About this home
Virtually Staged. Step into the timeless character and charm of this beautiful 1940s home in highly sought-after Avondale, ideally situated West of the Trail on a corner lot. Thoughtfully designed for both comfortable everyday living and entertaining, this distinctive residence blends classic architectural details with bright, inviting spaces and wonderful indoor-outdoor connections. The spacious living room welcomes you with high ceilings and oversized windows that fill the room with Florida sunshine. French doors open to the side-yard patio and screened lanai, creating an effortless flow to the outdoors. Just off the living room, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a vaulted wood ceiling, ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and sliding doors opening directly to the screened lanai. The dining room is full of character, featuring a fireplace, mirrored accent wall, arched pass-through to the kitchen, and French doors leading to the charming front porch. The bright eat-in kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, abundant windows, and French doors providing easy access to the backyard. A split floor plan places two additional bedrooms and the main bathroom down the hallway, offering privacy and flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. A convenient laundry closet is also located off the hallway. Outside, mature landscaping, lush foliage, and established trees create a private and welcoming setting. Large palms frame the front entry, while brick walkways add to the home's distinctive curb appeal. The walled backyard provides a wonderful sense of privacy, and a unique wine-bottle sculpture commissioned by a local artist adds an unexpected touch of artistry at the front corner of the property. The location is exceptional, placing you close to Selby Gardens, Burns Court, Towles Court, Island Park, downtown Sarasota, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Payne Park and its skating park, Ed Smith Stadium, Southside Village, and an abundance of restaurants, shops, cultural attractions, and everyday services. And when it's time for a beach day, the white sands of Siesta Key and Lido Key are just 15 minutes away. Surrounded by beautiful foliage, mature trees, and neighborhood homes with individuality and character, this special Avondale property offers the opportunity to enjoy the best of Sarasota's historic charm, vibrant lifestyle, and quintessential Florida living.

Estimate the monthly payment
Estimate by Lasbury Tracy Realty — not a loan offerStarting figures for 1800 ALTA VISTA ST. Everything below is editable.
AssumptionNot a quoted rate. Ask a lender what you actually qualify for today.
From this listingThe seller's most recent annual tax bill as reported to the MLS. Your bill will differ — Florida reassesses on sale and homestead caps reset.
Editable estimateA placeholder, not a quote. On the Gulf Coast this is the line item most likely to be wrong: premiums swing on roof age, wind mitigation, elevation, and carrier appetite. Get a real quote before you rely on this number.
Starts at $0Deliberately zero until you enter a figure — we will not inflate a payment with a guess. Many homes here need it; ask us for the property's flood zone and the current policy's premium.
Include condo, HOA, and master-association dues. CDD assessments usually arrive on the tax bill instead.
AssumptionNot applied — your down payment is 20% or more.
