One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Experience luxurious downtown living from the 11th floor of the renowned Bay Plaza, offering sweeping, unobstructed views of Sarasota Bay. Perfectly positioned on Palm Avenue-between Main Street and Cocoanut Avenue-this iconic address puts you in the heart of it all. Bay Plaza delivers top-tier amenities including 24-hour concierge service, valet parking, a Contemporary lobby, well-equipped fitness center, library, and a media/meeting room. Relax poolside in the heated swimming pool and spa, or entertain outdoors using outdoor kitchen. Inside, this thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with an additional office space has been upgraded with new impact-rated sliding glass doors and windows, maximizing panoramic bay views from nearly every room. Brazilian cherry hardwood floors flow through the main living areas and bedrooms, setting a warm, elegant tone. The expansive great room opens onto a generous balcony-the perfect spot to catch unforgettable sunsets. The gourmet kitchen is a dream for any culinary enthusiast, featuring travertine marble flooring, granite countertops, custom walnut cabinetry, and premium appliances: KitchenAid refrigerator, double oven, Miele induction cooktop, Wolf microwave drawer, and a glass-door wine fridge. Retreat to a serene primary suite with its own private balcony, custom walk-in closets, and a spa-like en-suite bath showcasing designer porcelain tile, black granite counters, jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower with pebble stone flooring, and private commode. The guest suite offers a clever blend of style and function, with a queen Murphy bed, built-in shelving, and its own custom closet. The guest bath includes a glass-enclosed shower and in-unit washer/dryer setup. Known for its security and prestige, Bay Plaza is among the most desirable buildings in Sarasota. You're steps away from world-class dining, entertainment, the opera, weekend farmers markets, Selby Gardens, and the vibrant Sarasota Bayfront. This is downtown waterfront living at its finest-don't let this rare opportunity pass you by!
