Experience beachfront living at Water Club II, one of Longboat Key’s premier luxury condominium communities. Located on the seventh floor of the coveted North Tower, this fully renovated residence captures sweeping 180-degree views of the Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota Bay and downtown Sarasota. Eastern and western exposures offer breathtaking sunrises and spectacular Gulf sunsets. Encompassing 3,273 square feet under air and 3,692 total square feet, this three-bedroom residence combines contemporary design, premium finishes and a versatile open floor plan. A private elevator opens into your foyer, introducing expansive living spaces with 10-foot ceilings, large-format white porcelain flooring, custom moldings, automated window shades, designer treatments and architectural lighting. A dramatic turquoise onyx countertop anchors the renovated kitchen, complemented by sleek white Italian cabinetry. Opening directly to the main living area, the kitchen enjoys panoramic water views and connects to multiple dining and entertaining spaces. A breakfast nook, formal dining area, spacious living room and adjacent den provide flexibility for intimate gatherings or large-scale entertaining. The split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy for owners and guests. Occupying its own expansive wing, the primary suite features water views, a generous walk-in closet and separate his-and-hers bathrooms connected by a shared shower. A soaking tub overlooking the Gulf creates a private sanctuary. Two additional bedrooms occupy a separate guest wing, each with an en-suite bathroom and terrace access. With three balconies and water views throughout, the beauty of Longboat Key's coastal landscape is ever-present. Renovated with high-end materials and finishes, the residence features updated mechanical systems, including two air-conditioning units replaced approximately three years ago. Its contemporary design provides a versatile foundation for styles ranging from coastal contemporary to glamorous Art Deco. The seller’s high-end designer furnishings are available for separate purchase, presenting an opportunity for move-in-ready luxury living. Chandeliers are excluded. Two parking spaces near the private elevator offer added convenience. Surrounded by lush, preserved landscaping, Water Club II is celebrated for its privacy, security, full-time concierge services and extensive resort-style amenities. The gated beachfront community features a 17,000-square-foot private clubhouse with a ballroom and gathering spaces ideal for private celebrations and large events. Residents enjoy a resort-style pool, fitness center, tennis courts and private deeded beach access. Separate men’s and women’s locker rooms feature whirlpool spas, saunas and steam rooms, creating a luxurious wellness retreat. Situated on the south end of Longboat Key, Water Club II offers convenient access to Publix, the Longboat Key Club, championship golf, boating and waterfront dining. Nearby St. Armands Circle, Lido Key and downtown Sarasota offer exceptional shopping, acclaimed restaurants, galleries, theaters and cultural attractions.
