Tessera Condominiums in Sarasota, FL.

Two residences per floor keep Tessera condos for sale exclusive, just 24 units total inside a 14 story tower at 500 South Palm Avenue across from the Sarasota bayfront. Built in 2000, floor plans run 2,830 up to 5,780 square feet across 3 to 5 bedroom layouts, and a penthouse claims the entire top two floors for itself. Ten foot ceilings make even the smaller units feel larger than most downtown buildings manage.

A heated pool, spa, steam room, fitness center, clubhouse, and 24 hour concierge cover the amenities, and two pets are allowed with no size restriction, unusual for a building this upscale. Marina Jack sits a short walk away for boat owners, and Lido, Longboat, and Siesta Key beaches are all under half an hour out.

Additional Tessera Condo Information

Marina Jackโ€™s is a short walk away, with a marina available for your boat. The Marina Jack II, a 96-foot yacht, offers daily sailings for afternoon sightseeing trips as well as romantic dinner cruises. For the kids, a childrenโ€™s fountain and swing set is available at the nearby Island Park for an afternoon of fun.

There are many different things to keep you occupied in downtown Sarasota during weekdays and weekends. Many musicians of a wide variety of genres visit the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, which is a quick five-minute drive away. There is also opera, staged theater, and of course the world-famous Sarasota Circus to enjoy. Sarasota was at one time the place where John Ringling wintered his circus; that legacy continues with the Ringling, a circus museum, art museum, and even another theater โ€“ the Historic Asolo Theater.

Sarasota is one of the few places in the U.S. that boasts a year-round circus, and is definitely a site to see. The Tessera condos in downtown Sarasota are the perfect place to stay, whether you are looking for a place to live or for a vacation.
