Enjoy numerous restaurants and cafes with outdoor dining availability—all within steps of your front door. This handsomely renovated 2nd floor residence offers delicate views of Sarasota Bay through the airy structure of Shady Lady black olive trees lining the street below.

The recent installation of new hurricane impact sliding doors, as well as windows, will provide peace of mind during inclement weather.
