777 John Ringling Blvd

A low-rise waterfront condominium complex built in 1965, Sarasota Harbor East is a three-story, primarily 2-bedroom residential community occupying a bayfront parcel on Coon Key near the John Ringling Causeway. The Hawthorne Building and its sister structures present mid-century massing updated over time with hurricane-impact windows, covered parking and elevators serving all floors. Units typically feature open floorplans connecting living, dining and kitchen areas, built-in cabinetry, solid-surface counters, crown moldings and screened or glass-enclosed lanais that capture panoramic views of Sarasota Bay and the Ringling Bridge. Common facilities emphasize outdoor waterfront living: a heated bayfront pool, clubhouse with library and kitchen, shuffleboard, community gas grills, bicycle and kayak storage, assigned covered parking, storage lockers and first-come, first-served boat slips capable of accommodating mid-size boats. The association covers exterior maintenance, roof, grounds, cable/internet, water/sewer, trash and pest control; the community operates as a 55+ adult complex with rental restrictions and a no-pet policy in many units. Its island setting places residents within short walking distance to St. Armand’s Circle, minutes from Lido Beach and a quick drive to downtown Sarasota and marina services, supporting an active, walkable coastal lifestyle centered on boating and waterfront views.
