About this home

Virtually Staged. Tucked within the highly sought after Queens Harbour enclave of Bay Isles, this exceptional residence captures the effortless elegance and relaxed sophistication of the Longboat Key lifestyle. Queens Harbour offers the rare combination of single-family living with a low-maintenance lifestyle, including landscaping, irrigation, and exterior painting. Grand double entry doors open to nearly 3,000 square feet of beautifully refreshed interiors, where soaring 12- to 15-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, serene water views, and refined architectural details create an immediate sense of space and tranquility. Newly installed wood-look porcelain tile flows throughout the living and dining rooms, den, and first-floor bedrooms, bringing warmth and continuity to the home. At the heart of the residence, the newly renovated kitchen pairs sophisticated design with exceptional functionality. Quartz countertops, a dramatic waterfall island, second prep sink, new backsplash, and stainless steel appliances create an inviting space for cooking and entertaining. An adjoining breakfast nook is framed by a bay window overlooking the pool and lake. The thoughtfully designed split floor plan features three private en-suite bedrooms, a powder room, and an elegant den or office with custom cabinetry that may also serve as a fourth bedroom. The first-floor owner’s suite enjoys direct lanai access and tranquil lake views, complemented by a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and spacious walk-in shower. A second en-suite bedroom on the main level provides privacy and comfort for guests. The upper level features an additional en-suite bedroom and flexible living area, creating a secluded retreat ideal for guests, extended stays, or multigenerational living. Outdoors, the expansive screened lanai embraces the home’s peaceful waterfront setting. A heated pool and spa overlook the lake and fountain, while a generous covered sitting area with tongue-and-groove ceiling and coordinating accent wall provides an inviting setting for entertaining or relaxing. A 2023 tile roof adds to the home’s thoughtful updates and long-term appeal. Ownership in Bay Isles includes access to the private Bay Isles Beach Club and its pristine Gulf shoreline. Optional membership to the Longboat Key Club offers golf, tennis, dining, resort amenities, and access to Harbourside Marina. Ideally situated in the heart of Longboat Key, the home is convenient to the shops and everyday amenities of Bay Isles, with St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota’s acclaimed dining, arts, and cultural offerings just a scenic drive away. Boating, kayaking, fishing, waterfront dining, and some of Florida’s most beautiful beaches are all within easy reach. A refined island residence offering the privacy of a single-family home, the ease of low-maintenance living, and the exceptional lifestyle that defines Bay Isles and Longboat Key.
