Be whisked to the 9th floor for fantastic views of Sarasota. This expansive, almost 3,000 SF condominium makes a statement with the view alone. Unlike a direct gulf view that turns black at night, this home provides both bay and gulf views. See the city lights, Ringling Bridge and even John Ringling's mansion across the bay. If a gulf view is preferred, this home has that as well. All of the living areas feature floor to ceiling windows. Need some fresh air? Take in the sun's rays while basking on your wrap around balcony with nearly 650 SF of space. Awaken to the sunrise in your primary suite and open the doors for access to greet the day from the large patio. This room features a true spa-like ensuite bath, which features two water closets, a garden tub, and glass enclosed shower. There is plenty of room in the spacious primary closet hidden behind the mirrored wall in the bathroom. The secondary bedroom has a walk-in closet and ensuite bath as well as its own balcony. The third bedroom, currently used as an office, also has its own ensuite bath. The kitchen is full of light at the heart of the home and provides access to the dining patio as well as an eat-in dining space and upgraded appliances including a newer sub-zero refrigerator. Mechanically, the home features dual AC units, a large water heater and large laundry room and service entrance. Grand Bay features two large swimming pools, tennis courts, clubhouse, 24 hour guarded gate and membership to the private Bay Isles Beach Club. Deeded beach access is close by, as is shopping and world-renowned restaurants. Membership to the Longboat Key Club and use the adjacent Harborside golf course are always an option.
