Waterfront and move-in ready, this beautifully updated first-floor condo offers effortless living in one of downtown Sarasota’s hidden gems – Bayou House. 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). The spacious great room features a wood-beam ceiling detail, sleek track lighting, and large sliders that open to a covered, screened lanai with full-view screen to enjoy calm bayou waters and lush, shaded banks. Fully equipped updated kitchen with soft-close cabinetry, butcher block countertops, subway tile backsplash, LG stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting, and a center island. The primary suite includes direct lanai access, walk-in closet with built-ins, and a stylish ensuite bath with a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower, frameless glass enclosure, and granite countertop vanity. 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.
