Virtually Staged. 2225 Florinda Street — arrival as destination. Pull into the driveway, pass the two car garage and follow a landscaped walkway to arrive at a gracious covered entry; decorative metal screening catches the Florida light accenting the french pattern travertine entry and frames an oversize full glass door. Step inside and the experience unfolds: Large format porcelain tile, 10' ceilings and abundant windows bathing the open plan in natural light. Gulfside Homes, a Sarasota Custom Home builder for over 25 years, crafted this over 2,600 sq ft Calista model showcase with thoughtful and custom upgrades you’ll notice throughout—builtin conveniences, premium appliances and finish selections that read like an owner’s wish list already checked. The main level is made for living and entertaining: an elegant dining area flows to a true gourmet kitchen with gas range, pot filler, LG stainless appliances, microwave drawer and an oversized quartz waterfall island. The family room sits beyond, flooded by light from large windows and glass doors that frame the ivory travertine pool deck and spa. Opposite the island and tucked under the stairs is a purposeful coffee bar and prep station with a deep sink (cuttingboard/dryingrack/colander), coordinated floating shelving, abundant storage and a twozone undercabinet beverage refrigerator—one of the many touches that make daily rituals effortless. Also on the first floor is a flexible, large en-suite guest room whose bath doubles as a powder room and provides direct access to the outdoors and access to the pool—perfect for visitors and carefree pool days. Upstairs the home is arranged for privacy and function: a split bedroom plan placing the primary suite apart from two large secondary bedrooms. The primary is a serene retreat with a spa caliber bath—soaking vessel tub, floor to ceiling Calacatta porcelain shower with double rain heads, dual vanities—and generous closet space. A dedicated laundry on the bedroom level adds convenience. A roomy office/den/media room opens to a covered deck for quiet moments or flexible workspace. Outside is your private Sarasota oasis: 12×24 pool with six person spa, travertine decking and glass waterline tile, pre-plumbed for heating and framed by an 8' fenced yard. Premium systems and Gulfside upgrades that other builders don’t automatically provide—impact windows, underground 500gal propane tank, Rinnai tankless water heater with recirculating system, large format porcelain tile on the main level, waterproof luxury vinyl plank upstairs, timber stairs with stainless cable railing, upgraded lighting and hardware, Ring cameras and low maintenance tropical landscaping—deliver comfort, security and low upkeep. Only blocks to The Landings shopping center with several restaurants, gym, and Publix. Minutes from the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota Art Museum, Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Marina Jack, downtown dining, farmers’ markets, marinas and Siesta Key and gulf beaches, 2225 Florinda is a refined, turnkey Sarasota lifestyle crafted by an experienced custom builder.

Heads up on that tax figure. On new construction, the number in the MLS is often the tax on the bare lot, not the finished home. Expect it to jump once the county reassesses with the house on it. How Florida reassesses new builds

CDD defaults to zero, and that is often wrong.Many Tampa Bay new-construction communities carry a Community Development District assessment of roughly $1,500 to $3,000 a year on top of HOA, and it is rarely included in a builder's payment estimate. Ask whether this address is in a CDD before you budget.
The tax figure in the MLS looks like a bare-lot assessment. It lists $1,570 a year, while taxing this purchase price works out closer to $25,200. On new construction the county reassesses once the house is finished, so budget from the higher number.

Get the real numbers on this homeWhat is negotiable on this home?
Here is what this listing's numbers say about the builder's position.
On the market 143 daysWorth knowing
Past the 90-day mark is where most builders start getting more flexible on concessions, even while holding the published price.
Reduced $50,000 (3%)Worth knowing
Originally listed at $1,500,000. A builder that has already cut once has acknowledged the first number did not work. That is a different conversation than one who has never moved.
Finished and standingWorth knowing
A completed home with a Certificate of Occupancy is inventory, not a future sale. Builders treat standing inventory very differently from a lot they have not broken ground on.
Where builders actually give
Rarely on the published base price. It sets the comp for every unsold home behind this one, and protecting it protects their appraisals. The real room is in closing cost credits, interest rate buydowns, and upgrades moved into the base. Asking for the right one in the right order is most of the job.
