About this home

Completely renovated condominium in a prime waterfront community with an optional boat slip directly outside your door. Sarasota Harbor East is a 55+ maintenance-free community with an exceptional location in Sarasota. Arguably the finest Bayfront views in Sarasota! Minutes from downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, Lido Beach, and just across the street from the Sarasota Yacht Club. This ground-floor unit features two bedrooms, one bath, and a fully glassed porch that offers breathtaking views. The windows and bi-fold sliders are hurricane rated. Each unit comes with a covered carport (this one is directly in front of your door) along with plenty of guest parking. There is a designated area onsite for storing kayaks and bicycles. Boats up to 30 feet are permitted and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. All costs are included in the maintenance fee. The quarterly HOA fee encompasses cable/high-speed internet, water, sewer, trash collection, exterior pest control, and all building/community maintenance expenses. Pets are permitted with valid service or support animal documentation. Turnkey furnished is negotiable.

Local Insight

At $525k for an 820-square-foot unit in a 55+ community, you're paying a premium partly for waterfront access and location on John Ringling Boulevard, but the 1965 construction means you should budget for potential updates and be thorough with inspections—older condos in flood zone AE can have hidden moisture and insurance complications that significantly impact long-term costs. The nearly $1,000 monthly HOA is substantial and worth understanding fully, as waterfront properties typically carry higher maintenance fees for seawall and common area upkeep. The real question is whether the water views and walkable Sarasota Harbor East location justify the price and ongoing costs, especially since you're limited to the 55+ demographic pool if you ever need to sell.
