Description

Unparalleled Gulf-front luxury awaits in this rare, third-floor residence at the exclusive En Provence on Longboat Key. With only 21 residences in this sought-after community, this exceptional home offers the privacy of a single-family home combined with resort-style amenities. Spanning nearly 3,500 square feet, this beach getaway shares the floor with just one other residence and features a private, resident-only elevator leading directly from the two-car garage to a grand double-door entry. Panoramic sunset views over the Gulf of Mexico take center stage from the expansive 30-foot beachfront terrace, complete with a summer kitchen and glass railings that maximize the breathtaking scenery. Inside, an open-concept layout seamlessly blends refined living and dining spaces with floor-to-ceiling sliders opening to the terrace. The gourmet kitchen overlooks the family room and is designed with all-white custom cabinetry, a Butler’s pantry, planning desk, and a cozy breakfast nook. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, featuring uninterrupted Gulf views, terrace access, a massive custom walk-in closet, and spa-inspired en-suite with dual vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Two guest bedroom suites are tucked away on the opposite side of the residence, each with their own en-suite baths, walk-in closets, and access to the east-facing balcony. The versatile third bedroom, currently used as a den, adds to the home’s functional layout. Set on six acres of meticulously landscaped beachfront property, En Provence provides a 24-hour manned gatehouse, on-site management, and concierge services. The community’s Gulf-side deck features a heated swimming pool, spa, and trellis-shaded seating areas. Residents enjoy exclusive access to a clubhouse with a lounge, private dining room, catering kitchen, fitness center, juice bar, and dual locker rooms. A private boardwalk leads directly to the pristine shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Located just minutes from St. Armands Circle’s world-class shopping and dining, the Longboat Key Club’s championship golf courses, and the vibrant arts and culture of downtown Sarasota, this beachfront retreat offers the ultimate blend of sophistication and serenity.
