Property Description

With Sarasota’s endless sunshine and breathtaking coastal vistas, the views from this residence truly go on forever. From the 18th floor, enjoy full, unobstructed panoramas of Sarasota Bay stretching all the way to the Gulf of Mexico on the horizon—views attainable only from the 18th and 19th floors, where residences are rarely available.

This exceptional home has been completely remodeled to a refined, contemporary living space. The main living areas and kitchen feature select UA Grecian Series Natural Hickory wood flooring, adding warmth and sophistication throughout.

The renovated kitchen and two bathrooms showcase soft-close European-hinge cabinetry and granite countertops. The kitchen is equipped with high-end KitchenAid appliances, including a refrigerator, convection oven, microwave, cooktop, vent hood, and dishwasher. A full-size stacked GE washer and dryer are conveniently and discreetly integrated into the kitchen design.

Thoughtful upgrades enhance both comfort and wellness, including a REME HALO whole-home air purification system, Everpure commercial-grade water filter in the kitchen, and a Smith Proline commercial-grade water heater. Recently replaced Plaza HBP Low-E sliding glass doors (Miami-Dade rated) frame the spectacular views, while Llumar Vista security window film—with a lifetime guarantee—adds peace of mind in the primary bedroom.

Additional custom touches include a floating bar in the living room and elegant Allure window shades, with motorized shades in the primary bedroom.

These amenities include: • 2 Swimming Pools - North and South, • 4 Lighted Pickleball Courts, • Lighted Tennis Courts, • Exercise Facilities & Sauna Rooms, • Boat Docks, Kayak Racks, and Fishing Piers - North and South.
