Description
Virtually Staged. Exceptional downtown Sarasota value in the heart of the Rosemary District. One of only a few two-bedroom, two-bath residences currently available under $350,000 in the entire downtown Sarasota market, this beautifully updated second-floor corner residence at Mentone Court offers an increasingly rare opportunity to enjoy walkable city living with low ownership costs, short-term rentals allowed, covered parking, and immediate access to Sarasota's dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. Located within the charming Mentone Court community of just 16 residences, this elevated complex sits above the flood plain and includes assigned covered parking for Unit #208. The professionally managed association offers remarkably low HOA fees that include master insurance on the building, water, sewer, trash, landscaping, exterior maintenance, and reserve funding-providing exceptional value and peace of mind. The community is fully funded with no planned special assessments and is exempt from milestone inspection requirements due to its low-rise construction. Inside, the bright and thoughtfully designed layout feels open and spacious with high ceilings, large-format porcelain tile flooring, recessed lighting, and five closets for ample storage. Tropical-inspired paint tones, plantation shutters, and updated finishes create a clean, contemporary atmosphere throughout. The kitchen features refinished solid-wood cabinetry, granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a striking pearlescent subway tile backsplash. Brand-new appliances-including an induction range, dishwasher, and refrigerator-have never been used, while a newer HVAC system and four Hunter remote-control ceiling fans enhance efficiency and comfort. Both bathrooms have been updated, offering a pristine cast-iron tub in one bath and an oversized walk-in shower with classic white subway tile in the other. The spacious primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed and features a California-style walk-in closet. A stacked washer and dryer are also included for added convenience. One of the residence's standout features is the oversized screened lanai, accessed through a 12-foot sliding glass door and protected by a motorized Kevlar storm and sunshade system rated for Category 5 hurricane protection. Complete with battery backup and MagnaTrack technology, the screen also functions as a sunshade for year-round outdoor enjoyment. Mentone Court enjoys a "Walker's Paradise" location with a walkability score of 92. Citrus Square-with multiple restaurants offering outdoor dining-is located less than a block away, while Main Street's cafés, boutiques, Whole Foods, waterfront parks, and downtown Sarasota's cultural attractions are all within easy walking distance. Residents also enjoy close proximity to Payne Park and the Legacy Trail, while nearby Bay Runner trolley access offers convenient transportation to St. Armands Circle, Lido Beach, and South Lido Park. Whether you are searching for a seasonal retreat, investment property, downtown pied-à-terre, or full-time residence, Unit #208 offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy affordable downtown Sarasota living with easy beach access and outstanding walkability.
