A sweeping view spanning from the evening sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico to the manicured grounds of the Players Club define the tropical, laidback elegance of this extensively renovated 3BR residence. A quaint sitting area greets you by the front door and welcomes you in to the exquisitely appointed and beautifully styled split plan inside, where gorgeous porcelain tile floors on the diagonal flow throughout the main living areas. The world-class views are presented immediately through a wall of sliders leading to the enclosed terrace/sunroom, where you can open the expanse of windows to enjoy the soothing sounds of the surf below. The master suite offers a surprisingly private retreat, complete with warm wood floors, slider access to the terrace and large master bath with custom built-ins. Additional accommodations include an exceptionally spacious en suite guest room and a third office/bedroom with murphy bed. With a large island eat-in space, the kitchen is fabulously conceived, with rich wood cabinetry, marble backsplash and countertops, top-quality appliances and serving window to the dining area.

The shopping, dining and social attractions of St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota are just moments away.
