The original owners of this condo had 1st pick of the mid-rises at Fairway Bay when it was developed and it’s easy to see why they chose this unit. Full unobstructed and private views of the Intracoastal Waterway, Sarasota Bay and the city skyline from the protected balcony, where dolphins, manatees, and fish glide through and around the mangroves—nature’s daily show right outside. Inside, this immaculately maintained, never-rented condo is a blank canvas, ready for your personal touches, however, recently both bedroom closets were professionally redone, it was freshly painted and new luxury vinyl floors were installed. The living space is filled with natural light, showcasing the stunning bay/city views. The primary suite offers direct water views, while the second bedroom provides a comfortable retreat for guests. This residence includes 1 coveted under-building parking space. The mid-rise buildings feature their own pool, while the larger Fairway Bay community offers a vibrant lifestyle with access to The Bay Isles Beach Club, scenic walking trails, heated pools, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, a clubhouse, and kayak launches. For even more amenities, an optional Longboat Key Club membership provides access to championship golf, Har-Tru tennis courts, a spa, fine dining, and a 291-slip deep-water marina. 1.3 miles to Publix, CVS. 4 miles to St. Armand’s Circle. 6 miles to Downtown Sarasota. 10 miles to SRQ Airport. A rare opportunity to own a prime bayfront condo with deeded & private beach access and knockout views in one of Longboat Key’s most desirable communities.
