Welcome to The Water Club on Longboat Key, where refined Gulf-front living meets everyday comfort and effortless elegance. This ninth-floor residence delivers sweeping, unobstructed views from the Gulf of Mexico to Sarasota Bay. Spanning nearly 2,700 square feet, this three-bedroom (currently configured as two bedrooms plus den), three-bath home offers an ideal balance of indoor space and terrace access for those who crave the beach lifestyle without compromise. From the moment you step out of the private elevator lobby, you're met with clean architectural lines, serene tones, and expansive vistas through walls of floor-to-ceiling glass. The open-concept living and dining areas flow seamlessly from a granite-clad kitchen with crisp white cabinetry, custom tile backsplash, and island, creating a cohesive and functional space. The primary suite is its own private sanctuary—separated from the guest wing for ultimate privacy, it features three walk-in closets, a spa-style bath with soaking tub, glass shower, and a dedicated water closet. Step through sliding doors onto the primary’s dedicated Gulf-front terrace to soak in brilliant sunsets. Each guest bedroom includes its own terrace access and en-suite bath, ensuring comfort and privacy for visitors. The open den, located off the main living space, is ideally situated to serve as a flexible third bedroom, office, or media room. Ten-foot ceilings, crown molding, oversized tile and hardwood floors further elevate the interiors. A dedicated laundry room, wine storage, and secure, under-building parking add convenience and peace of mind. Residents at The Water Club enjoy a true resort-style living experience, with 24-hour staffed guard gate, impeccable concierge service, and a renovated beachfront clubhouse. Amenities include a social lounge, catering kitchen, state-of-the-art fitness center with spa services, four Har-Tru tennis courts, and a sprawling sun deck with heated pool and spa that overlooks the Gulf. Tucked along the pristine shoreline of Longboat Key, The Water Club offers an unmatched waterfront lifestyle with easy access to the island’s finest offerings. Enjoy nearby championship golf and marina amenities at the Longboat Key Club, explore the upscale shops and restaurants of St. Armands Circle, or take in the vibrant arts, dining, and cultural attractions of downtown Sarasota—just minutes away. Whether you're seeking a serene retreat or an active coastal lifestyle, this exceptional residence brings the best of Gulf-front living to your doorstep.
