Looking for a downtown experience in a smaller format? Wait until you see how large this 1 bed/bath condo lives! The France Carlton Condominium is a beautiful 1924 Mediterranean Revival, 20-unit, 3-story walk-up that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. What makes them particularly charming and unique is that instead of being “open” plan, this one-bedroom unit has 6 distinct rooms, plus a walk-in storage room — all with windows. Located on a quiet block of Palm Avenue, Sarasota’s historic setting for posh boutiques and galleries, the France Carlton is exceptionally well-located for the convenient enjoyment of the arts, dining, shopping, and the marina. Its same-block neighbors are two of the very best restaurants in town, Sage and Cas’Antica (who both also occupy beautiful, historic 1920’s buildings), and the 5 live theatres of Florida Studio Theatre. The Sarasota Opera House is one block away, and Whole Foods market is just two blocks further. Over a dozen other restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, as is a large, beautiful marina and several luxury hotels such as the Ritz-Carlton and Art Ovation. And just a 20-minute walk down Palm Avenue are the enchanting Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. For all these reasons, the uniquely special Frances Carlton makes for a truly charming home in a beautiful vintage building from the Jazz Age — or the very best European-style pied-à-terre in Sarasota.
