About This Property
Rarely available penthouse living at Beach Harbor Club pairs sweeping Sarasota Bay views with deeded access to the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico. Set on the top floor of Building E, Residence #E412 is an exceptionally spacious three-bedroom, three-bath retreat offering more than 2,500 square feet, captivating water views from nearly every room and the relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle that makes Longboat Key so desirable. This residence also includes two premium covered parking spaces. From the moment you arrive, the water takes center stage. A private screened front patio creates an inviting outdoor perch overlooking the bay, while inside, an expansive, light-filled floor plan unfolds through generous living, dining and family spaces. Walls of glass frame the sparkling bay, surrounding tropical landscape and boating activity below, creating a constant connection to the waterfront setting. The oversized living room flows naturally into the enclosed bayfront terrace, now incorporated as a comfortable family room for additional year-round living space. Impact-rated sliding glass doors open to a Juliet balcony, inviting refreshing bay breezes inside while preserving the protection and comfort of an enclosed space. It is an ideal setting for morning coffee, reading, entertaining or simply watching the ever-changing colors of the water. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the formal dining room is surrounded by windows and enjoys beautiful bay views. The adjacent eat-in kitchen, renovated in 2018, features abundant cabinetry and workspace, a breakfast nook and its own picturesque outlook across the water. Three generously sized bedrooms are arranged in a desirable split plan, providing privacy for owners and overnight guests. The spacious primary suite is positioned to take advantage of the waterfront setting and includes a sitting area and an updated en-suite bath renovated in 2023. The additional bedroom suites offer exceptional flexibility for visiting family, guests or a home office. Beyond the residence, Beach Harbor Club delivers the quintessential Longboat Key lifestyle from bay to beach. Residents enjoy a bayfront clubhouse with social room, bar and catering kitchen, library, fitness center, heated swimming pool, Tiki hut and barbecue area, shuffleboard, car wash station, fish-cleaning station and outdoor shower. Boaters and paddlers will especially appreciate Beach Harbor Club's on-site marina, where assigned boat slips and kayak storage racks are available on a first-come basis. Just across Gulf of Mexico Drive, the community's deeded Gulf beach access puts the turquoise waters and soft sands of Longboat Key only moments from home—offering the rare opportunity to spend the morning boating on Sarasota Bay and the afternoon along the Gulf. Ideally positioned on the southern end of Longboat Key, #E412 is convenient to the boutiques, restaurants and cafés of St. Armands Circle, while Downtown Sarasota is just beyond the Ringling Bridge for acclaimed dining, galleries, theaters, the Sarasota Opera, Marina Jack and the city's celebrated arts and cultural scene. Longboat Key's waterfront restaurants, golf, tennis, parks and miles of shoreline are also close at hand.
