Frances Carlton Sarasota Condos
Built in 1924, The Frances-Carlton Apartments are perfect for those who love a place with charm, history, and a distinct Mediterranean style. With just 21 units, these homes are mostly 1 BR or 1 BR with den, making them perfect for those who want a studio-style home or vacation spot. The building is filled with distinct architectural details, such as rounded archways, barrel tile roofing, paved walkways, and ornate ironwork. Each residence exudes the same kind of detailed charm, with wood flooring throughout and original casement windows.
When it was originally developed, it was marketed to offer numerous modern conveniences, such as icebox openings on the kitchen exterior to allow for easy delivery. It was touted for being wired for telephone, and it included a unique and (for the time) novel rooftop
garden. The roof includes a domed observatory and a mirador.
Located directly on Palm Avenue, which is lined with galleries and shops, The Frances-Carlton offers convenient access to all that downtown Sarasota has to offer. You can easily walk to Main Street, with its many shops and dining options; or head to Burns Court Cinema to take in an art film, followed by dinner at a nearby restaurant or café; or stroll further down to Towles Court, a favorite artist colony.
Venture west a couple of miles and you’ll find yourself on St. Armand’s Circle, a circular dining and shopping venue where you can choose from more than 130 shops, restaurants, and cafés. If a day playing in the water suits your fancy, just cross the Ringling Bridge and spend the day windsurfing, kayaking, boating, or sailing in the bay. Or grab your favorite beach read and head on out to Lido Beach, just past St. Armand’s Circle, where you can soak in the sun and relax to the rhythm of the calm Gulf waves.
The Frances-Carlton is a quaint, historic building, perfect for those with an eye for aesthetics, culture, and charm. Living here puts you near everything, but the location itself provides a sense of seclusion and privacy—truly the best of both worlds.
