This one-of-a-kind property located in the heart of downtown Sarasota features not one, but two unique homes designed in the style of a boathouse and a lighthouse, respectively. This is truly a rare opportunity to own a magical piece of history. The Historically designated Boathouse and Lighthouse were built in 1933 for Arthur Rowe, yacht captain to influential Sarasota businessmen, John Ringling and William Selby. The homes were built by Oliver Blackburn, a well-known boat builder of the era. Rowe ran away from home as a teenager to become a sailor, and was eventually hired by Ringling in 1910 to captain his luxury boat, Arvida. He captained for Ringling until 1921 and later for Selby before retiring to his dream home — a livable boat built on land.
