One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Discover next-level grandeur, serenity and privacy in this 3BR plus den/office, 3,662+/- sq. -ft. canal-front residence in the highly coveted Harbor section of Bay Isles, an exclusive single-family community of just 67 waterfront homesites. From the meticulous landscaping and paver drive leading the way to your glass double door entry and beyond, each aspect of this sprawling residence beams with a focus on quality, elegance and spaciousness for comfortable family living and entertaining. The great room plan allows for ease of gatherings, with a cozy fireplace, soaring ceilings with recessed lighting, streaming natural light through transom windows and a wall of pocket sliders to the pool area. Separated from the great room by a fully equipped bar, is the kitchen, which is joined by the family room and has a double gas range, granite counters, tile backsplash, and rich wood tones in the cabinetry, architectural columns and accents in the tray ceiling. The split design puts the oversized master suite on the main level on the opposite side of the home, making it a stunning retreat with views of the water through large windows plus a master bath with dual vanities, spa tub, Roman shower and walk-in closets. Outdoor soirees are exceptional by the expansive saltwater pool with spa and plenty of shade for those sultry afternoons. Nautical pursuits are a must from the 120’ seawall, which is maintained by the association and boasts vessel-cut dockage with boatlift for a smaller boat plus dock space for the yacht – all on tranquil, protected water frequented by manatees and other wildlife. Behind two gates in the Longboat Key Club for added security, the Harbor section is located on the convenient southern end of the key near all the shopping and dining venues of St. Armands Circle. Residents also enjoy all the benefits of Bay Isles just across the street, with miles of walking paths and membership to the private Bay Isles Beach Club.
