After a total transformation and update to meet improved building and hurricane regulations, The 101 Condominiums emerged as an outstanding choice in Downtown Sarasota. This fantastic location offers unmatched convenience for everything you need. You know you have found something special from the moment you set foot in the area. A bright and inviting lobby sets the tone for the exceptional quality found throughout the building. The updates in this residence are impressive and make a similar statement. It provides lovely city views of South Palm Ave during the day and sparkling city lights at night from its 10th-floor location. The two-bedroom, two-bath floor plan includes a private covered balcony, hurricane windows, and doors for added peace of mind. The modern kitchen boasts granite countertops, high-quality cabinetry with built-in pantry storage, and recessed lighting. The customary package of stainless-steel appliances remains. The breakfast bar overlooks a spacious great room with areas for both living and dining. Lovely luxury vinyl plank flooring can be found in most rooms. The primary suite has a walk-in closet and an updated personal bathroom. The guest quarters have another upgraded bathroom and a secondary bedroom, complete with a convenient laundry closet with a Bosch washer/dryer. There is attached garage parking for one car, though you might find it unnecessary as everything you need is a short distance. The newer A/C system and water heater are bonuses. Building amenities include a heated swimming pool, a sun patio, a fully equipped fitness center, a mailroom, a club kitchen with social spaces, and a studio room for dance, yoga, and other fitness activities. Across from Sarasota Bay, the city marina and waterfront park, it is in the heart of a vibrant area filled with excellent restaurants, shops, and art galleries. The Opera House is just around the corner, and the Cinema Arts Theater is down the street. It is only five minutes from the chic St. Armand's Circle and the scenic Lido Beach. Consider yourself truly fortunate to have discovered this wonderful residence. Please note the furniture is negotiable if interested.
