About this home
2480 ALAMEDA AVENUE
Located within Sarasota city limits in the Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores neighborhood, 2480 Alameda Ave offers a beautifully remodeled, move-in ready home with real flexibility for how you use it. This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home was completely remodeled starting in 2021 with all-new plumbing, updated HVAC, new flooring, a reimagined kitchen, and fully remodeled bathrooms. The open floor plan is warm and inviting, featuring a custom fireplace with mantle, quartz counters, wood cabinetry, and a pantry off the kitchen leading to a dedicated laundry room. Outside, a saltwater pool and paver patio added in 2025 create a private oasis perfect for full-time living or generating exceptional rental income. A separate detached structure on the property opens the door to even more possibilities — artist studio, home office, she-shed, or additional guest accommodations. Already a proven rental performer before the pool was added, this property is primed for even stronger returns. Live here full time, rent it seasonally, or lease it annually — the choice is yours. Minutes to Downtown Sarasota, St. Armand's Circle, and Sarasota's famous Gulf beaches.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.

The edgeAI estimate is a starting point, not an appraisal or a broker price opinion. It is generated from public records, listing data and market modeling, and is subject to change once a licensed real estate professional personally inspects the property.
