Spectacular unobstructed views of Sarasota Bay and the Intercoastal Waterway! This 4 bedroom, 4 bath, 4233 square foot home is in the sought-after Queens Harbour neighborhood behind the gates of Bay Isles. You enter the home through its unique entry centerpiece: the courtyard with a garden, pool, and spa. As you step through the gorgeous coastal French doors into the two-story foyer with a grand staircase to the upstairs, your eyes capture the wonderful, unobstructed views of the Bay and Intercoastal. You have arrived in your sanctuary on the fabulous Longboat Key. The open floor plan has two masters, one up and one down, each with fabulous baths and spacious closets with built-in cabinetry. The upstairs master even has its own washer and dryer! Architectural features include dome-tiered ceilings, crown molding, decorative columns, floor-to-ceiling windows, and abundant light. A chef’s kitchen with a large family room and a Hemmingway private office overlooking the courtyard provide finishing touches to the downstairs. Outside is the covered rear deck, with a dining patio leading to the large dock. Upstairs is a true haven of spacious bedrooms, a master sitting room with built-in desk and cabinets, and two guest bedrooms with a roomy Jack and Jill bath with two sinks and a separate tub and shower. This well-maintained home has upgraded appliances, a 5-year-old roof, hardwood floors, complete impact-glass hurricane wind protection, and a new Generac generator. The home’s outside attraction is complete with the tide-changing wildlife sanctuary at your bayfront back door, where dolphins cruise the bay, pelicans dive bomb for fish, and eagles and osprey hunt.
