DOWNTOWN LIVING AT ITS FINEST By Kerrie Lehnert Photography by Chad Spencer & Detlev von Kessel
“How can this get any better?” It is downtown living like no other. This exquisitely unique luxury townhome located in Marina Tower amazes you with its panoramic views of downtown Sarasota, Sarasota Bay and the marina. One of the most sought-after locations in Sarasota, it emulates the warmth of a home. The unit is two floors, both with luxurious water front and downtown views located in one of Sarasota’s premiere high rise buildings. The main living floor consists of the living room/ dining room, kitchen, powder bath and two ensuite bedrooms. The space features gorgeous wide-plank Walnut floors, with details only the finest craftsman could accomplish. Care to showcase your culinary skills? The large kitchen is certainly designed for just that. The white cabinetry and dark granite countertops contrast nicely with the rich wood floors. The full accompaniment of white paneled appliances seamlessly blends into the cabinetry. The large island is situated with a fascinating view of the sweeping bay front; an easy 4 | REAL EXCLUSIVE | GetRealExclusive.com
welcoming, entertaining spot. Off the kitchen is a café area, a perfect spot to enjoy your morning cup of coffee. The kitchen overlooks the expansive main living area, with massive double-paned floor to ceiling windows quietly framing the bay front in a perfect moving picture frame of idyllic pedestrians, colorful yachts and sparkling bay waters. The view is so alluring that it draws you out to the curved glass-framed terrace to enjoy the sights and sounds emulating from the bay front.
Heading downstairs I was amazed to find a master suite utopia. An entire floor dedicated to private living at its finest. The master bedroom is massive, a retreat that is so warm and inviting, yet with exciting views of the bay front and city. The tastefully decorated master bath contains all of the amenities one would expect in a fine home.
The two spacious bedrooms on this floor are inviting, warm and quiet. One was tastefully transformed into an office, a perfect quiet place to work from home. Both bedrooms feature their own attractively finished full baths.
One of the most exciting features this condominium, has to offer is a private entrance right off the garage. One can park in one of its 2 designated over-sized secure garage spaces and walk right into the residence. An amenity few, if any, downtown condo units can boast. Certainly this is a rare attribute that will appeal to people looking to buy downtown but may have avoided vertical-living because most buildings lack this rare convenience. What other property has secure, dedicated parking with a private walk-in entrance?
As my tour of the home continued, I ask, “How can this get any better?” Realtor Roger Pettingell responds, “What I love about this property is the incredible amount of space; rooms are oversized, ceilings are high and finishes are lovely. This is the epitome of single-family home living right in the heart of downtown Sarasota!”
The last item of significance not normally found in condominium living is abundant storage. Two separate areas, each entered via a door, provide plenty of room to stow items. The second unit is quite large, actually a walk in unit, and is great for housing decorations and is the mini basement we all miss. Thinking I saw all of the unique amenities Realtor Barbara Ackerman adds, “One should not forget the guest suite. All condos have pools, social rooms and workout facilities. Marina Tower also has its own guest suite. There’s no need to book a hotel for your visitors. They can room right in the

building on the concierge level. What other condo can make a claim like that?” This remarkable residence is sure to attract the most discerning of customers; those seeking downtown living with a home’s ease of access. 304 Marina Tower has a quality and convenience that few downtown condos can boast. The quietness (9/16” annealed hurricane grade glass) will surprise you for urban living, more of a town house with condominium-like amenities.
