Rare opportunity to own a historic 1924 Mediterranean Revival home with detached guest house in Nokomis’ East Historic District. Properties offering a separate guest residence are uncommon among historic Nokomis homes, creating a flexible compound-style setting for extended family, visiting guests, remote work or potential rental use. Designed in 1924 by architect Thomas Reed Martin for Dr. Fred Albee, the William Parsons House reflects a defining period of early Venice-Nokomis residential development and Mediterranean Revival architecture along Florida’s Gulf Coast. Listed in the Sarasota County Register of Historic Places, the William Parsons House preserves the craftsmanship and architectural character of the era. Positioned across from Pocono Trail Preserve in the East Nokomis Historic District, the property includes a main residence and detached guest house totaling 2, 033 square feet under roof. Together, the main residence and detached guest house create a rare historic compound setting within the district. The guest house provides a private second living space, offering flexibility for extended family, visiting guests, remote work or potential income-producing use. Inside the William Parsons House, original heart pine flooring, Saltillo terra cotta tile, vaulted ceilings and a masonry fireplace highlight the home’s historic craftsmanship. The kitchen blends thoughtful modern updates with custom-crafted cabinetry inspired by the home’s 1930s heritage, including select KitchenAid cabinetry and salvaged etched-glass heron inserts that complement the period aesthetic. Unlike many historic homes in Nokomis, the residence carries RMF Residential Multifamily zoning, providing additional flexibility for multigenerational living or long-term rental opportunities. Located minutes from Nokomis Beach, Venice Beach and Venice Island and within walking or biking distance of the Legacy Trail, the home offers convenient access to the Gulf Coast lifestyle while remaining connected to the area’s historic character. For buyers seeking a historic Nokomis residence with architectural pedigree, guest accommodations and ties to Dr. Fred Albee’s early development vision, opportunities such as this are increasingly rare along the Nokomis and Venice coast.
