Wake up to Sarasota Bay from nearly every room. This fifth-floor corner residence is wrapped in glass, so the water, the John Ringling Causeway, and Lido and Longboat Keys beyond become part of everyday life, from morning coffee to the last light of sunset. The 1,729-square-foot floor plan opens the living room wide to the bay, with two covered terraces totaling 147 square feet. Off the dining area, the larger terrace is made for slow breakfasts and evenings outside as boats glide past the docks below. The kitchen is built for entertaining, with rich wood cabinetry, glass-front uppers, stone counters, a paneled refrigerator, wall oven, two beverage coolers, and a breakfast bar that seats four. Two true suites offer privacy: the primary opens to the second terrace and has room for a sitting area or office, plus a bath with dual sinks and a glass walk-in shower, while the guest suite has a walk-in closet and its own bath with vessel sinks and a mosaic-accented shower. A full-size washer and dryer, an assigned garage space, and a private storage locker are the conveniences that make downtown living effortless. Condo on the Bay Tower II provides a 24-hour gatehouse, concierge, bayfront pools, fitness centers, saunas, lighted pickleball and tennis courts, a fishing pier, and a private boat basin. Step out to the Van Wezel, The Bay Park, and downtown dining, or cross the causeway to St. Armands Circle and the beaches in minutes. Book your sunset showing and make this view your own.
