410 Burns Court Sarasota, FL 34236

TOTAL RENOVATION. A distinctive urban residence offering exceptional flexibility for living, creating and working in Downtown Sarasota’s highly sought-after Burns Court Historic District. Originally built in 1926 and comprehensively rebuilt while preserving its architectural character, 410 Burns Court presents an inspired setting for an artist, writer, designer, remote professional, owner-user, investor or boutique business concept. DTC zoning accommodates a variety of residential, office and retail possibilities, all just steps from Burns Court Cinema, restaurants, galleries, boutiques, the bayfront and downtown Sarasota’s cultural attractions.

The reconstruction included 15 new pilings, load-bearing beams, floor stringers and subfloor, plus a ground vapor barrier and crushed-rock base. The interior was reframed with a redesigned layout, ceilings raised above nine feet and a dramatic 14-foot vaulted kitchen ceiling. Spray-foam insulation encapsulates the floors, walls and attic. Improvements also include all-new electrical, plumbing, ductwork with modern linear venting, separate HVAC systems for the main residence and casita, hurricane-impact windows and doors, sand-finish stucco, new downspout scuppers and a roof installed in 2013.

The designer kitchen features imported Italian porcelain tile, built-in Bosch appliances, 10-foot custom cabinetry and Carrara marble countertops and backsplash. The beautifully finished bathrooms also showcase Italian porcelain tile. Additional appointments include custom designer lighting, an Italian marble surround framing the original century-old fireplace, engineered hardwood flooring, plantation shutters, custom doors and a new stackable washer and dryer.

A private courtyard connects the main residence with a fully renovated detached casita of approximately 200 square feet with a full bath. Ideal as a guest suite, multigenerational retreat, artist’s studio, writing room, private office, boutique workspace or potential income-producing studio, it provides remarkable versatility. Together, the property offers two bedrooms, two full baths and one half bath.

Additional improvements include sandblasted Carrara marble entry steps with decorative tile risers and landings, new natural-gas service, an on-demand gas water heater, a courtyard gas connection for grilling, extensive landscaping, irrigation, landscape lighting, a new shell-finish concrete driveway and a second driveway for additional parking.

A rare mixed-use opportunity combining residential comfort with flexible office, studio or boutique business potential, this remarkable property offers visibility, adaptability and an unforgettable presence in one of Sarasota’s most vibrant, walkable and artistic neighborhoods.
