Description

RARE OPPORTUNITY to own this beautifully remodeled, TURNKEY furnished fifth floor, PENTHOUSE, with soaring cathedral ceilings and incredible, UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWS OF THE INTRACOASTAL, one of only five units like it in Dolphin Bay! This stunning condo offers luxury living in one of Siesta Keys most sought-after gated, dog friendly communities. Only the top floor boasts these dramatic ceilings, vaulted in the living and dining areas, primary suite, and lanai. Relax in the lanai with either open air or hurricane sliders, as dolphins swim by and boats glide past. The chef’s kitchen is a dream – both stylish and smartly designed. It features high-end appliances, custom solid wood cabinetry with clever built-ins, two wine fridges, a separate bar area, and a spacious island with striking granite counters and backsplash. Plantation shutters adorn the sliders to the front patio from the additional sitting/den area in the kitchen. Wake up to sunrise views from the primary bedroom and back porch, enjoy sunset skies from the front. The primary suite overlooks the water and includes a walk-in closet and ensuite bath with dual vanities, plus dedicated makeup vanity and walk-in shower. The guest bedroom includes a walk in closet and has a slider to its own front patio to enjoy beach breezes. HURRICANE RATED windows and sliders offer peace of mind, and a PRIVATE GARAGE (rare on Siesta Key!) offers secure parking and extra storage. Premium engineered hardwood floors and solid core doors throughout. HVAC Jan 2021. Dolphin Bay is a friendly, social community with fantastic amenities: three tennis courts, a fitness center, heated pool and spa, clubhouse, and day dock. It’s easy to connect and make new friends with all the social activities available. Located across the street from the world-famous Siesta Key Beach. Hop on the free open air Siesta Key trolley that stops outside the gates to enjoy boutique shopping and dining options from the village all the way down to Turtle beach!
