Property Description

Welcome to a little piece of paradise on Longboat Key at the stunning gated Gulf-front condominium community of Water Club, which offers a coastal lifestyle complete with direct access to sandy beaches, high-end amenities and exceptional security and concierge services. This designer-inspired, two-bedroom, 2.5-bath condominium is on the newer north building's plaza level and features nearly 1,400 square feet, 10-foot ceilings, double crown molding, plank wood flooring in the living areas, natural colors and floor to ceiling storm impact windows and doors. An open floor plan offers garden views from the spacious living room and the kitchen, which has both a breakfast bar and a seating area. A beautiful kitchen renovation was completed in December 2025 with handsome wood cabinets, stone countertops and GE Profile appliances. The split plan allows privacy for owners and guests in the two separate primary en-suite bedrooms, each with large windows, custom drapes and carpet, wall closets with built-ins and baths with combination tub/showers. ?An expansive balcony with glass railing barriers can be accessed through the living area and one of the primary suites. This lovely condo conveniently has a stack washer and dryer, linen closet, underbuilding storage unit and assigned parking and its own front desk concierge. Behind the 24-hour guarded-gate is true luxury living with a modern clubhouse, state-of-the-art fitness room, locker room and spa, sauna, bar and lounge, library, game room, ballroom and catering kitchen and outside terrace for gatherings and watching sunsets over the Gulf waters. Besides the magnificent beach and Florida-friendly landscaped grounds, the outdoor amenities include a peaceful courtyard, fire pit, resort-style pool and hot tub and new Har-tru tennis courts. Water Club is conveniently near island golf courses and Publix, and a short distance from St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota for dining, shopping, entertainment and cultural venues.
