Set on the 7th floor of the Promenade on Longboat Key, this 2BR/2BA residence offers more than 1,800 square feet of living space with sweeping sunset views across the Gulf, stretching to Sarasota Bay and beyond. From the moment you step into the private entry foyer, the home opens to a light-filled interior where water and sky are always in view. Neutral tones and tile flooring create a clean, comfortable backdrop throughout, while the split floor plan provides privacy for both the primary and guest suites. The combined living and dining areas are oriented toward the Gulf, with a striking corner of windows and sliding glass doors that frame the shoreline, the community pool below, and the bay in the distance. The terrace naturally extends the living space—an ideal spot to unwind and take in the changing colors of the evening sky. The kitchen is spacious and thoughtfully designed, with stone countertops, detailed tilework, stainless steel appliances, and a casual eat-in area positioned to enjoy the view. A separate dining area, complete with a wine refrigerator, offers flexibility for both everyday meals and entertaining. The primary suite is generously sized, featuring a full wall of glass with direct terrace access. Two large walk-in closets provide ample storage, and the bath includes a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and dual vanities. The guest bedroom enjoys its own views of both the Gulf and the bay, along with an en suite bath for added comfort. Additional highlights include an in-residence laundry room, secure building access, and one under-building parking space. Residents of the Promenade enjoy a full-service lifestyle with concierge, 24-hour security, a newly renovated lobby and common areas, two fitness centers, club rooms, four Har-Tru tennis courts, a heated lap pool, spa, and nearly 400 feet of beachfront.
