Description
Experience full gulf-front views and the lifestyle of island living on the world-renowned Siesta Key beach. This beautiful fifth-floor end-unit residence is in the south tower of Whispering Sands, a community in the heart of Siesta Key Village. This property offers the ideal blend of serenity and convenience. Residents enjoy private beach access and 800 feet of quartz sand beach, yet you are just a short distance from all the shops, boutiques and restaurants of the village. With open-air hallway corridors, you will feel the island breeze as you enter the front door of the residence. An abundance of natural light immediately welcomes you from the windows and large wall of glass sliders in the living and dining area, designed to showcase the dreamy turquoise water views of the Gulf. This two-bedroom, two-bath unit features light and bright neutral tones providing a warm yet coastal feel. The highlight of this unit is the 25-foot terrace accessible through two sets of hurricane/impact rated floor-to-ceiling glass sliders with remote-controlled shades. Here is where you will want to sit, relax and take in the expansive and postcard-worthy beach views. The kitchen has been upgraded with granite countertops, breakfast bar, new cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a built-in desk area and a closet pantry. From your primary suite, you will enjoy views of the turquoise water by day and golden sunsets by night through the floor-to-ceiling glass sliders. This cozy retreat also offers an updated en-suite bath, generous walk-in closet and a wall of custom built-in drawers. The guest bedroom is versatile and large enough for two queen beds or could be used as a den or home office. Whispering Sands is a 55-plus community and is resort-inspired, featuring two heated pools with new travertine decks, canoe/kayak storage, shuffleboard, a beachside tiki hut with barbecue grills and lush landscaped grounds. The main clubhouse, featuring a fitness center, community room and lounge area, is undergoing a complete remodel with an expected completion date of late 2026. When you are ready to venture out beyond the sandy beaches, you'll be just a short drive to downtown Sarasota and its world-class arts, dining and culture scene. This property is more than just a condominium, it's a lifestyle. Come live it today!
