From sunrise reflections over the bay to golden sunsets across the Gulf, every moment is framed by water. Expansive windows and floor-to-ceiling glass sliders draw your eye outward, while a spacious, covered balcony offers a front-row seat to passing boats, seabirds and Sarasota’s natural shoreline.

The renovated kitchen features new stainless steel appliances, updated fixtures, Campbell solid wood cabinetry and striking Cambria quartz countertops that extend seamlessly along the full wall, creating a clean, modern statement. A pass-through design connects the kitchen to the dining and living areas, enhancing light and flow, with additional built-in cabinetry providing generous storage. The living space is thoughtfully designed with a floating media cabinet, a Samsung Frame TV and a Sonos sound bar included.

Both baths have been fully updated with new cabinetry, tile and countertops and the guest bedroom features an oversized closet with custom built-ins. Tinted glass entry doors throughout the residence add a refined contemporary touch. Residents of Condo on the Bay enjoy a secure, gated environment with 24-hour concierge and security, along with amenities that include two resort-style pools, tennis courts, two fitness rooms, social spaces and a private marina with boat slips available for lease.
