North Sarasota Fix & Flip – 4-Bed Block Home w/ Rehab Upside

N Sarasota – 4-Bed Block Home (Sarasota, FL)

This 1,538 sq ft 4-bed, 1.5-bath single-family home sits on a 7,000–8,900 sq ft lot along N Orange Ave in Sarasota. Built in 1945, the property features block construction, newer roof and AC (both within the last 5 years), and is currently vacant on lockbox.

The home will benefit from cosmetic rehab: a full kitchen replacement, bath updates including converting the half bath into a second full bath, flooring, paint, and fixtures. Exterior improvements—fresh paint, landscaping, and curb appeal—will further enhance resale. Adding the second bath aligns with nearby 3/2 comparables, pushing ARV potential higher.

🔨 Rehab Scope

• Full kitchen replacement
• Update existing bath + convert ½ bath to full
• Some flooring replacement
• Interior & exterior paint
• Landscaping & curb appeal
