About this home
New Price- for this PRISTINE residence on Central Ave, a rare opportunity to live at the HEART of downtown Sarasota while enjoying the calm, privacy, and personal service of a boutique luxury building, only 49 units. A quality of life can be found at the residence 15A Plaza Five Points. Plan to visit; this residence is located in the city’s historic "Five Points"—long recognized as the cultural and social crossroads of downtown—this address is adjacent to the park, the bayfront, library, theaters, nearby galleries, restaurants, breakfast stops, the farmers markets, Whole Foods, and signature Sarasota events at the Opra House all just steps from your door. See our photos. This 15th-floor residence provides city views and is a healthy 1,595 square feet. This offering includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a well-appointed kitchen with European-style wood cabinetry that delivers a clean, warm, modern look, paired with consistent, full-height cabinet runs that signal storage, symmetry, and design discipline. An efficient open layout and higher elevated city views from the corner lanai. The floor plan balances interior openness with privacy; see the 3D plan in the photo display. This offering is ideal for full-time living or a refined lock-and-leave retreat. Secure parking and dedicated storage enhance day-to-day convenience. Plaza Five Points is intentionally uniquely different. AGAIN, only 49 residences, the building offers a quiet, uncrowded atmosphere rarely found in downtown high-rises. Residents frequently note the sense of calm, privacy, and personal service while still enjoying an active, welcoming community. An added benefit is that the building is self-managed, with long-tenured on-site leadership and staff who know the property well, so you can expect consistent care, cleanliness, and service. Amenities are designed for real living: a heated pool with full-sun exposure, a spa, a beautifully updated clubroom overlooking the pool, a full guest suite is available for your visitors with step-out access to the pool area, concierge services, secure package handling, and a well-equipped fitness center. Optional social engagement includes organized gatherings and group outings, while still preserving a respectful, low-key environment. Built in 2005 to modern hurricane standards, Plaza Five Points has long been admired for its construction quality, intimate scale, and enduring appeal. Market appeal reinforces the long-term value of residences at this address—particularly when offered in alignment with market expectations. A rare downtown Sarasota offering where location, culture, privacy, and warmth come together—Residence 15A delivers not just a home, but a lifestyle rooted in connection, walkability, and quiet sophistication.
