1135 GULF OF MEXICO DRIVE 605 Set atop Beachplace on the coveted south end of Longboat Key, this beautifully remodeled 2BR/2BA PENTHOUSE offers 1, 500+/- sq. ft. of refined Gulf-front living, complete with two deeded parking spaces. An elegant glass entry door opens to a foyer where wood plank tile flooring and clean, neutral finishes guide you toward breathtaking Gulf views framed by a full wall of Hurricane Rated sliders in the living room. Reimagined in 2023, the residence blends crisp modern design with warm, natural tones that echo the shoreline just beyond the glass. Tray ceilings and recessed lighting add depth and polish while keeping the focus on the view. The kitchen is both sleek and inviting, featuring all-white cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting, a tile backsplash and a breakfast bar that connects seamlessly to the dining area. A window offers a subtle glimpse of Sarasota Bay, adding another layer of light and perspective. The living room opens to an expansive beachfront terrace where the sights and sounds of the Gulf become part of everyday life. From morning light to evening skies, this outdoor space delivers the feeling of a private resort right on the sand. The primary suite is a true retreat, wrapped in glass with direct terrace access and beach views. The bath is spacious and beautifully finished with dual vanities, an all-white palette, a walk-in shower and a separate water closet. The guest suite is equally inviting with its own en-suite bath, making it ideal for family or visitors.
