About This Home
As of October 2023This spacious penthouse unit will dazzle your senses with spectacular views in every direction from the city sunrise to the sunset skies over Sarasota Bay, the Keys, Big Pass, the Gulf and beyond. Floor to ceiling windows flood the main living areas with light throughout the day and enhance that feeling of being above it all surrounded by breath-taking vistas. The impressive great room was created by eliminating the third bedroom and opening the kitchen to provide a relaxed flow for every-day living and entertaining. However, if you so desire, this spacious floor plan could easily be reconfigured to its original design. A 50’ screened balcony spans the east side of the unit with sliding door access from the great room and both bedrooms, offering an airy loft for morning coffee overlooking historic Burns Court or evening cocktails enjoying the city lights. The generous master suite includes ample closets and built-in storage along with a 5-piece sectioned bath. The second bedroom currently serves as a multi-purpose space with a walk-in closet and inviting office niche with a view. Bonus features include the in-unit laundry, 2 secure garage parking spaces and additional personal storage area. Essex House has a heated saltwater pool, gazebo for grilling & outdoor entertaining as well as a fitness center, saunas, workshop room, community spaces and on-site manager. Conveniently located between Palm Avenue and Sarasota Bay. Walk to all that downtown Sarasota has to offer - theater, shops, restaurants, art galleries, Selby Gardens, Burns Court, farmer's market, open-air music venues and more. An exceptional opportunity to live the downtown waterfront lifestyle!
