Description

Love the idea of living downtown, but not quite ready for condo life? At Library Mews, you can enjoy everything you love about downtown Sarasota without giving up the privacy, character, and everyday comforts of a home. Tucked behind the gates of an intimate enclave of just 11 townhomes, this distinctive residence delivers walkable urban living with a surprisingly quiet, peaceful atmosphere.Imagine morning coffee in your private brick-paved courtyard before strolling to the Saturday Farmers Market, Whole Foods, Starbucks, or a favorite neighborhood café. Explore boutiques and galleries, catch a performance at the Opera House or Florida Studio Theatre, or head toward Sarasota Bay for a sunset walk. Restaurants, culture, entertainment, and everyday conveniences aren't places you have to drive to. They're part of your neighborhood. And when you're ready to unwind, you return to the comfort of your own private retreat.Inside, 1,721 square feet lives more like a home than a typical condominium. Soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and oversized south-facing windows flood the main living areas with natural light. A gas fireplace adds warmth and character, while the thoughtfully defined living and dining spaces create an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and views of the courtyard, connecting indoor comfort with outdoor charm.Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathroom, providing privacy for owners and guests. The primary suite features a vaulted ceiling, spacious walk-in closet, and Juliet balcony overlooking the city. The guest bedroom includes a charming office nook, ideal for remote work, or a dedicated space of your own. A separate elevated brick terrace offers another outdoor escape, perfect for reading, container gardening, or relaxing beneath the evening sky. Two distinct outdoor spaces make this residence feel especially livable.Practical advantages are just as compelling. An attached private garage lets you park directly at home, while a second deeded, covered parking space, available to only four Library Mews residences, offers rare flexibility downtown. Keep a second vehicle, welcome visiting family, or simply enjoy the convenience. Timeless finishes, a new water heater, impact-rated second-level windows and doors, and recent community improvements including roof and skylight replacement, exterior painting, new awnings, and lighting add to the appeal. Association-maintained exteriors and grounds mean less upkeep and more time to enjoy Sarasota.There's a longer-term advantage as well. Low-density townhome enclaves like Library Mews are increasingly difficult to recreate in a downtown market where new construction tends toward larger, higher-density buildings. That scarcity, combined with a walkable address and the privacy of a home, creates a distinctive ownership opportunity with potential for long-term appreciation. A 30-day minimum lease period also allows flexibility for monthly, seasonal, or annual income opportunities, subject to association requirements. Enjoy it yourself, make it a seasonal getaway, or explore its potential as an income-producing asset.Whether downsizing, relocating, seeking a lock-and-leave seasonal retreat, or considering a downtown investment, you don't have to choose between convenience and the feeling of home. At Library Mews, you can have both.
