Waterfront living takes center stage at this impressive Queens Harbour residence, where more than 3,000 square feet of indoor living open to a tropical pool and spa, covered outdoor living, and a private dock with boat lift on a navigable canal with convenient access to Sarasota Bay. Set behind the gates of Bay Isles, the home offers generous living spaces and an exceptional Longboat Key lifestyle. A paver drive framed by mature tropical landscaping leads to the striking two-story entrance and double glass doors. Inside, soaring tray ceilings, plantation shutters, architectural details and abundant glass create a bright, open feel. A private office sits just off the foyer before the floor plan opens to the main living areas. The great room features a dedicated bar and flows into adjoining living spaces, with sliders opening to the covered lanai, summer kitchen and pool. The kitchen offers abundant white cabinetry, contrasting stone countertops, a large center island with second sink and paneled refrigerator. A light-filled dining area opens directly to the outdoor living space. The first-floor primary suite overlooks the pool and features an aquarium-glass sitting area, tray ceiling, spacious walk-in closet and bath with split vanities, spa tub and glass-enclosed shower. A second en suite bedroom completes the main level. Upstairs, a generous guest suite can serve as a second primary retreat with a walk-in closet and updated en suite bath. Outside, the pool and spa with cascading waterfall are surrounded by paver decking and tropical landscaping. The covered lanai and summer kitchen create an inviting entertaining space, while the private dock and boat lift provide direct canal access to Sarasota Bay. Ownership in Bay Isles includes membership in the private Gulf-front Bay Isles Beach Club, offering residents direct beach access, covered gathering areas, picnic and barbecue facilities and other conveniences for enjoying the Gulf. Separate optional membership to the Longboat Key Club offers additional golf, tennis, dining, fitness, spa, beach and social amenities depending on membership category.
