Description of Property
An opportunity to own a piece of local history, this architecturally significant 1924 Mediterranean Revival property was designed by renowned architect Thomas Reed Martin and built by Dr. Fred Albee as part of his early Venice-Nokomis residential development. Listed in the Sarasota County Register of Historic Places, the William Parsons House is on a 0.37-acre corner homesite in the East Nokomis Historic District and includes a primary residence and detached guest cottage totaling 2,033 square feet under roof, with 1,481 square feet under air in the main residence and 552 square feet under air in the guest cottage. Properties of this architectural pedigree and historic designation rarely come to market in this sought-after Nokomis, Florida location. Across from the Pocono Trail Preserve, the property offers approximately 150 feet of frontage along East Pocono Trail. The home welcomes you with a screened front porch that leads into the main residence, which retains original and period-appropriate features, including heart pine flooring in the kitchen, dining area and generously proportioned living room, with Saltillo terra cotta tile in other spaces. A fireplace with finely detailed masonry anchors the living space, adding architectural interest and vintage character. The vintage kitchen blends modern upgrades with early 20th-century design, featuring updated appliances, a walk-in pantry and 1930s-era etched glass cabinetry salvaged from a historic hotel. The layout includes three bedrooms and one bath, with the primary bedroom featuring decorative vaulted ceilings that reflect the home’s Mediterranean influence. The detached guest cottage mirrors the main residence’s historic charm, offering a fireplace with matching decorative detail, one bedroom, a full bath with decorative tile and an open plan living, dining and kitchen area with bamboo flooring. The layout supports a range of residential uses, including a guest residence, home office, private studio or potential rental unit. The home and cottage are surrounded by enchanting outdoor space and a private patio area, ideal for relaxing or entertaining amid mature tropical landscaping. Within short distance are local restaurants, galleries, a yoga studio and Nokomis Community Park, with kayak launch access just blocks away. Go to Legacy Trail, then spend your afternoons at the beaches of Nokomis and Venice, or enjoy the shopping and dining offerings of Venice Island.
