2575 Bahia Vista St., Sarasota, FL 34239

Charming vintage bungalow in coveted area bordering the Alta Vista and Arlington Park neighborhoods. If you are looking for a cozy and comfortable home where you can find serenity and ease of living, you have found it. If you are looking for a home that exudes great character, boasting original wood floors, cast-iron farmer’s sink, wood-burning fireplace, unusually spacious light-filled bonus room and details like French doors, bead boarding and crown molding, you have found it. Improvements since 2017 include six impact windows, new privacy fence around entire yard, new carport, replaced front deck and posts, replaced fixtures in baths and kitchen, vanity in small bathroom, new light fixtures/wiring in dining room/bonus room, kitchen and small bathroom, and rain-roof over porch off bedroom. Water heater, washer, dryer, refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and above range microwave are all new since 2017. The property was converted to natural no-grass yard complemented by abundant plantings. Relaxation on the front deck, the side patio or the rear Zen patio is a delight. Valuable bonuses are a storage shed and a detached building with electricity and window air conditioning. With a bit of TLC, this second building could be a splendid artist studio, workshop, or playhouse. No deed restrictions. There is room for a horseshoe driveway in front for more parking. Only three doors west from the Our Y and a few blocks from Arlington Park with its wonderful dog park, aquatic center, tennis, racquetball and indoor gymnasium, this makes exercising convenient. Close to downtown Sarasota, the Westfield Siesta Key Mall, Southside Village, and just a few of miles from Siesta Key and Lido Key beaches, here is a rare opportunity not to be missed.
