Live affordably downtown! In the heart of the Rosemary District, Unit #107's walkability score of 92 makes it a Walker's Paradise. This first floor, corner two-bedroom, two full-bath condo is in Mentone Court, a charming 16-unit complex. Covered assigned parking is 50 feet away and it comes fully furnished with a 75 Frame TV, leather power recliner couch and most of the furniture and artwork pictured. The lanai leads out to private green space – rare at any price in the city – walk through the front gate walk half a block to four restaurants at beautiful Rosemary Square (see pictures). Whole Foods and the Lido Beach trolley, which leaves every 20 minutes, are within four blocks. Main street is just a five-minute walk. Residence 107 was renovated last year with new plumbing, paint, AC/heat, ceiling fans, modern large format porcelain tile flooring with 5 baseboards and plantation blinds on all windows. Everything is fresh and new. As a corner unit with high ceilings the space is bright and airy. The new Samsung smart (Wi-Fi) appliances include an induction range and ultra quiet dishwasher, never used. Quartz countertops complement solid hickory cabinets with dovetail joinery that won’t delaminate. The backsplash and island are clad with hand-made Moroccan Zellige tile by Cle. Gorgeous designer tile surrounds the oversized guest shower and the primary en-suite bath's shower, which has a 3/8” heavy frameless glass door; both have Kohler Awaken hardware and designer Choreograph shower barres. The included, new high efficiency LG ventless heat pump stacked washer/dryer is ready for your beach towels. An oversize 5'x13' lanai has a storage closet and is protected by a 12' wide motorized roll-down Kevlar storm/sunscreen rated to withstand a Cat. 5 hurricane; its magnetic-track system means no sagging. Mentone Court's block buildings with tile roofs are not in a flood zone and have never any storm damage. Professionally managed, the association dues are only $522/month which funds the reserve and covers master insurance on the structure as well as water, sewer, trash, landscaping and exterior maintenance. The building is under three stories and is exempt from Milestone Inspections, and the community's mandated high reserves are funded through special assessments. One-week minimum rentals and smaller pets are permitted. Unit 107 is a move-in-ready city pied-a-terre, offering the option to live full-time downtown in affordable luxury and walkability to the best of Sarasota.
