Imagine Trading Winter for Sarasota - Imagine a January morning when there is no windshield to scrape or heavy coat waiting by the door.

A particularly valuable downtown luxury comes with the residence: two assigned and deeded garage parking spaces (#142, #456 - a large benefit), along with additional storage just down the hall for beach chairs, bicycles, golf clubs and everything that accompanies the Florida lifestyle. Broadway Promenade surrounds you with resort style amenities including a heated pool and spa, fitness center, sauna, library, billiards room, community room, outdoor kitchen and grilling areas, beautifully maintained common spaces, 24 hour concierge service and security.
