BREATHTAKING waterfront PANORAMAS are yours each day in this stunning condo. Three different angles on the bay — from the spacious living room, the master suite and the 2nd bedroom --make this residence a MUST-SEE. The 2 nd bedroom, with its built-in bookcases, is ideal for a study or guest room. The condo overlooks the MOST EXQUISITE portion of Sarasota bay, midway between exotic Selby Gardens and Marina Jack. It’s a spectacle UNMATCHED even by multi-million dollar condos and luxury suites at the Ritz Carlton. MAGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS of the bay unfold throughout the day – from morning’s blue radiance to afternoon’s silvery sheen, dusk’s soothing indigo, and sunset’s spectacle of orange and azure. On radiant days, the condo evokes MONET’S WATERSCAPES filled with sailboats. Realtors and visitors call it a GEM -- AS GOOD AS IT GETS for bayfront living. One would have to travel to the French Riviera to find anything comparable. 7 th floor UNOBSTRUCTED COMMANDING VIEWS. This level is considered the OPTIMAL HEIGHT for waterfront gazing. THE VISTAS ENCOMPASS IT ALL -- three keys (Lido, Siesta and Bird Keys), Italianate villas bordering Bird Key, luxuriant Island Park with its waterfront dining terraces, the yacht harbor, and the palm-lined promenade girding the bay; the glamorous downtown skyline, the bridge to St. Armand’s Circle, and Big Pass at the end of Lido Key, opening into the Gulf of Mexico. Hard to not be mesmerized by the play of light upon the bay and towering palms weaving in the wind. Sliding floor-to-ceiling windows in living room have STATE-OF-THE-ART HURRICANE- PROOF materials; mirrored master bedroom wall enhances the panoramic drama; purified water filter in sleek kitchen; beautiful pool landscaped for maximum privacy; exercise room and library. The building -- called “VERTICAL VILLAGE†for its congenial spirit -- hosts Friday night mingles by the pool, book groups, and more. 24/7 CONCIERGE SERVICE— unusual even in luxury condo buildings downtown – means you are ALWAYS SECURE (with a panel of state- of-the-art security monitors). A veteran full-time manager possesses VAST EXPERTISE in sustaining meticulous maintenance and the highest quality of life. SURROUNDINGS Just outside is PALM AVENUE is downtown’s MOST ELEGANT promenade, lined with galleries, boutiques, fine dining and arched porticoes. Spanish Mission architecture and wrought iron balconies evoke the charm of Old Europe. It’s a 5 min. walk to MAIN STREET’S PIZZAZZ -- international fine dining, cafes, galleries, haute couture shopping, the Opera House and Burns Court Cinema. The latter is the city’s premier venue for international classics, festivals and independent films. Lushly landscaped St. Armand’s Circle, just beyond a stunning bridge, is A TROPICAL ENCLAVE for fab shopping and cuisine par excellence. Gorgeous mansions everywhere. The Circle leads to LIDO BEACH, ranked as one of the world’s MOST SEDUCTIVE, with its crystalline water and vast stretches of white sand.
