448 GULF OF MEXICO DRIVE A205

Set within an intimate 39-residence waterfront enclave, this Bay Harbour retreat captures the essence of refined island living. Framed by swaying palms and 720 feet of shimmering Sarasota Bay frontage, the community feels like a private tropical sanctuary, where beautiful sunrises paint the sky and waterfowl dive gracefully for fish along the shoreline. Boaters will appreciate the ideal marina location, offering a quick, scenic ride to the Gulf of Mexico. The marina is fully equipped with electrical service, fresh water and a fish-cleaning station, while the seawall provides front-row views of dolphins and playful manatees. A kayak launch adds even more ways to enjoy life on the water. Inside, this spacious two-bedroom, two-bath residence spans 1,300-plus square feet of light-filled living with captivating views of Bay Harbour Marina and Sarasota Bay. Both bedrooms feature walk-in closets, and the kitchen blends style and function with wood cabinetry with glass fronts, stainless-steel appliances, solid-surface countertops and tile flooring throughout. The generous primary suite offers an en-suite bath and a peaceful vantage point overlooking the turquoise bay waters. Offered furnished, the home includes an in-unit washer and dryer, covered assigned parking, ample guest parking and elevator access. Bay Harbour’s amenities elevate the experience with a heated pool, grilling area and first-come boat slips accommodating vessels up to 42 feet. Owners may have one pet.
