Set amid the lush, manicured grounds of Tangerine Bay, this exceptional two-story penthouse residence offers a rare blend of architectural volume, natural light, and water views. Mature tropical landscaping, tranquil lagoons, and resort-style amenities create a serene, park-like environment that feels both private and welcoming. Two terraces highlight scenic views and offer the option of installing a gas grill. Inside, soaring two-story ceilings define the main living area, creating an airy, light-filled atmosphere enhanced by expansive windows that frame picturesque views of the lagoon, resort-style pool w/ waterfall features, tropical plantings and the waters of Sarasota Bay and distant city skyline. The open living and dining spaces are ideal for both relaxed everyday living and entertaining, anchored by a fireplace and generous wall space for art. From the entry patio, unexpected Bay and city views provide a striking first impression and a unique urban-meets-coastal backdrop. The residence features three full bedrooms and three and a half baths. The upper-level retreat with its full bath has a terrace with elevated views across the natural preserve toward the city. This home presents a true blank canvas, thoughtfully priced to allow the new owner to reimagine and transform it into their own vision of refined coastal living. A deeded, private two-car garage adds exceptional convenience and value—an uncommon and highly desirable feature. Located on the coveted south end of Longboat Key, Tangerine Bay Club is a gated, pet-friendly community close to Lido Beach, dining and boutique shopping on St. Armands Circle, and the cultural, dining, and arts scene of downtown Sarasota. Optional Bay Isles Beach Club membership is available, providing exclusive access to a private, gated four-acre Gulf of Mexico beach facility, reserved for a select group of members—ideal for beach gatherings, sunset celebrations, and effortless days by the sea. An outstanding opportunity to embrace the Florida lifestyle in one of Longboat Key’s most desirable bayfront communities.
