2375 Bahia Vista Street Sarasota, FL 34239

Some homes are built to impress. This one was built to live in — and it delivers on every level. Constructed in 2022 to current building codes, this island-style elevated stilt home sits in one of Sarasota's most coveted in-town corridors, tucked between the energy of downtown and the calm of the Gulf Coast beaches, with virtually everything you need within a half mile of your front door.
Step inside and the first thing you notice is how right it feels. Luxury vinyl floors run throughout, shaker-style cabinetry lines the kitchen, and stone countertops anchor a fully equipped cooking space outfitted with smart Samsung stainless steel appliances. The living room flows naturally into a dining area and a charming alcove complete with an antique bar cart and built-in desk — equal parts functional and full of character. Smart TVs throughout, an interior Samsung washer and dryer, and all turnkey furnishings included mean you walk in and you're already home.
3 bedrooms and 2 full baths sleep up to 8 comfortably, making the layout as practical for a full-time family as it is for a rotating roster of vacation guests. The metal roof and impact windows provide the kind of peace of mind that's hard to put a price on in Florida, and the elevated stilt-on-concrete-piling construction keeps you above the worry. Under-building carport parking accommodates 2 vehicles with ease.
Out back, a serene tree-lined yard gives you a private exhale after everything the neighborhood has to offer — and the neighborhood has a lot to offer. The gym, medical, and pharmacy are each 0.3 miles away. Coffee and groceries are 0.4 miles out. Gas in 0.6 miles, the movie theater in 1.1. Arlington Park and Aquatic Complex — one of Sarasota's most beloved community anchors — is a short walk. Southside Village, with its independent restaurants and neighborhood charm, is right there. Downtown Sarasota, the Bayfront, the marina, the Sunday Farmers Market, the arts district — all within easy reach. Lido Key and world-famous Siesta Key Beach, with its powdery quartz sand, are a quick drive when the Gulf is calling.
Currently operating as a successful short-term vacation rental, this home offers genuine flexibility — use it as a primary residence, a personal retreat, or continue generating rental income with an already-proven property in an always-in-demand location. In Sarasota, that combination is harder to find than it looks.
