Thoughtfully upgraded and impeccably maintained, this three-level townhome offers a refined take on low-maintenance living in a central Sarasota location, blending modern design with high-end finishes and everyday functionality. Featuring three bedrooms—each with its own private bath—plus an additional powder room, the layout is designed to provide both privacy and flexibility. An in-home residential elevator, installed at construction, connects all levels, enhancing convenience and long-term livability. The open-concept main living level serves as the heart of the home, where kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow seamlessly together. The kitchen has been extensively upgraded with Level 5 Calacatta Alta quartz countertops, cabinetry extended to the ceiling, a designer-wrapped island with added storage, and a Café appliance package with Bosch induction cooktop. A full-height tile backsplash, Hansgrohe professional faucet, and custom pantry shelving further elevate both form and function, while Rev-A-Shelf storage systems maximize efficiency. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a comfortable and well-appointed retreat with a tray ceiling and a custom-designed closet system featuring integrated lighting. The en-suite bath showcases upgraded fixtures and finishes, while all bathrooms throughout the home reflect a cohesive level of quality, including quartz countertops and designer upgrades. Throughout the home, attention to detail is evident in the Mohawk waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring, upgraded lighting with dimmers, premium Sherwin-Williams paint, and enhanced hardware selections. Additional highlights include plantation shutters, custom Graber window treatments, hurricane-rated windows, and a full ADT security system with exterior cameras. The garage is equally well-equipped, featuring a custom storage system, overhead racks, additional lighting, and a secondary refrigerator, offering practical solutions for organization and storage. Beyond the home, the community offers a heated resort-style pool, private dog park, and professionally maintained landscaping, with association-provided insurance contributing to a simplified ownership experience. Ideally positioned near Payne Park—with tennis courts, walking trails, and green space—and providing direct access to the Legacy Trail, the location also offers walkability to downtown Sarasota’s dining, shopping, and cultural amenities, along with a nearby trolley stop for convenient access to the beaches. A well-executed combination of thoughtful upgrades, modern convenience, and a prime Sarasota setting—this residence delivers both comfort and quality in a highly accessible location.
