About This Property

From the moment you enter, there is a quiet drama—an unexpected sense of space, light, and flow created by soaring ceilings and an open, beautifully composed floor plan. It is immediately clear: this is not merely a townhouse, but a singular residence unlike any other within Library Mews or downtown Sarasota. Thoughtfully remodeled and architecturally elevated, this exceptional townhome offers a level of light, finish, and livability rarely found in the city. Positioned along the front row of coveted Library Mews, in the heart of downtown Sarasota, the residence embodies elegance, privacy, and timeless design. Entry is through a private gated courtyard, where a custom wooden door opens to a serene garden patio. Inside, natural light fills the open living spaces. Chiseled-edge travertine flooring flows throughout, creating harmony between luxurious style and everyday comfort. The kitchen and dining areas feature custom cabinetry, recessed lighting, high-end appliances, a gas cooktop, multiple refrigerators, generous counter space, and views of the courtyard garden. The living room is framed by oversized windows with plantation shutters overlooking the downtown library’s vest-pocket green. A distinctive powder room showcases a custom vanity and mosaic accents. Glass sliders from the living room, dining room, and kitchen provide seamless access to the courtyard, enhancing indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with high ceilings, sculpted walls, recessed lighting, and a custom walk-in closet. The spa-inspired bath features an oversized walk-in shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, skylight, and exquisite mosaic tilework. The second bedroom suite includes a sitting area and library alcove with floating shelving, creating an ideal reading retreat. A large picture window and skylit ensuite bath add warmth, comfort, and privacy. Above it all, the expansive walled rooftop terrace offers exceptional privacy and sweeping views of downtown Sarasota, treetops, green spaces, and distant water—an urban sanctuary rarely found in city living. A single-car garage is discreetly accessed through the electronic gate on Cocoanut Avenue. Curated furnishings may be available separately, offering a seamless transition for the next owner. Library Mews is a fully gated enclave of just eleven residences, distinguished by lush landscaping and old Chicago brick walkways that evoke a Mediterranean villa ambiance. Extensive 2025 exterior improvements include a new roof, awnings, landscaping, lighting, and fresh exterior paint. Ideally located in the center of downtown Sarasota, residents enjoy being just steps from Selby Library, Florida Studio Theatre, the Opera House, Main Street dining and shopping, the Farmers Market, Bayfront Park, Whole Foods, and Starbucks. This is more than a home—it is a rare and irreplaceable downtown Sarasota retreat.
