Tucked away on lovely Palm Avenue are the residences at the Frances Carlton, a community which hearkens back to the early years of Sarasota in charm and elegance. Built in 1924, it still boasts many original features in its 21 units. The units are exclusively 1 bedroom, and allow pets. The grounds are meticulously kept behind wrought iron gates, and a community pool is available to residents. Stepping into the Frances Carlton is like stepping back in time.
Palm Avenue is one of those streets that you walk down and are inspired to slow down and actually look into windows as you pass them. In a world of chain stores and franchises, Sarasota’s downtown is a refreshing, eclectic mix of original galleries, locally owned bistros and unique shopping destinations. Palm Avenue is no exception, and is a great destination in and of itself. The Palm Avenue Gallery Walks every month draw the locals out to enjoy gallery exhibits, food, wine and live entertainment.
Just one block over is the beautiful Sarasota Bayfront Park and the Selby Botanical Gardens. All Main Street shopping and dining is a short stroll away.
