This 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath WATERFRONT condo delivers just under 3000 sq ft of OPEN LIVING SPACE with VIEWS of Sarasota Bay, the nature preserve, and marina. ABUNDANT SUNLIGHT and the WARM CROSS BREEZES stream into the living spaces thanks to the windows, terraces, and floor-to-ceiling glass sliders on BOTH the east and west sides of the unit. From your 30’ lanai, watch the theatre of nature - the birds, marine life, the sunrises- as well as the boats floating by, and after sunset enjoy the twinkling lights of Downtown Sarasota. Every common area has views to the water. Even while resting in bed from your private, owners retreat you look straight out towards the water. The screened-in lanai enables you to enjoy the best of Florida’s indoor/outdoor lifestyle day and night. And you don’t have to sacrifice on the entertaining front as this condo has a large formal dining room with built in sideboards that adds oodles of counter space and storage. The split floor plan offers private spaces for you and your guest to retreat and restore. Owner's Suite has two walk-in closets, double sinks, large soaking tub, walk-in shower, and separate toilet room. Two guest rooms share an open terrace and guest bath. 3rd bedroom currently used as an office with lots of desk, built-in shelving, and cupboard space, but still allows ample room for a Murphy bed or flex space.
