Located on the 5th-floor penthouse level of Fairway Bay, this corner 2BR/2BA residence offers beautiful views of Sarasota Bay, the downtown skyline, manicured grounds, pool, and mangrove channels. Garage parking, a rare and desirable feature on Longboat Key, adds to the appeal. From the moment you enter, a wall of sliders draws your eye through the living room to the bay beyond. Tile floors run through the main living areas, and the open layout includes a spacious living room with a flexible bump-out area ideal for extra seating, a reading nook, or workspace. The dining area flows to the kitchen, which features a functional layout, breakfast bar, and adjoining eat-in area with sliders opening to the side terrace. The primary suite offers bay views, built-ins, a walk-in closet, direct terrace access, and a bath with dual vanities, separate water closet, and excellent potential for updating. The guest bedroom is comfortable and includes an en suite bath. The corner terrace extends the living space outdoors, offering a peaceful setting from morning light on the water to the evening glow of downtown. One of the true highlights of Bay Isles living is deeded private beach access through the Bay Isles Beach Club, a resident-only Gulf-front retreat with an on-site attendant, covered gathering and picnic areas, restrooms, changing rooms, barbecue grills, volleyball court, and beach accessory storage. Fairway Bay residents also enjoy 24-hour gated security, tennis courts, fitness facilities, walking paths, and the benefits of Bay Isles living. Optional Longboat Key Club memberships offer access, depending on category, to championship golf, Har-Tru tennis, private dining, beach and pool club facilities, spa, fitness center, wellness studio, club events, and marina amenities. Deepwater slips may also be available separately.
