Perfectly situated in the heart of the city, yet tucked away on the tranquil Hudson Bayou, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence blends modern style with low-maintenance convenience in a prime walkable location. Polished concrete floors, impact windows and sliders, LED ceiling fans and lights, plus an open-concept layout create a clean, modern aesthetic throughout (all updated since 2020).

A second bedroom and updated bath provide comfortable space for guests or a home office. Bonus: in-unit Bosch washer and dryer. Bayou House offers assigned parking plus guest parking space, on-site storage, and a private community dock ideal for launching a paddleboard or kayak right into the Bayou, just strokes from Sarasota Bay. HOA fees include water, trash, sewer, cable, landscaping, and flood insurance for true lock-and-leave ease. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a vacation escape, all of downtown Sarasota is at your doorstep. Walk to Selby Gardens, the Bayfront, Marina Jack, Burns Court, galleries, boutique shopping, fine dining, and cozy cafes. Just minutes to Lido Beach, St. Armands Circle and Siesta Key.
