631 N ORANGE AVENUE UNIT 107 SARASOTA FL 34236 | MLS #A4659021

Downtown Sarasota living becomes exceptionally attainable with this beautifully renovated first-floor residence in the heart of the Rosemary District. One of only a handful of two-bedroom, two-bath residences currently available under $400,000 in the downtown Sarasota market, this move-in-ready home offers an unmatched combination of walkability, modern updates, low ownership costs, and immediate access to Sarasota’s vibrant urban lifestyle.
Located within the charming Mentone Court community of just 16 residences, this beautifully updated unit sits above the flood plain and includes assigned covered parking only steps from the front door. Positioned within a “Walker’s Paradise” location, the residence is just a five-minute stroll to Main Street’s dining, boutiques, and cafés, a few blocks from Whole Foods, and moments from the Rosemary District’s growing collection of restaurants and outdoor gathering spaces. Citrus Square—located less than a block away—offers additional dining options and convenient access to the Bay Runner trolley and public scooter transportation for effortless connectivity throughout downtown Sarasota and the beaches.
Inside, the residence has been extensively renovated and thoughtfully designed with a clean, contemporary aesthetic. High ceilings, porcelain tile flooring, 5-inch baseboards, plantation shutters, and four closets create a bright and spacious atmosphere throughout the more than 1,000-square-foot layout. The open-concept kitchen features quartz countertops, handcrafted Moroccan Zellige tile backsplash and island accents, solid hickory dovetailed cabinetry, and new Samsung smart Wi-Fi appliances including an induction range and quiet dishwasher.
Both bathrooms have been beautifully reimagined with designer tile, Kohler Awaken fixtures, Choreograph shower systems, and premium glass enclosures, while a new LG heat pump washer and dryer adds everyday convenience. The residence is being offered furnished, including most furnishings, artwork, and a 75-inch Frame television, creating an ideal turnkey downtown residence, investment property (short-term rentals allowed), or seasonal pied-a-terre.
One of the home’s standout features is the oversized private lanai with storage closet, opening directly to a tranquil green space and private gated access toward Citrus Square. A motorized Kevlar storm and sunshade system rated for Category 5 hurricane protection enhances both security and year-round usability.
Mentone Court offers exceptional value with low HOA fees that include master insurance on the structure, water, sewer, trash, landscaping, exterior maintenance, and reserve funding. The professionally managed association is fully funded with no planned special assessments. The community is exempt from milestone inspection requirements due to its low-rise construction and has never experienced storm damage.
Perfectly positioned near Payne Park and the Legacy Trail, the residence also offers convenient access to St. Armands Circle, Lido Beach, Longboat Key, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and downtown Sarasota’s renowned cultural attractions including theaters, galleries, waterfront parks, and fine dining. Stylish, low-maintenance, and exceptionally walkable, this downtown Sarasota residence delivers an outstanding opportunity to enjoy elegant city living with easy beach access.
