A Beach and Boating Lifestyle is yours in the exclusive and coveted harbor section of gated Bay Isles on Longboat Key. Deepwater (sailboat) on a protected Bayou with direct access to Sarasota Bay. This versatile and elegant estate was designed for the entertainer and boating enthusiast. Your own Private Beach Club just minutes away with access to the beautiful white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. The original home built in 1980 was taken down to 2 walls and built new in 2005. Impact glass and new roof in 2005. Living environments that could double as additional primary suite or 4th bedroom with modifications. The media room and office make the home so flexible. It is truly the definition of what today’s luxury buyer demands – an at-home resort experience that grants privacy and access to the region’s best culture. The split-floorplan has been brilliantly maintained and updated with a suite of curated designer finishes and smart-home technology – from fine woodwork on baseboards and crown molding to the exceptional use of space for discreet storage. Enchanting influences including coffered ceilings, wood interior doors, and travertine flooring tie the main spaces of the living room, dining room, and kitchen together to create an open floor plan. A gourmet kitchen is considerate of the family chef with Kitchen-Aid and Viking stainless steel appliances, sink that looks out to a secret garden view, wine refrigerator, 6-burner gas stove, and an oversized center island dedicated to prep and entertaining.. An elevator serves three floors of the home, with the first stop taking you to a massive media room and office convertible to a second master suite with full bar, hidden projector screen, front balcony and garden balcony. Upstairs the master suite is a vision with its own foyer, striking bayou views, fireplace, and a trophy closet with center island and bay window. The en-suite spa bath equally delights with dual water closets and sinks, Roman shower and soaking tub. Two additional bedroom suites are at the other end of the home, one with steam shower and access to the terrace. Sweeping waterfront and a 60’ Trex boat dock add a sensational backdrop for the open-air travertine pool terrace with full summer kitchen and covered areas for dining. A three-car garage completes the home and features durable showroom flooring, Tesla charging port and workshop. Only minutes to shopping, restaurants and the Sarasota mainland, known for its charming downtown and endless variety of arts and culture. The future St. Regis hotel is only a short stroll across to the beach.
