Exceptional live-work opportunity in downtown Sarasota’s historic Towles Court neighborhood. Downtown Edge zoning allows mixed-use commercial and/or residential dwellings, and City of Sarasota rental regulations allow weekly rentals. Designed and built for visual art activities during the heyday of Towles Court as an artists’ colony, this 1,581-square-foot two-story bungalow is extremely bright and airy. A cupola rises 2.5 stories at the center of the space providing year-round natural light. Christened the Celery Barn, a reference to the original owner’s previous studio location by the Celery Fields, this home was a popular venue for artists and art lovers. The downstairs functions as an art gallery, art studio and workshop space, and the upstairs houses the owner’s living quarters and personal art studio. The first floor also includes a kitchen, powder room, front porch and back porch. A shared parking lot accessed from Morrill Street provides parking for visitors. Towles Court is a hidden gem in downtown Sarasota with artsy Florida bungalows and a lush canopy of mature oak trees. The location provides easy access to lifestyle amenities. Only one block to Payne Park and Payne Park Tennis Center. Two blocks to Main Street. Within one mile of two grocery stores, Bayfront Park, Marina Jacks, Freedom Boat Club, Farmers Market, shopping, dining and a variety of yoga/fitness/wellness studios. Walk to the Sarasota Bay Runner Trolley stop on Main Street for a free ride down Main Street and over the Ringling Bridge to St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach. Love the downtown Sarasota lifestyle!
