Barton luncheon set, as well as everyday dishes. Linens are by Ralph Lauren. The master bedroom has a king size sleigh bed with dual Casper Hybrid memory foam adjustable mattress systems. The media room includes a large screen television, and additional televisions are downstairs and in the guest cottage. High speed wifi is available throughout all areas. The laundry area houses large sized, front loading Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer.The Bryson-Crane residence is a premier historic property of the Sarasota Museum District. Originally the private home of the business partner of John Ringing, it served as the model home for Ringling’s Sapphire Shores development, with its wide boulevards and the signature banyan trees gifted by Thomas Edison. This home was the center of Ringling’s close circle of social and business associates, frequently hosting John and Mabel as guests.Designed by the same architect John Ringling chose for the exquisite Ca d’Zan, Dwight James Baum, the Bryson-Crane House is a centerpiece of the “Little Five Points” area of the Sarasota Museum District, the artistic and architecturally unparalleled ‘West of Trail” neighborhood surrounding the Asolo Theater, Ca d’Zan, and the Ringling Museum of Art.The Indian Beach – Sapphire Shores neighborhood is a mix of historic and modern homes, widely known for its friendly and artistic character. Shaded sidewalks lead to the Museum area and to a pristine, pet-friendly bay front park.Our ten minute walk through video (photo 3 of 22 when opened) includes all interior and exterior areas.
