A rare combination of sophistication, comfort, and coastal beauty, this residence defines modern Gulf front luxury living. Every detail of this 2022 remodel reflects the finest in contemporary design and craftsmanship. The open concept interior is graced with beautiful wide plank tile flooring, seamlessly connecting living, dining, and kitchen spaces to the endless blue horizon beyond. True floor-to-ceiling 2020 hurricane impact sliders open to mesmerizing Gulf vistas, enhanced by Hunter Douglas motorized light-filtering shades for effortless ambiance control.

The serene primary suite is equally refined, featuring a spa-inspired ensuite tiled bath with Cambria quartz dual vanity and glassed walk-in shower. The guest bath echoes the same refined elegance. FURNITURE AND FURNISHINGS including Robb & Stucky pieces are included with the sale of the property, minus a small exclusion list. Whispering Sands is a premiere 55+ Gulf front property offering resort style living with two heated pools, a clubhouse and a Gulf front Tower Lounge - both of which are currently undergoing complete remodeling - beachside Tiki Hut, grills, canoe/kayak storage, & 800' of private beach on the Gulf. Ideally located right next to the dining and charm of Siesta Key Village, this unit is also just a short drive across the North Bridge to Sarasota's wealth of world class visual and performing arts, theatre, and cultural attractions!
