    What's special

    Virtually Staged. Own a piece of downtown Sarasota history. Set along iconic Palm Avenue, the Frances Carlton is a 1924 Mediterranean Revival landmark listed on the National Register of HISTORIC Places, placing theaters, galleries, dining, and the marina nearby, while offering a sense of character and permanence rarely found today. This intimate boutique building of just 19 residences is thoughtfully maintained, with FULLY FUNDED RESERVES, completed Structural Integrity Inspection, and amenities including a private pool, garden areas, and gated assigned parking. This FULLY REMODELED second-floor residence has never been lived in since its renovation and offers a clean, modern interpretation of the building’s historic charm. With windows on three sides, a rare feature in condominium living, the home is filled with natural light throughout the day. The layout reflects its European-influenced design, with defined spaces, arched windows, and a sense of proportion setting it apart from more conventional layouts. The bright sunroom extends the living space and overlooks the pool below, ideal as a reading room, office, or quiet retreat. The residence offers one assigned, secured parking space. This is your opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated home in one of Sarasota’s most recognizable historic buildings, in a truly walkable downtown location. Don't let this one get away!
