The Frederickson House – built in 1939 – was designated a historic structure by the City of Sarasota in 1992 (official plaque on house). The home was built by Gustaf and Anna Christina Frederickson. Gustaf Frederickson was a retired Standard Oil Company executive from Illinois.
Own a piece of Sarasota history, this renovated 1939 bungalow in Laurel Park. Meticulously and completely restored in 2022, its historic charm was preserved while adding modern luxury. Originally hand-built from old Florida pine by master craftsmen, this historically designated home underwent extensive renovation including:
- new foundation
- plumbing
- electrical wiring
- HVAC
- roof
- original windows fully restored by artisans from Wood Window Makeover – School of Window Craft
The main house features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a family room, and a sunroom, with the primary suite offering an en suite bath. A professionally designed eat-in kitchen, screened back porch, and water softener system add to the home’s functionality and style.
Enhancing the property is a newly constructed detached two-story accessory dwelling, completed in 2023. Built to hurricane-rated standards, it includes a climate-controlled two-car garage with epoxy floors, an EV charger, a home gym, a workshop, and ample storage. The second-floor one-bedroom, one-bath apartment with a full kitchen and walk-in closet is perfect for guests, a home office, or rental income. Thoughtful details, such as windows trimmed with historic salvaged pine, ensure the addition seamlessly blends with the original home.
Located outside the flood zone, this private retreat is secured by a gated six-foot privacy fence and features a secluded yard and patio. Just blocks from downtown Sarasota, enjoy easy access to top restaurants, the Farmers Market, Selby Gardens, Payne Park, and the Legacy Trail. This is a rare opportunity to own a historically designated home, beautifully restored for modern living.
