🚨 JUST LISTED! 🚨

Welcome to Rosemary Park Condominiums in the heart of Sarasota!

If downtown Sarasota is the stage, the Rosemary District is the backstage lounge, cool, walkable, and packed with culture. And now, you can live right in the heart of it all.

Step inside this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath Rosemary District condo, where modern upgrades meet walkable downtown living.

On the main level, a light-filled living space welcomes you with gleaming porcelain tile floors. The designer kitchen features granite countertops, a large center island with seating, custom cabinetry, stainless steel GE appliances, including a French-door refrigerator, and under-cabinet lighting—a perfect setup for cooking or entertaining with friends. The main level also incorporates a stacked washer/dryer tucked away behind louvered doors for convenience.

Upstairs, the home unfolds into two private retreats. The guest bedroom is bright and spacious, set just steps from an updated bath with quartz vanity and a full tub-shower combo. The showstopper is the primary suite, reimagined with luxury vinyl plank floors, a custom built-in wardrobe + entertainment console, and a barn door leading into a spa-inspired ensuite. Here, large-format marble tile flooring, and a custom frameless glass shower, with marble mosaic floor and built-in niche shelf with porcelain tile accent wall details create a luxury feel rarely found at this price point.

From top to bottom, this home delivers the perfect balance of function, design, and Sarasota lifestyle—all just steps from cafés, art galleries, and the city’s cultural core.

Other features include:

✅ Fresh paint + brand-new 40 gallon electric water heater in 2025
✅ 1 Assigned Parking Space & 1 additional parking tag

Renovations completed in 2021 bring peace of mind: new AC, plumbing, electrical, hurricane impact windows & doors throughout, and so much more.

All this is wrapped up in a low-fee community ($460/month) just steps from cafés, fitness studios, theaters, and Sarasota’s cultural hotspots. Stroll to the Farmers Market, or bike over the Ringling Bridge to Lido Key—it’s the ultimate downtown lifestyle.

There’s nothing quite like helping first-time home buyers cross the finish line and get the keys to their dream home. But let me tell you, when it came to this deal, the road to “Sold!” felt a little less like a smooth Sunday drive and a little more like a theme park rollercoaster.

This particular adventure starred our clients, KB Home, and a lot of patience.

The Setup: A Half-Finished House with Potential

We originally walked into a home that was halfway built. The first buyers had backed out due to financing, which meant the property was now up for grabs. On paper, it was a great opportunity, budget-friendly, no waitlist, and we could see exactly what we were getting. My clients liked the layout, and we decided it was the right fit.

What we didn’t realize at first was just how bare-bones “budget builder” can get. We’re talking no garage door opener… yes, you read that right. Even the most basic conveniences weren’t included. (So we planned on having one installed for them when they moved in, but the builder messed up so bad they ended up installing one for free for my clients anyways.)

The Process: Delays, Excuses, and a Side of Attitude

If you’ve ever dealt with large builders, you know the process can be bumpy. KB is known for moving fast and offering affordable floorplans, but quality control and timelines? That’s where things started to wobble.

Here’s how it played out:

Inspection Drama: When we pointed out things that needed fixing, the project manager decided to serve us attitude instead of solutions. Spoiler alert: that never goes over well.

Delay #1: Closing was pushed back an entire month before we even got to inspections.

Delay #2: Just when we thought we were finally closing in, the builder hit us with another curveball. First, they pushed closing back a week, claiming we were “waiting on the Certificate of Occupancy.” Then, on the actual day of closing, my buyers signed all the paperwork, ready to celebrate… only for us to sit around all day while the builder kept insisting the CO was “almost ready.” Spoiler: it wasn’t. Closing never happened. Instead, we were told everything had to be re-signed once the builder actually secured the CO—another two weeks later. It was a waste of everyone’s time and just another unnecessary frustration for my buyers.

The Excuse Train: The builder tried blaming the county for being “slow” with the Certificate of Occupancy. But when the driveway wasn’t even painted by the final walkthrough, the truth was clear—the delays weren’t on the county, they were on KB.

The Finish Line: Keys in Hand (Finally)

After weeks of delays, rescheduling movers, and juggling life logistics, my clients finally got their keys. It wasn’t simple, it wasn’t smooth, but we made it happen.

And here’s the silver lining: now they’re in their brand-new home, and despite the bumps, they have something truly theirs. The smiles on their faces at closing made every frustrating phone call and delay worth it.

Takeaway for Buyers

If you’re considering new construction, here’s the reality check:

Budget builders like KB can save you money upfront, but don’t expect many bells and whistles.

Timelines can be fluid (translation: delays are common).

You need an advocate, someone who’s not afraid to push back, point out the issues, and keep the process moving forward.

That’s exactly what we do for our clients. Buying new construction can be a wild ride, but with the right guidance, you’ll still cross that finish line with keys in hand.
