1685 LAUREL STREET, #3, Sarasota, FL, 34236 | $849,500

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Just one block from Burns Court and 2 more blocks to Main Street, this beautifully updated three-bedroom, three-bath townhome with loft offers a rare combination of privacy, sophistication, and truly walkable downtown living. Thoughtfully positioned within an intimate community of 9 units, this residence enjoys views of the pool and lush greenery through tall impact casement windows from nearly every room—creating a far more private and serene setting than typically found in downtown living.
Spanning two thoughtfully designed levels, the home blends architectural character with modern comfort and functionality. Recent improvements include new luxury vinyl flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, a new HVAC system, and a new roof, offering both style and peace of mind. The kitchen is designed for everyday ease and entertaining alike, featuring a gas range and complemented by the efficiency of a tankless water heater.
The first floor features a private guest bedroom with a full bath just across the hall—ideal for visitors, a home office, or flexible living needs. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite and additional guest suite each offer ensuite baths, while the loft provides the perfect flex space for a media room, office, fitness area, or reading retreat.
Located within a pet-friendly community, residents enjoy effortless access to acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, galleries, theaters, waterfront parks, marinas and directly adjacent to Laurel Community Park.
The association has recently completed an extensive capital improvement program, significantly enhancing the long-term value and stability of the community while maintaining comparatively low HOA dues. Major completed projects include roof replacement, exterior painting, pool resurfacing with pebble quartz finish, asphalt paving, updated landscaping and irrigation systems, outdoor lighting improvements, garbage enclosure replacement, and continued preventative maintenance. A comprehensive property assessment completed in 2025 confirmed the property’s well-maintained condition and long-life asset profile, with most major systems recently renewed or significantly extended through capital investment.
Additional conveniences include two dedicated parking spaces, access to a community storage room ideal for beach gear and bicycles, and shared outdoor space with room for grilling and entertaining.
Elegant yet comfortable, private yet connected, this impeccably maintained residence captures the essence of refined downtown living in one of Sarasota’s most desirable neighborhoods, Historic Laurel Park.
