Courtyard residences in Queens Harbour are a rare find, and this impeccably recently updated five-bedroom waterfront home is move-in ready, offering a seamless blend of privacy, elegance, and coastal luxury. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the residence is centered around a lushly landscaped courtyard, where a newly resurfaced swimming pool, spa, and new paver deck create an inviting retreat. The private cabana suite, just steps from the main home, enhances the property’s charm and functionality. A set of eight-foot solid mahogany double doors opens into the grand foyer of the main residence, where soaring 20-foot cathedral ceilings, new engineered wood flooring, all new custom lighting, and hurricane-rated sliding doors and windows define the nearly 4,200-square-foot interior. The sophisticated neutral palette is a timeless backdrop, while built-ins and architectural details add depth and character. The formal living and dining rooms with venetian plaster ceiling flow effortlessly, offering an ideal setting for entertaining. The chef’s kitchen, completely renovated in 2021, is a culinary masterpiece featuring custom shaker-style cabinetry with glass cutouts and under-cabinet lighting, quartz countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances. A six-burner Wolf gas stove with double ovens, a 36-inch built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, twin bottom freezers, an expansive island, and a breakfast bar illuminated by stylish pendant lighting create a functional yet refined space. Overlooking both the dining room and family room, this area is enhanced by courtyard views, flooding the space with natural light. Offering flexibility, the home features two master suites—one on each level. The first-floor retreat is a secluded sanctuary, with serene waterfront views, walk-in closets, and newly renovated en-suite bath. Glass French doors open to a private patio, further extending the indoor-outdoor connection. An office with stunning courtyard aquarium-glass views and a guest suite complete the main level. A striking wood staircase leads to the upper-level master suite, which mirrors the downstairs retreat with a beautifully renovated en-suite bathroom and private balcony overlooking the harbor. An additional en-suite guest bedroom, also with a walk-in closet, is positioned nearby. The separate cabana, currently styled as a den, serves as the fifth bedroom and offers private guest accommodations. French doors and sliding glass open to the courtyard, allowing visitors to enjoy their own secluded oasis. For boating enthusiasts, the east-facing waterfront is a true highlight. Nearly 100 feet of water frontage includes a 60-foot dock with two lifts (25,000 lbs. and 5,000 lbs.), 50-amp electrical service, water, and dock lighting. Direct access to the bay and Gulf ensures endless adventures on the water. Queens Harbour is an exclusive gated enclave within Bay Isles. Residents enjoy a heated Olympic-sized swimming pool and spa, along with deeded access to the private Bay Isles Beach Club. Beyond the gates, the best of Longboat Key is just minutes away. The Longboat Key Club offers championship golf, world-class tennis, and waterfront dining, while the nearby Publix shopping plaza provides everyday conveniences. A short drive leads to the renowned boutiques and restaurants of St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota. With its premier location, thoughtful updates, and unparalleled waterfront lifestyle, this stunning home is a true gem on Longboat Key.
