From sunrises over Sarasota Bay to breathtaking sunsets across the Gulf of Mexico, this sixth-floor residence at Promenade captures the panoramic water views that define Longboat Key living. Positioned along the sought-after southern end of the island, this beautifully maintained two-bedroom residence spans more than 1,800 square feet (the largest of the two-bedroom layouts in the community) and enjoys sweeping vistas of turquoise Gulf waters, Sarasota Bay, and the resort-style grounds below.
An extended foyer entry welcomes you into the open layout designed to maximize both natural light and water views.
