BREATHTAKING BAYOU HOUSE! Positioned along the peaceful waters of Hudson Bayou, this beautifully updated FIRST-FLOOR residence offers a rare blend of waterfront serenity and walkable proximity to the very best of Downtown Sarasota. From the moment you step inside, the tone is set - a clean, open layout enhanced by tasteful finishes and a natural flow that makes everyday living feel effortless. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring rich cabinetry, sleek QUARTZ countertops, and modern updates that balance both style and functionality. Thoughtfully designed with a SPLIT BEDROOM FLOOR PLAN, the layout provides a sense of privacy and separation - ideal for hosting guests or creating comfortable, independent living spaces within the home. Updated bathrooms, refined flooring, and contemporary lighting carry a cohesive feel throughout, delivering a move-in-ready environment for even the most discerning buyer. Step beyond the living space to your PRIVATE SCREENED LANAI, where one can sit sipping on a cup of their favorite brew whilst taking in the tranquil waterfront setting and serene birdsong. With direct GULF ACCESS via Hudson Bayou, this is more than just a view - it's a lifestyle. Launch a kayak, enjoy the natural surroundings, or simply unwind as the water moves gently past your backyard. A BRAND-NEW TRANE A/C (2024) ensures year-round comfort and efficiency, adding yet another layer of confidence for the next owner. All of this, just minutes from Downtown Sarasota, where you'll find TOP-RATED RESTAURANTS, boutique shopping, art galleries, Marina Jack, Selby Gardens, and the vibrant cultural energy that makes this area so desirable - all while returning home to your own quiet, waterfront retreat. This is the kind of opportunity that rarely presents itself - WATERFRONT, FIRST-FLOOR, MOVE-IN READY, and perfectly positioned.
