200 Cocoanut Ave #5

In the heart of downtown Sarasota, the Library Mews enclave is a one of a kind property comprised of just 11 townhome villas that each enjoy their own private courtyard, rooftop garden and private garage. In a city that's largely dominated by high-rise condominiums, Library Mews is a world apart. Blending into the surrounding landscape, it truly is an oasis hidden in plain sight. Tucked into a quiet corner of the city away from the noise, Library Mews is still convenient to all of the downtown amenities. Just two blocks to Whole Foods and Starbucks, across the street from Selby Library, the Opera House, and Florida Studio Theater, Library Mews is only a few minutes walk to Main Street restaurants and shops, the Saturday morning Farmers Market, as well as the Bayfront. Developed in 2000, Library Mews features two-story buildings of masonry construction with barrel-tiled roofs. The community is completely gated with lush landscaping and brick-paved walkways that contribute to the Mediterranean villa ambiance. This residence has been extensively remodeled, increasing ceiling heights, improving the kitchen and bathrooms, and adding a second A/C system that facilitates two separate heating/cooling zones, one for each level. The island kitchen boasts a sub-zero refrigerator, quartz countertops, mother-of-pearl backsplash, and all-drawer cabinetry that includes a pull our spice rack and built-in trash receptacle. The range is an electric smooth top, however, it can easily be swapped out for a gas range. The livingroom, dining room, and kitchen all have glass sliders that bring the outside in and provide easy access to the private courtyard area. The courtyard also has gas service, enabling one to connect a BBQ grill without having to lug propane tanks. The first floor includes a convenient den with custom built-in mahogany shelving and desk. And a powder room and laundry room with loads of extra storage complete the first floor. The owners' suite is light and bright with triple sliders and brazilian cherry hardwood flooring. The walk-in closet has been custom fitted and easily reconfigurable to your needs. The ensuite bathroom in includes a dual quartz vanity, undermount sinks, Toto commode with electric outlet access, a deep soaking bathtub, spacious walk-in frameless shower with seat. The fixtures are Hans-Grohe and include swivel vanity taps and a handheld shower head that can operate together with the main shower head or separately. The guest suite is split from the owners' suite and also includes an ensuite bathroom, making hosting guests a pleasure. In addition to the attached one-car garage, this residence also includes a deeded carport providing space for two vehicles within the gated area. Top it all off with an expansive rooftop private terrace that is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. You'll not only be able to catch some rays, but also indulge your green thumb, and watch the fireworks over the bay. Enjoy the best of both worlds at Library Mews with both downtown convenience and walkability as well as lush expansive private outdoor areas that enable you to enjoy the fabulous Florida weather.
