Residential Property - Condominium in Sarasota
Listing Price: $850,000
Description of Property
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Tucked inside the historic 1924 Frances Carlton on Palm Avenue, this fully reimagined residence offers something rarely found in downtown Sarasota, the character of a vintage building paired with the comfort of a completely rebuilt interior. Created by combining two residences, the home spans almost 1,600 square feet and lives more like a private apartment than a typical condominium. High ceilings, original arched windows, and defined rooms preserve the architectural charm, while a comprehensive renovation brings the home entirely into the present. You enter directly into a generous, open kitchen, an unexpected feature in a building of this era, designed for daily living and gathering rather than passing through. Custom cabinetry, stone surfaces, Café appliances, and thoughtful lighting create a space that is both refined and welcoming. Plantation shutters throughout soften the natural light while maintaining privacy. The living areas flow naturally toward the sunroom overlooking Palm Avenue, where warm southwest afternoon light fills the space. At the opposite end of the home, the primary suite offers a different experience entirely. Positioned at the rear of the residence, it extends into a second enclosed sunroom overlooking a small garden courtyard. Accessible through the bedroom, this space becomes a quiet retreat, ideal for morning coffee, reading, or a peaceful workspace. The renovation extends well beyond cosmetics. Flooring, kitchen, baths, electrical, plumbing, lighting, and finishes have all been rebuilt, complemented by two new air-conditioning systems and a tankless water heater. The result preserves the building’s architectural soul while providing the reliability of a much newer home. The residence includes in-unit laundry, two assigned secured parking spaces, and access to the community pool within an intimate building of twenty residences. From here, downtown Sarasota is part of everyday life. Florida Studio Theatre, Sarasota Opera, restaurants, cafés, and evening drinks are just one or two blocks away, with the Bayfront and marina a short walk beyond. For those seeking amenities and high-rise living, downtown offers many options. For those seeking charm, history, walkability, and a home that feels genuinely unique, opportunities like this are very rare.
