Downtown Sarasota has become one of the most desirable places to live on Florida's Gulf Coast, offering an exceptional combination of culture, dining, shopping, entertainment and coastal lifestyle. At the center of this vibrant downtown environment is The MARK Sarasota, a contemporary residential community that places many of the city's most desirable destinations within easy reach.

Residence 716 at The MARK presents an exceptional opportunity to experience this lifestyle from a beautifully designed two bedroom residence with an oversized den and two parking spaces. Located at 111 S Pineapple Avenue, the residence offers 1,688 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and combines sophisticated interiors with the convenience of a downtown Sarasota location.

Listed at $1,249,000, this residence offers a refined approach to condominium living for buyers who want space, privacy, modern design and immediate access to the best of Sarasota.

The MARK Sarasota and the Downtown Lifestyle

The MARK occupies a highly desirable location in the heart of downtown Sarasota. The community is surrounded by the restaurants, shops, galleries and cultural destinations that have helped establish downtown Sarasota as one of Florida's most attractive urban environments.

For many buyers, the appeal of downtown living is the ability to leave the car behind and enjoy the city on foot. From The MARK, Whole Foods Market, restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, the marina and scenic parks are all conveniently close to home.

This type of location is especially attractive to buyers looking for a second home or a full time residence where convenience is part of the lifestyle. Instead of spending time driving between destinations, residents can enjoy a more connected way of living with the energy of downtown immediately outside their door.

An Open Concept Residence Designed for Entertaining

Residence 716 has been thoughtfully designed around an open concept floor plan that creates a natural connection between the kitchen, dining area and main living space. The design provides an inviting environment for everyday living while also offering the flexibility needed for entertaining.

The spacious kitchen includes generous preparation areas and island seating for three. This creates a natural gathering point where meals can be prepared while remaining part of the conversation.

An elegant glass chandelier defines the dining area and provides space for a dining table that can comfortably accommodate six guests. The combination of the kitchen, dining area and living room creates an environment that feels both sophisticated and relaxed.

Large floor to ceiling sliding glass doors extend from the main living area to the private terrace. This connection brings natural light into the residence while providing an additional outdoor living space where homeowners can enjoy a morning coffee, an evening glass of wine or the energy of downtown Sarasota.

A Private Terrace in the Heart of Sarasota

Outdoor space has become an increasingly important part of luxury condominium living, and the private terrace at Residence 716 adds another dimension to the home.

The terrace provides a natural extension of the interior living area and creates a comfortable setting for relaxing outdoors. The large sliding glass doors allow the living space to open toward the terrace, reinforcing the indoor and outdoor connection that is so important to the Florida lifestyle.

For buyers who enjoy entertaining, the terrace provides another area for guests to gather. For those who prefer quieter moments, it becomes a private outdoor retreat in the center of downtown Sarasota.

Private and Comfortable Split Bedroom Design

The residence features a split bedroom floor plan that provides additional privacy between the primary suite and secondary bedroom. This layout is particularly attractive for homeowners who frequently have guests or who want greater separation between private and shared spaces.

The primary suite has been designed with a warm and refined aesthetic. A distinctive accent wall and tailored drapery add character to the room while maintaining a sophisticated atmosphere.

The primary suite also features a walk in closet with custom built in cabinetry. The thoughtful organization provides dedicated space for clothing, accessories and personal belongings while keeping the bedroom environment clean and uncluttered.

The primary bathroom adds another layer of individuality to the residence with distinctive wallcovering that creates a sophisticated and welcoming setting.

The secondary bedroom is also beautifully appointed and provides guests with their own private retreat. With its own ensuite bathroom, the secondary suite offers the privacy and comfort expected from a luxury downtown residence.

An Oversized Den With Exceptional Flexibility

One of the standout features of Residence 716 is the oversized den. In a home designed for modern living, flexible space has become increasingly valuable, and this room can adapt to the needs of the homeowner.

The den can function as a private home office, media room, reading lounge or additional living area. For buyers who work from home, it provides a dedicated workspace separate from the primary living areas. For those who enjoy entertainment, it can become a comfortable media or relaxation room.

This flexibility makes the residence appealing to a wide range of buyers, from full time Sarasota residents to seasonal homeowners looking for a sophisticated downtown retreat.

Resort Inspired Amenities at The MARK

Living at The MARK extends beyond the private residence. The community offers an impressive collection of resort inspired amenities designed to complement the downtown Sarasota lifestyle.

The expansive swimming pool provides space for both exercise and relaxation, allowing residents to enjoy the Florida sunshine without leaving the building. Grilling stations and generous outdoor seating create additional opportunities for casual entertaining.

A fireplace gathering area provides a comfortable setting for socializing and relaxing, creating an inviting environment beyond the private residence.

The MARK also features a stylish social room with a pool table, providing residents with an additional space for recreation and gatherings. A convenient drop in workspace offers flexibility for residents who need a place to work outside their residence.

The fitness center is equipped with modern equipment and dedicated space for stretching and movement, making it convenient to maintain an active lifestyle close to home.

The Appeal of Luxury Condominium Living in Sarasota

Sarasota has evolved into one of Florida's most sought after destinations for luxury residential living. Buyers are attracted not only by the city's beautiful beaches and coastal setting, but also by its cultural attractions, restaurants, performing arts, galleries and growing downtown environment.

Luxury condominium living provides a particularly attractive option for buyers who want to enjoy Sarasota without the responsibilities associated with maintaining a large single family home.

Residents can enjoy amenities, outdoor spaces and a central location while spending more time experiencing the city and less time managing a property.

For seasonal residents, this lifestyle can be especially appealing. A well located condominium can serve as a sophisticated home base for enjoying Sarasota during the winter months while providing convenient access to restaurants, entertainment and the Gulf Coast.

Why Downtown Sarasota Continues to Attract Luxury Buyers

The appeal of downtown Sarasota is rooted in its unique combination of urban convenience and coastal lifestyle. Few Florida destinations offer the same concentration of restaurants, cultural institutions, galleries, boutiques, parks and waterfront destinations within such a walkable environment.

Residents can enjoy an evening at the theater, dinner at a downtown restaurant, shopping at local boutiques or a walk through one of Sarasota's scenic parks without traveling far from home.

The city also provides convenient access to some of Florida's most beautiful beaches, including Lido Key, Longboat Key and Siesta Key. This combination allows homeowners to enjoy both an active downtown lifestyle and the relaxed coastal environment that has made Sarasota internationally recognized.
