Property Description
Experience the best of downtown Sarasota living from this exceptional 10th-floor residence at Essex House, ideally located at 707 S Gulfstream Avenue between Sarasota Bay, Palm Avenue and the heart of downtown. This elevated residence offers beautiful sunrise and moon views, impressive city outlooks and a unique feature rarely found elsewhere in the building: higher ceilings exclusive to the 10th floor, creating a more open and spacious feel.
Essex House is an established 11-story, 76-residence condominium community offering a desirable combination of location, amenities, security and convenience. The residence includes one assigned parking space, access to private storage and bike storage, plus a new refrigerator and range installed in 2026.
Recent building improvements provide added value and include a new roof in 2021, new pool deck in 2025, replacement of the rooftop air-conditioning system serving the interior common areas and hallways in 2025, a new fire-suppression pump in 2025 and generator improvements in 2025. There are currently no assessments, based on information provided by the association.
Residents enjoy a heated saltwater pool, poolside gazebo, outdoor grilling and sink area, fitness center with weight and aerobic equipment, clubroom/social room, library, craft/wood working room and remodeled lobby. Essex House also offers key-fob building entry, security cameras throughout interior and exterior common areas, regular pest and fire inspections, and on-site management and maintenance Monday through Friday.
The location is one of the strongest reasons to own here. Walk to Palm Avenue restaurants, galleries and boutique shopping, Burns Court, Sarasota's Main Street, Marina Jack and the Sarasota Bay waterfront. Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is less than approximately half a mile away, while downtown festivals, the Sarasota Farmers Market, cultural venues and waterfront events are all nearby.
Enjoy an easy approximately 3-mile trip to St. Armands Circle, with convenient access across the John Ringling Causeway to Lido Key and Sarasota's Gulf beaches. Boaters will appreciate the downtown waterfront lifestyle, including access to Marina Jack, nearby boating events and the ability to arrive by boat at O'Leary's Tiki Bar & Grill.
If you are searching for a downtown Sarasota condo with water views, higher ceilings, resort-style amenities, secure access, on-site management, assigned parking, fitness facilities, saltwater pool, Sarasota Bay access and walkability to restaurants, galleries, shopping and the waterfront, this Essex House residence delivers a distinctive combination of location, lifestyle and long-term value.
