Property Description

Situated within the gated Queens Harbour enclave of Bay Isles, this thoughtfully updated four-bedroom courtyard residence offers a refined blend of privacy, comfort, and waterfront living on Longboat Key. Designed around a lush central courtyard, the home creates an effortless indoor-outdoor flow anchored by a resurfaced swimming pool and new paver deck--an inviting retreat for everyday living or entertaining.

A private cabana suite with its own entrance provides flexibility for guests or extended stays, enhancing the home's functionality while maintaining separation from the main living areas. Entry begins through custom mahogany and glass double doors, opening to a reimagined open-concept interior with soaring 14-foot ceilings, wide-plank wood flooring, and carefully curated architectural detail throughout.

The great room is centered around a travertine-encased electric fireplace and framed by walls of windows and glass sliders that capture tranquil lake views and abundant natural light. This space flows seamlessly into the formal dining area, highlighted by a statement chandelier and tongue-and-groove tray ceiling, and continues into the chef's kitchen--designed as the heart of the home.

The kitchen features a dramatic 14-foot quartz-topped island, custom designer cabinetry by Sarasota Architectural Woodworking, and newer Thermador appliances, including a five-burner gas cooktop, dual built-in ovens, pull-out pantry cabinetry, and a 48-inch stainless sink. Adjacent informal dining and family spaces include aquarium-style glass windows and an oversized wet bar with a full-size wine cooler capable of storing over 100 bottles.

The primary suite, located on the main level, offers a peaceful lakefront setting with French-door access to the patio, custom built-in storage, and a walk-in closet. The spa-inspired bath was recently updated with dual quartz-topped walnut vanities, soaking tub, glass-and-stone shower, and private water closet. Also on the first floor are a versatile study overlooking the courtyard and a bonus room with an attached full bath that can serve as an additional bedroom or media space. The second level is dedicated to a private en-suite guest bedroom.

Queens Harbour residents enjoy access to a heated Olympic-size pool and spa, along with deeded entry to the private Bay Isles Beach Club. Beyond the gates, Longboat Key's lifestyle amenities are just minutes away, including the Longboat Key Club's golf and tennis facilities, marinas, dining, and everyday conveniences. St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota's cultural attractions--shopping, galleries, theaters, and waterfront dining--are easily accessible, completing the appeal of this well-positioned coastal residence.
