One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Perched just one floor below the penthouse in the sought-after Grand Bay IV community on Longboat Key, this 2,550-sq.-ft. Cayman floor plan offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the Grand Bay lifestyle immediately-while still allowing a future owner to complete their personal renovation plans once the building's elevator modernization is finished. The furniture rental will extend for up to one year, giving the buyer time to enjoy the residence while preparing for future customization or construction. With ideal north-south exposure, this residence captures breathtaking sunrises over Sarasota Bay and stunning Gulf sunsets from two expansive terraces. Walls of glass and abundant natural light enhance the open-concept layout, which includes 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a den that can easily be reconfigured to include a walk-in closet. The primary suite opens directly to the Bayfront terrace, the second bedroom offers an en-suite bath and private Gulf-view balcony, and the den, kitchen, and third bedroom share access to a second terrace for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Two prime, side-by-side parking spaces on the upper main level sit conveniently next to the elevator, leading to a private elevator foyer. Residents of Grand Bay enjoy world-class amenities including 24-hour security, a clubhouse with library and game room, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, two heated pools and a spa, and deeded access to the exclusive Bay Isles Beach Club.
