Behind the gates of the Longboat Key Club, this exceptional residence at The Beaches captures sweeping, unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico and its pristine shoreline, where vivid sunsets paint the horizon each evening. Perched on the eighth floor, this coveted Star floor plan is ideally positioned as a spacious end residence, offering 2,122 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Walls of glass frame panoramic water vistas and invite natural light to pour into the main living areas. Newly installed impact-rated sliders enhance both storm protection and seamless indoor-outdoor living, while oak engineered hardwood flooring flows beautifully through the living room, dining area, and kitchen, creating a warm yet sophisticated coastal aesthetic. The generous layout provides an effortless blend of comfort and refinement, with well-proportioned bedrooms and baths designed to accommodate both everyday living and gracious entertaining. The Beaches is recognized as one of the premier beachfront addresses within the Longboat Key Club, offering direct access to the sugar-white sands and turquoise waters of the Gulf. Residents enjoy an elevated level of service and amenities, including a 24-hour concierge, resort-style pool, fitness center, tennis courts, and impeccably maintained grounds. Ideally located on the southern end of Longboat Key, this gated community affords convenient access to the fine dining and boutiques of St. Armands Circle, the vibrant arts and culture of downtown Sarasota, and the exclusive offerings of the Longboat Key Club. This is a rare opportunity to secure a front-row seat to the Gulf and embrace the effortless elegance of Florida's most sought-after coastal lifestyle. Interior photography coming soon.
