One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to an exceptional opportunity to create a beachfront residence tailored to your own vision in this 3BR/2BA, 9th floor residence at the Islander Club on Longboat Key. From the moment you step through the foyer, the horizon unfolds, revealing sweeping blues and greens that trace the shoreline and stretch across the Gulf, forming a breathtaking backdrop that changes throughout the day. Wood floors flow throughout the residence, complementing the natural palette beyond the glass. The living room is defined by a full wall of sliders that open to an expansive terrace positioned directly above the beach. From here, the sights and sounds of the shoreline become part of daily life. The expansive balcony extends along the Gulf side of the residence, extending the outdoor living space and offering multiple vantage points along the coast. The kitchen features white cabinetry, contrasting black stone countertops, white appliances, and a clean tile backsplash, with a convenient serving window connecting to the living area for easy entertaining. The primary suite offers its own wall of sliders opening to the terrace and uninterrupted views of the beach and Gulf beyond. The second bedroom provides comfortable space for family or visitors, while the flexible layout allows for thoughtful updates that can enhance both style and functionality over time. Set in a prime mid key location, Islander Club offers a resort style environment with a beachfront swimming pool, tennis courts, updated clubhouse, fitness center, library, billiards room, and secure gated entry. All just steps from the sand and a short drive to the shopping, dining, and cultural attractions of St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota.
