Located in the intimate beachfront enclave of Vizcaya, this 3 bedroom Penthouse with direct azure water views lives like a single family home offering the most spacious balconies with the benefit of resort-style amenities and a private two car garage. The kitchen has been reconfigured from the original floor plan to maximize the Gulf views to the west, while Sarasota Bay views can be enjoyed at the sink looking east. The main terrace is oversized, measuring 15' in width at its widest point and approximately 50' in length with glass rails for unobstructed views of the water and well-manicured grounds. The split floor plan allows owners privacy with the master suite boasting 3 separate walk-in closets, a skylight in the master bath above the roman tub and sunset views in the evenings. The second guest bedroom is ensuite with plantation shutters, a separate entrance perfect for extended family stays and a terrace facing east to enjoy the sunrise and Sarasota Bay views. The third guest bedroom is currently being used as a den, but also accesses the east terrace and uses the full bath with shower in the guest wing hall. Residents will enjoy the convenience of a full sized laundry room inside the unit complete with sink, built-in cabinetry and a fold away ironing board. Other highlights include 10' ceilings, elegant double door entry, solid interior doors, summer kitchen, private entry courtyard, marble foyer, generous closet space and the first floor private two car garage. Vizcaya is a luxury community featuring romantic Mediterranean architecture, courtyards and fountains all in the distinctive style of Addison Mizner. It is situated on 500 feet of beach front on the Gulf of Mexico and is the essence of quiet sophistication with only 31 residences on the south end of Longboat Key. Lush, mature landscaping enhances the private serene feeling of the grounds. Included within Vizcaya is a separate clubhouse with a spacious social room, catering kitchen and fitness center including a hot tub and locker rooms. There is a Har-Tru tennis court on site and a management couple lives within the complex and proves Vizcaya's legendary service. Close proximity to the Longboat Key Club, St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota provides access to fine dining and shopping while still relaxing on island time. This is island living at its best.
