Property Description
Located in a charming 16-residence community, this condo offers assigned covered parking, extremely low HOA fees, and minimal taxes—among the lowest in Sarasota. Featuring a smart floor plan with five closets, fresh tropical paint, and new recessed lighting, this light-filled retreat is move-in ready. Large porcelain tile flows throughout, complementing the newly updated kitchen with refinished solid-wood cabinetry, granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a shimmering pearlescent backsplash. A breakfast bar and all-new stainless-steel appliances—including induction range, refrigerator, and dishwasher—enhance everyday living.
The spacious primary suite accommodates a king bed and includes a California-style walk-in closet. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated—one with a cast-iron soaking tub and the other with an oversized tiled shower and stacked washer/dryer. Additional updates include a brand-new HVAC system, four remote-controlled Hunter ceiling fans, plantation shutters on all windows, and impact-resistant film for added peace of mind.
A 12-foot sliding glass door opens to the oversized screened lanai, complete with a motorized Kevlar hurricane shade rated for Category 5 storms. This top-quality system includes a battery backup and remote control, allowing you to use it year-round as a sunshade.
Low $522 monthly HOA fees cover water, sewer, trash, reserves, insurance, landscaping, and exterior maintenance. Professionally managed and fully funded, Mentone Court is solid block construction with a newer tile roof—outside the flood zone and exempt from new Milestone Inspection mandates. Rentals (one week minimum) and pets are allowed.
With a walk score of 92, you're truly in a “Walker's Paradise.” Step outside to Rosemary Court's four restaurants, or stroll just five minutes to Main Street's cafes, boutiques, and weekly Farmers Market. Whole Foods, theaters, and galleries are all nearby. For beach days, Siesta Key is a short drive, or hop on the Siesta/Lido trolley for easy access to Lido Beach every 20 minutes.
Offering new appliances, covered parking, hurricane protection, and the lowest downtown condo dues—Unit #208 checks every box for affordable Sarasota living. Perfect as a primary home, seasonal retreat, or investment, this is downtown Sarasota at its most attainable and convenient.
