Property Description

Mesmerizing, unobstructed views of Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico set a breathtaking stage from this towering 17th-floor residence at Condo on the Bay, where sky, water and city lights create an ever-changing coastal panorama. Perfectly positioned on a private peninsula in the heart of Sarasota, this home captures elevated waterfront living with a rare sense of openness and tranquility. From sunrise reflections over the bay to golden sunsets across the Gulf, every moment is framed by water. Expansive windows and floor-to-ceiling glass sliders draw your eye outward, while a spacious, covered balcony offers a front-row seat to passing boats, seabirds and Sarasota’s natural shoreline. Upon entry, the view takes center stage, complemented by a custom built-in buffet with a wine cooler as well as French oak plank flooring. The renovated kitchen features new stainless steel appliances, updated fixtures, Campbell solid wood cabinetry and striking Cambria quartz countertops that extend seamlessly along the full wall, creating a clean, modern statement. A pass-through design connects the kitchen to the dining and living areas, enhancing light and flow, with additional built-in cabinetry providing generous storage. The living space is thoughtfully designed with a floating media cabinet, a Samsung Frame TV and a Sonos sound bar included. In the primary suite, custom details continue with floating nightstands, a wood canopy bed and a spacious walk-in closet with built-ins, while a wall of windows showcases sweeping views of the bay, Longboat Key and the Gulf beyond. Both baths have been fully updated with new cabinetry, tile and countertops and the guest bedroom features an oversized closet with custom built-ins. Tinted glass entry doors throughout the residence add a refined contemporary touch. Residents of Condo on the Bay enjoy a secure, gated environment with 24-hour concierge and security, along with amenities that include two resort-style pools, tennis courts, two fitness rooms, social spaces and a private marina with boat slips available for lease. Kayak launches, a fishing pier and waterfront walking paths further enhance the coastal lifestyle. Directly next to The Bay, Sarasota’s transformative 50-plus-acre waterfront park, residents have immediate access to scenic trails, performance venues, open green space and year-round cultural programming. Downtown Sarasota’s renowned dining, arts and cultural scene is just moments away, along with St. Armands Circle and the white sand beaches of Lido Key. Whether as a full-time residence or seasonal retreat, this is a rare opportunity to own a premier position in Sarasota’s skyline, offering panoramic water views, exceptional amenities and unmatched proximity to downtown coastal living. Furnishings are available on a separate schedule.
