It's all about the breathtaking direct Gulf of Mexico views and sweeping Sarasota Bay panoramas from this fully updated, highly desirable residence at Islands West. From the moment you enter, the blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico take center stage through floor to ceiling storm rated windows and sliders from every room. The light filled open plan was completely remodeled in 2020 and features a fully updated kitchen, gorgeous countertops, and a custom breakfast bar connecting the dining area and living room. A wrap around balcony invites you to step outside and enjoy the sea breeze and allows you to see almost the entire island from beach to bay! The primary suite features large floor to ceiling windows with more stunning views, a walk-in closet featuring built-ins and an updated ensuite bath. The 2nd bedroom has views your guests may never want to leave. Islands West offers resort-style amenities including a beachfront heated pool and spa, tennis court, fitness center, catering kitchen, bike and kayak storage, on-site management, and 24-hour security. Residents will soon also enjoy a gorgeous social room (that is currently being completely remodeled) and outdoor grilling area perfect for sunset dining and entertaining. Conveniently located mid-island, across from Publix and minutes from St. Armands Circle, and a short drive to the cultural epicenter of downtown Sarasota. This beautifully renovated building offers the very best of island living on Longboat Key!
