Devonshire Place is an established single-family neighborhood within The Meadows in Sarasota, Florida. Located along Downham Meadows near Honore Avenue, the neighborhood offers detached fee-simple homes, mature landscaping, larger residential lots, and a variety of golf-course, lake, and landscaped settings.
Devonshire Place was developed primarily during the early 1990s and is classified by The Meadows Community Association as one of the community’s single-family sections. Unlike many villa and condominium neighborhoods within The Meadows, Devonshire Place consists of individually owned detached residences rather than attached maintenance-free villas.
Devonshire Place Homes
Homes in Devonshire Place generally offer approximately 1,700 to more than 2,600 square feet of air-conditioned living space. Three-bedroom floor plans are especially common, although individual residences may also include flexible dens, offices, additional living areas, or two-and-a-half-bath configurations.
Typical features include attached two-car garages, one-story floor plans, high or vaulted ceilings, screened lanais, interior laundry areas, and mature landscaping. Many homes sit on lots of approximately one-quarter acre or larger.
Depending on location, properties may overlook golf fairways, lakes, landscaped green space, or private backyard areas. Some residences also include private swimming pools, spas, expanded lanais, updated kitchens and baths, storm protection, newer roofing, and other owner improvements.
Because Devonshire Place is an established resale neighborhood, buyers should compare roofing, HVAC systems, windows and doors, pool equipment, hurricane protection, plumbing, electrical updates, and interior renovations for each available home.
Fee-Simple Single-Family Living
Devonshire Place is officially included among the single-family sections of The Meadows. Current Stellar MLS listings identify residences as fee-simple single-family homes rather than condominium or villa ownership.
Each owner is also a member of The Meadows Community Association, which serves as the master association for The Meadows. Buyers should review current MCA assessments, architectural standards, leasing policies, pet rules, and other governing documents before purchasing.
Downham Meadows
Devonshire Place homes are concentrated along Downham Meadows, a residential street extending east from Honore Avenue through the neighborhood.
