Property Description
A rare and soulful architectural treasure tucked within Avondale, one of Sarasota’s most enduring and affluent neighborhoods since the early 1900s. Located at 1917 Bahia Vista Street, this mid-20th-century residence offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a home where timeless design, authentic character, and lush tropical privacy converge. Set on a supremely private, verdant lot, the main residence features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a sun-drenched Florida room that seamlessly blends indoor living with the surrounding gardens. Original hardwood floors, crown molding, and a classic fireplace anchor the home with warmth and historic charm, while expansive windows and plantation shutters bathe each space in natural light. Thoughtfully proportioned living and dining areas create an elegant yet inviting atmosphere—perfect for both intimate gatherings and relaxed everyday living. The kitchen embraces vintage appeal with crisp white cabinetry, contrasting black-and-white tile flooring, and an arched doorway that nods to the home’s architectural heritage. Beyond the interior, the property unfolds into a lush tropical oasis, where a sparkling pool and elevated wood decking are enveloped by mature palms and greenery, offering complete privacy and a true resort-like setting. Adding to the home’s versatility is a detached guesthouse with a kitchen, ideal for hosting family and friends, creating a private home office or studio, or accommodating multigenerational living. The casita mirrors the property’s charm while providing valuable flexibility rarely found in this coveted location. This is more than a home—it’s a special moment. A chance to secure a distinctive Sarasota gem for the buyer who values character, craftsmanship, and mid-century architecture, all just minutes from downtown Sarasota, Southside Village, and world-class beaches. Properties like this rarely come to market—1917 Bahia Vista Street is an invitation to own something truly unforgettable.
