1918 HARBOURSIDE DRIVE 902

Welcome to a masterfully reimagined two-bedroom, 2.5-bath furnished town home offering breathtaking, full open views of Sarasota Bay and the vibrant city skyline with its private boat slip. Arguably the most exquisite residence in the esteemed Fairway Bay community at Bay Isles on Longboat Key. The property underwent a meticulous down-to-the-studs renovation in 2020 that included filling in the 100 square foot atrium on the second floor, blending high-end craftsmanship with its unparalleled waterfront setting. The interior is a showcase of custom artistry, featuring warm wood ceilings, solid White Oak stairway treads, an elegant custom iron stairway railing, inset cabinets, Sonos sound system and a Lutron smart lighting system for effortless ambiance control. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, anchored by a custom White Oak island with quartz tops, Fisher Paykel built-in appliances, and charming built-in banquet seating breakfast niche. Sophisticated touches continue throughout, including a custom iron wine rack, grass wallpaper, designer light fixtures and sleek tile flooring in every room. Retreat to the primary suite, where soaring wood ceilings and a custom walk-in closet provide a sanctuary of comfort. The bath is light, bright and features a furniture-quality inset vanity and an enclosed wet room complete with a standalone soaking tub. The other bedroom on the second floor also has an en-suite bath that features furniture-quality vanity and beautiful walk-in shower. The second-floor laundry with full size LG front-loaded machines makes doing laundry a breeze. For ultimate peace of mind, the home features an impact-rated bayfront living room window and rear exterior door, complemented by a Garrison Hammerhead Aluminum Flood Barrier System installed in 2025. This system includes reinforced cement pilings just inside the garage door with easy-to-use slide-in aluminum slats designed to prevent water intrusion. As part of the Bay Isles community, residents enjoy world-class amenities including 24-hour gated security, swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and exclusive access to the private Bay Isles Beach Club. Just minutes from the cultural heart of downtown Sarasota and upscale shopping of St. Armands Circle, this home offers a lifestyle of effortless elegance.
