SECOND FLOOR RESIDENCE: Currently leased through March 2026 has a spacious kitchen with Bosch appliances, laundry room, and two ensuite bedrooms. A large partially-covered balcony brings the outdoors in and opens to the great room and large primary suite. Solar panels, currently connected to the second-floor unit, can be switched to power the ground floor if desired. Each of the two residences are attached to the garage and there is a wide interior stairwell and elevator to second floor. This is an unusual opportunity to live and/or invest in Downtown Sarasota’s vibrant neighborhood of Gillespie Park (with dog run and tennis courts), while just steps from the Rosemary Arts District, Downtown restaurants, shops and theaters.
