850 S Tamiami Tr. #826, Sarasota, FL 34236

This is one of the most in-demand communities in the Sarasota area. Why? It is the best of both worlds: Steps from downtown, the bayfront and restaurants/shops--but then Central Park II includes resort-style amenities to support an active lifestyle! This combination doesn't exist anywhere else in Sarasota in this price range. Imagine being in the epicenter of the "one of the best places to live in the country" (US News & World Report, '21, '22) -- yet have easy access to a pool, hot tub, fitness center, tennis & pickelball court, fishing, kayak launch, a boat dock and storage for bikes and kayaks. This particular unit has a two-floor layout--with a half-bath downstairs and two ensuite bedrooms upstairs. Beautiful porcelain tile on both levels. There are two lanais--and the downstairs one is one of only a handful in the community that has been converted into a "bonus room": tinted windows that provide storm protection and dampen exterior noise. Also new appliances, washer & dryer, air conditioner and water heater. Easy to rent: One-month minimum, twelve times a year and in high demand. Great investment--and a wonderful place in which to live.
