Enjoy the best of both worlds at Library Mews with both downtown convenience and walkability as well as lush expansive private outdoor areas. Library Mews is an intimate community with only 11 residences featuring 2-story villas with masonry construction and private garages. The exterior of the entire community was updated in 2025, with new roofs, awnings, exterior paint, gutters, exterior lighting, and hurricane impact skylights. The interior of this residence has been extensively remodeled, increasing ceiling heights, improving the kitchen and bathrooms, and adding a second A/C system that facilitates two separate heating/cooling zones, one for each level. The island kitchen boasts a sub-zero refrigerator, Cambria quartz countertops, mother-of-pearl backsplash, and wood, dovetailed all-drawer cabinetry that includes a pull our spice rack and built-in trash receptacle. The range is a Bosch electric smooth top, however, it can easily be swapped out for a gas range using the existing gas bib. And the adjacent butlers pantry/laundry room has loads of extra storage. The living room, dining room, and kitchen all have glass sliders that bring the outside in and provide easy access to the private courtyard area. The courtyard has gas service, facilitating a direct connect BBQ grill thereby avoiding having to lug propane tanks. The first floor includes a convenient den with custom built-in mahogany shelving and desk and loads of storage space. A powder room completes the first floor. The owners' suite is light and bright with triple sliders and brazilian cherry hardwood flooring. The walk-in closet has been custom fitted and is easily reconfigurable to your needs. The ensuite bathroom includes a dual quartz vanity, under mount sinks, Toto commode with electric outlet access, a skylight, a deep soaking bathtub, and spacious walk-in frameless shower with seat. The fixtures are Hans-Grohe and include swivel vanity taps and a handheld shower head that can operate together with the main shower head or separately. The guest suite is split from the owners' suite and includes an ensuite bathroom with skylight and a spacious closet, making hosting guests a pleasure. In addition to the attached one-car garage, this residence also includes a deeded carport providing total space for two vehicles within the gated area. The garage has a separate air-conditioned storage closet. And electric hurricane shutters make storm preparation a breeze. Top it all off with an expansive rooftop private terrace with new 24 porcelain pavers that is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. You'll not only be able to catch some rays, but also indulge your green thumb, and watch the fireworks over the bay. In a city that's largely dominated by high-rise condominiums, Library Mews is a world apart. Blending into the surrounding landscape, it truly is an oasis hidden in plain sight. Tucked into a quiet corner of the city away from the fray, Library Mews is convenient to all of the downtown amenities. Just two blocks to Whole Foods and Starbucks, across the street from Selby Library, the Opera House, and Florida Studio Theater, Library Mews is only a few minutes walk to Main Street restaurants and shops, the Saturday morning Farmers Market, as well as the Bayfront.
