Home Details

Own a piece of downtown Sarasota history! Set along iconic Palm Avenue in the heart of downtown Sarasota, the historic Frances Carlton offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city’s architectural and cultural history. Built in 1924 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this Mediterranean Revival landmark is a defining presence in Sarasota’s downtown, placing theaters, galleries, dining, the marina, and daily conveniences just steps from your door, while maintaining a sense of permanence and quiet elegance that has endured for nearly a century. Behind its distinctive pink façade, the Frances Carlton is an intimate boutique condominium of just 20 residences, thoughtfully maintained and known for its enduring construction and careful stewardship. The community is well managed with FULLY FUNDED RESERVES and has completed its Structural Integrity Inspection, reflecting a long standing commitment to preservation, planning, and peace of mind. Amenities include a private pool, landscaped garden and meditation areas, and gated reserved parking. Inside, this beautifully REMODELED one bedroom residence feels more like a small European home than a traditional condominium. The layout offers multiple defined rooms, creating a natural flow, privacy, and character that open plans simply cannot replicate. Windows on three sides fill the home with natural light throughout the day, while original architectural details and thoughtful updates strike a seamless balance between historic charm and modern comfort. The sunroom is a standout feature, framed by graceful arched windows OVERLOOKING PALM AVENUE, with a subtle glimpse toward the water beyond. It is a space equally suited for morning coffee, reading, or quiet reflection, and a reminder of the building’s timeless relationship with its surroundings. The kitchen and living areas have been tastefully updated, preserving the integrity of the home while enhancing everyday functionality. This is a residence for those who appreciate architecture, walkable downtown living, and a sense of place that feels established and enduring. A truly special offering in one of Sarasota’s most admired historic buildings, ideal as a full time home or an elegant pied-à-terre in the cultural heart of the city.
