Welcome to WORLD CLASS GULF OF MEXICO VIEWS from this 6th floor, 2 bedroom/2 bath, North Tower residence in the premiere, GULF FRONT property of Whispering Sands on Siesta Key! Overlooking 800' of your own white quartz sand beach and the soothing, aquamarine waves of the Gulf of Mexico, this unit will dazzle you with its stunning, 180 degree FULL GULF VIEWS - rivaling any other water view you've ever seen anywhere. Perfectly positioned on a middle floor of this 12 story tower, this extremely well maintained unit could be considered a blank slate. Move right in and then take your time deciding how you'd like to make it your own. Here's your chance to dream. Immerse yourself in your own personal style instead of inheriting someone else's. These owners have taken care of the important things. The investment in hurricane protection has already been made for you. Complete sets of sturdy, interior hurricane impact sliding glass doors opening from the living room and master bedroom onto your tiled open air balcony provide total peace of mind - especially when you're away. Your additional savings come in the form of a brand NEW 2022 water heater and a NEW 2019 HVAC system. Beautiful NEW 2024 CARPET was just installed in living room, dining room and bedrooms. Selected furniture may also be available. Situated on the quiet, northern end of Siesta Key, this unit offers the best of all worlds: a Gulf front property in a pristine complex full of amenities, conveniently located right around the corner from the great shops & restaurants of Siesta Key Village. After enjoying a healthy day of swimming, working out in the fitness rooms, or relaxing at the beach, grab a quick shower and venture next door to your favorite restaurant in the Village - and then come back & enjoy a world famous Siesta Key sunset over the Gulf in the quiet company of neighbors on the beach or from your own private balcony. When it's time to turn in, open the sliders and pull out the screen panels and allow the gentle sound of the breaking waves under a blanket of stars to peacefully lull you to sleep. Whispering Sands is a highly desirable 55+ Gulf front community on Siesta Key offering beautifully landscaped grounds, security, onsite association manager, secure key fob access to the buildings & facilities, 2 heated pools, 2 fitness rooms, main clubhouse, the GULF FRONT Tower Lounge - available EXCLUSIVELY to tower owners (outside of community wide events), beachside grills, Tiki hut, shuffleboard, & canoe/kayak storage, and 800' of your own private beach on the Gulf of Mexico! With easy access to the North Bridge, it's also just a short drive to Sarasota's wealth of visual and performing arts, theatre, and cultural attractions!
