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.

TOTAL RENOVATION. Live, create and work in Downtown Sarasota's Burns Court Historic District. Originally built in 1926 and thoughtfully designed and reconstructed by Driftwood Build while preserving its architectural character, 410 Burns Court offers residential comfort and flexible studio, office or boutique business potential. The district's 15 Mediterranean Revival bungalows were developed by Owen Burns with designs by Thomas Reed Martin during Sarasota's 1920s boom. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this enclave places Burns Court Cinema, restaurants, galleries and boutiques steps away, with the bayfront and downtown cultural attractions nearby. DTC zoning offers residential, office and retail possibilities, subject to City approval and applicable requirements. The adaptable setting suits creative pursuits, remote work, an owner-user or an investment concept, with potential business or income-producing uses subject to approval. Reconstruction included 15 new pilings, load-bearing beams, floor stringers and subfloor, a ground vapor barrier and crushed-rock base. Reframed interiors feature a redesigned layout, ceilings above nine feet and a 14-foot vaulted kitchen ceiling. Spray-foam insulation encapsulates floors, walls and attic. Improvements include all-new electrical, plumbing and ductwork with linear vents; separate HVAC systems for the residence and casita; hurricane-impact windows and doors; sand-finish stucco; and new downspout scuppers.  The designer kitchen features imported Italian porcelain tile, built-in Bosch appliances, 10-foot custom cabinetry and Carrara marble countertops and backsplash. Italian porcelain tile also finishes the bathrooms. Custom designer lighting, an Italian marble surround framing the original century-old fireplace, engineered hardwood flooring, plantation shutters, custom doors and a new stackable washer and dryer complete the interiors. A private courtyard connects the residence to a fully renovated detached casita of approximately 200 square feet with a full bath. Flexible space accommodates guests, multigenerational living, an artist's studio, writing room or private office, with boutique workspace or rental potential subject to applicable approvals. The property offers two bedrooms and a total of two full bathrooms and one half bath, including one full bathroom and a powder room in the main residence, plus a full bathroom with a shower in the detached casita. Additional improvements include sandblasted Carrara marble entry steps with decorative tile risers and landings, new natural-gas service, an on-demand gas water heater and a courtyard gas connection for grilling. Extensive landscaping, irrigation and landscape lighting enhance the grounds. A new shell-finish concrete driveway and a second driveway provide additional parking. Historic character, modern systems and versatile spaces create a distinctive urban opportunity in one of Sarasota's walkable arts neighborhoods.
