About this home
Welcome to Beachplace #1-503, a coveted fifth-floor direct Gulf-front getaway in Building 1, offering panoramic beach and Gulf views from one of Longboat Key’s most desirable waterfront communities. Encompassing 1,503 square feet of interior living space, this two-bedroom, two-bath residence delivers front-row access to turquoise waters and spectacular sunset skies.
Extensively updated, this residence features oversized diagonal tile flooring throughout, enhancing flow and visual continuity. Impact windows, sliders, and doors were installed in 2017, providing added peace of mind. The open-concept kitchen was thoughtfully redesigned to maximize Gulf views, showcasing rich solid-wood cabinetry in a mahogany finish, granite countertops, tile backsplash, breakfast bar, and stainless-steel appliances. This modernized culinary space connects effortlessly to the dining area and great room, ideal for entertaining while overlooking the beach.
The primary suite occupies the northwest corner to capture sweeping water views and evening sunsets. French door access to the terrace and an updated en-suite bath with quartz surfaces, dual sinks, and a glass-enclosed shower create a private retreat. The guest bedroom is positioned on the east side of the residence, also en-suite, offering comfort and privacy for visitors.
Positioned beneath the penthouse extended terrace above, the covered Gulf-front balcony provides shaded outdoor living—an ideal vantage point for year-round enjoyment of the shoreline. Walls of impact-rated glass sliders open from the living room directly to the terrace, creating a seamless connection to the water and filling the interior with natural light.
Beachplace is a gated Gulf-front community with 24-hour guard security, on-site management, and resort-style amenities. Residents enjoy a heated beachfront swimming pool and spa, clubhouse, fitness center, Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, and a private boardwalk to access the beach. Assigned parking and elevator access add convenience to this elevated mid-rise building.
Located on the southern end of Longboat Key, Beachplace offers immediate access to the Longboat Key Club’s golf and tennis facilities (requires separate membership), nearby marinas, and the boutiques and restaurants of St. Armands Circle. Downtown Sarasota is just minutes away, where theaters, galleries, waterfront parks, and renowned dining complete the lifestyle. Whether enjoying a morning walk along the Gulf or an evening performance downtown, this direct beachfront residence places the very best of Sarasota living within easy reach....
