Experience the pinnacle of island living in this exquisite 3-bedroom, 3-bath penthouse at Villa di Lancia, a prestigious Gulf-front enclave on Longboat Key. One of only 38 residences in this gated, resort-style community, this rare offering boasts a 195 sq ft balcony with sweeping Gulf views—plus glimpses of Sarasota Bay and the downtown skyline. Meticulously maintained by the original owner and offered turnkey furnished, pride of ownership is evident throughout, and the timeless layout invites your vision for contemporary updates. The views from the main living area and primary suite are simply breathtaking, and there is a large covered portion of the balcony to provide shade if needed. The unit has a natural gas fireplace and cooktop, solid core doors, wood cabinetry and stone counters throughout, and a ceiling height of 9’ 9”. The second bedroom has a walk in closet and ensuite bathroom, plantation shutters, and expansive views across the golf course to Sarasota Bay. The third bedroom is currently used as a den, but could be easily restored to a third bedroom. It also has golf course and bay views. The kitchen is well designed with shaker style cabinetry, granite countertops, a central island with pull out drawers and a planning desk, but there is good potential to expand or reimagine as desired. Villa di Lancia residents enjoy direct beach access, lushly landscaped grounds, a staffed gatehouse, and an impressive suite of amenities: har-tru tennis courts (also striped for pickleball), a fitness center, sauna, resort-style pool, hot tub, and elegant clubhouse for social gatherings. Onsite property management, maintenance, and concierge-level services ensure carefree living. Just minutes from the world-class shopping and dining of St. Armands Circle and the vibrant arts scene of Downtown Sarasota, Villa di Lancia offers the perfect blend of privacy, luxury, and convenience. This unit has one assigned garage parking space which is deep enough to fit two vehicles and a private storage unit. EV charging station on site.
