About 1221 N Palm Ave Unit 303

Step into a piece of Sarasota’s history with this beautifully updated 1-bedroom, 1-bath residence in the iconic Frances Carlton, a 1920s Mediterranean Revival landmark in the heart of downtown Sarasota. As the only unit currently available, this rare offering combines timeless character with modern elegance in a walkable, vibrant location. Inside, you’ll find a space that radiates both sophistication and comfort. Fresh designer paint, artful wallpaper, and sleek recessed lighting set the stage, while subtle Art Deco styling pays tribute to the building’s rich architectural roots. Thoughtful upgrades include Hunter Douglas blackout shades (smartphone controlled), custom closet shelving, and a stacked washer and dryer, blending convenience with style. Enjoy a partial, unobstructed view of Sarasota Bay, offering a gentle reminder of the coastal beauty just beyond your doorstep. Whether starting your day with coffee or winding down in the evening, this unit offers a peaceful retreat within the buzz of city living.

Furniture is negotiable, giving you the flexibility to make the space your own. This one-of-a-kind home is more than just a condo—it’s an opportunity to own a stylish piece of Sarasota’s vibrant legacy, thoughtfully reimagined for modern life.
