An urban oasis! Talk about the best of both worlds: 1) In the downtown core with restaurants & retail in at the end of the block in either direction. Selby Gardens, the Sarasota Bayfront, Main Street and the Ringling Bridge to Lido Key Beach are also short walks. 2) The condo is in a beautifully shaded community on the Hudson Bayou with boat docks. There’s also a kayak launch, swimming pool, gas grill and a pedestrian bridge directly into the Laurel Park Historic District. The condo itself is bathed in natural lighting on either end with large windows and hurricane-proof sliders leading out to two separate decks. Plexiglass half-walls on the decks allows unobstructed views of the pool and bayou. Wood-burning fireplace, walk-in closet, bar area off living room with refrigerator/freezer, large storage room in attached car port. Upgrades throughout including newer AC, water heater, appliances–and pull-out custom shelving in the kitchen with soft-close cabinets. Rare to find this lifestyle in the downtown core at this price with a first-floor unit!
