DescriptionFinal price drop! High & dry! Cheapest home for sale in indian beach sapphire shores! No flood insurance required! Rare pecky cypress jewel box bungalow with cedar interior/metal roof on botanical garden like double lot in historic indian beach sapphire shores neighborhood. Two blocks to indian beach park on beautiful sarasota bay for swimming, sunsets or to drop in your kayak. Newer homes do not have this level of materials/craftsmanship. Unique 84 yr old home has no drywall: exterior is old growth rough hewn pecky cypress , walls are old growth cedar (hence the very light wonderful scent when you first walk in) and floors/ceiling are southern pine.

Recent $5k fire place renovation. Convenient 1 hour drive to tampa/st. Pete. Why pecky cypress? Distinctive aesthetic: it has natural, irregular pocketing or hollow streaks caused by a fungus that attacks the trees heartwood. This creates a weathered, textured look that gives homes a warm, old world character; durability & rot resistance cypress is naturally resistant to rot, moisture, and insects (especially ants/termites/spiders/cockroaches due to natural oils and resins), making it ideal for humid or wet environments like fl; because of its resistance to decay, pecky cypress requires less upkeep compared to other wood types; it has unique, high end appeal its not mass produced like other woods, so it adds a custom, one of a kind touch to homes, making them feel more luxurious and distinctive. Why is it called a jewel box? The term is used to describe small, charming cottages that, despite their modest size, are rich in character and aesthetic appeal. Pecky cypress is dry and resistant to rot, making it an unfavorable environment. Because of these qualities, pecky cypress was historically used for high quality homes built from the 1800s to 1950s. Parcel is approx. 15' above sea level and home is elevated 2 feet off the ground. There are 60+ stands of kanapaha (aka wong chuk or royal) bamboo as wind breaks to protect home.
