- Pool
Unit #4 at 1685 Laurel Street is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, two-story townhouse in Sarasota, FL with 1,912 sq ft of living space, built in 2005. It is currently listed at $950,000, with a quarterly HOA fee of $2,550. Highlights include park views and a pool.
Set within The Villas on Laurel, a collection of nine townhome residences in Sarasota's Laurel Park, this home sits beneath the oak canopy and along the original brick streets of one of the city's National Register historic districts. The neighborhood's namesake park is next door, and Burns Court, Main Street, and Selby Gardens are all within walking distance. The major updates are already done. The roof is one year old, and the air conditioning is two years old. A tankless gas water heater and impact windows are also in place. The main level, stairwell, and loft have fresh paint. Inside, 1,912 square feet across two levels holds three bedrooms and three full baths. Wood floors run through the main living areas, and a row of tall windows fills the open dining and living rooms with natural light. The kitchen centers on a granite island, surrounded by wood cabinetry with crown molding, stainless appliances, a gas range, and pendant lighting. A first-floor bedroom beside a full bath works as a guest suite or a quiet office. Upstairs, the staircase opens to a loft lit by skylights, with a built-in desk and shelving for a home office or library. The primary suite has wood floors, three tall windows framing the palms and a walk-in closet. Its bath pairs a stone dual vanity with a glass walk-in shower set on a pebble-stone floor. A second upstairs bedroom has an en-suite bath, and the laundry room is inside the residence. A heated community pool and two assigned parking spaces complete the picture. Life here moves at an easy pace. The cafés and cinema at Burns Court, the shops and restaurants of Main Street, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, the Bayfront and the Saturday Sarasota Farmers Market are all close at hand. By car, Sarasota Memorial Hospital is about four minutes away, while Lido Key Beach, St. Armands Circle, Sarasota Bradenton International Airport and I-75 are each about fifteen minutes away. More than a townhome, this is a lock-and-leave residence with all of downtown Sarasota within a short walk.
