What if you could enjoy everything you love about downtown Sarasota without giving up everything you love about living in a home? Tucked away in Library Mews, an intimate gated enclave of just 11 townhomes, this residence offers a rare combination of walkable urban living, residential privacy, and remarkable value in downtown Sarasota. Imagine starting your morning with coffee in your private, brick-paved courtyard before strolling to the Saturday Farmers Market, Whole Foods, or a neighborhood café. Explore boutiques and galleries, catch a performance at the Opera House or Florida Studio Theatre, or wander toward Sarasota Bay for an evening along the waterfront. Here, the restaurants, arts, entertainment, and conveniences that make downtown so desirable aren't destinations you drive to. They're simply part of your neighborhood. And when you're ready to leave the energy of the city behind, something wonderful happens. You come home to a quiet, peaceful retreat behind the gates of one of downtown's most distinctive residential enclaves. Inside, 1,721 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space feels refreshingly different from the typical condominium. Soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and oversized south-facing windows fill the living areas with natural light. A gas fireplace adds warmth, while defined living and dining spaces provide the proportions and separation that make a residence feel like a home. The kitchen, featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, overlooks the private courtyard. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms each feature an en-suite bathroom, offering privacy for owners and guests. The primary suite boasts a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, and Juliet balcony with city views. The guest suite includes a charming office nook, ideal for working remotely or enjoying a dedicated space away from the main living areas. Outdoor living is equally distinctive. Beyond the private courtyard entrance, a separate, elevated brick terrace offers another inviting place to enjoy Sarasota's weather, whether reading in the sunshine, tending to plants, or unwinding beneath the evening sky. It's the kind of personal outdoor space rarely found in downtown condominium living. Then there's the practicality. An attached private garage offers the convenience of parking directly at home, while a second deeded, covered parking space, available to only four residences in Library Mews, provides an uncommon downtown advantage. Keep a second vehicle, welcome visiting family, or enjoy the flexibility of two protected parking spaces. Timeless architectural details, a new water heater, impact-rated second-level windows and doors, and recent community improvements including a replaced roof and skylights, exterior painting, awnings, and lighting add to the appeal. Association-maintained exteriors and grounds leave more time to enjoy Sarasota. For those downsizing, seeking a seasonal retreat, or relocating to enjoy Sarasota's vibrant downtown, Library Mews offers a compelling alternative to conventional condominium living. Enjoy walkability, convenience, and low-maintenance freedom, along with two levels of living space, two private outdoor retreats, and two covered parking spaces in an intimate residential setting. Why choose between the downtown lifestyle you want and the feeling of home you don't want to lose? At Library Mews, you can have both.
