Superiorly located in Condo on the Bay, rarely does a renovated penthouse of this significance come to market. Dramatic 180-degree views of Sarasota Bay, downtown and the Ringling Bridge paint a spellbinding picture throughout this custom, European-designed home. Perfecting every detail with thoughtful updates, this sensational residence is offered turnkey furnished (under a separate contract) with tasteful, one-of-a-kind pieces from Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. Owned and curated by an interior designer and artist, hand-painted artwork marries with sharp attention to quality materials. Purpose and beauty have been epitomized, from the Mirage Flair Maple White Mist wood flooring, double plush carpeting, and eye-catching tile to the solid wood specially designed doors with Italian-made handles. Soaring 10' ceilings showcase a wall of glass granting sunlight and water vistas, accentuating the crisp, contemporary aesthetic throughout the penthouse. The great room floorplan has been optimized to offer an intimate space with imported furniture -- designs dating back a century -- blended with a sophisticated nautical essence. Dimmable LED rope lighting behind valances and under cabinetry illuminates the spaces and the new built-in entertainment wall with a 60" Dimplex Ignite XL linear electric fireplace and shelving adds ambiance. The stunning kitchen is a chef's dream overlooking the dining room and bayfront terrace, featuring beautiful granite countertops that carry up the backsplash, custom soft-close cabinetry with pull-outs and intentional storage options, a hidden pantry with built-in shelving and two Zephyr wine coolers, Miele appliances including double built-in ovens with a steam setting and induction glass cooktop, and Sub-Zero overlay French door refrigerator and bottom freezer. Guests will appreciate the second bedroom's full bay view while the primary suite features a private terrace overlooking the bay, LED lighting, and illustrious textured wallpaper; the en-suite bath is a statement of elegance with embroidered wallpaper, floating vanity with under cabinet lighting, and spacious walk-in shower. Both baths include Toto washlets and gorgeous quartz countertops. Mindful of storage, numerous closets are found and equipped with built-in custom shelving for shoes, maintenance items, new Miele washer and dryer with rinse sink, a trutankless water heater, and Kinetico Twin Tank Combination water filter and softener. This home has been further enhanced with UV and heat protection window tinting, hurricane impact sliders, top-of-the-line Campbell cabinetry in the kitchen and baths, Carrier AC with REME HALO whole home in-duct air purification, electric HunterDouglas window shades throughout, and Sonos Sound system. Welcome home to your sanctuary in the sky within Condo on the Bay, providing updated amenities and proximity to beaches and downtown.
