Description

Rarely does a Gulf-front residence of this caliber become available within Aria, an ultra-exclusive enclave of just 16 residences on Longboat Key. Set along 300 feet of private shoreline, this extraordinary property offers an exceptional opportunity to experience true beachfront luxury in one of Sarasota’s most sought-after communities, complete with a newly added video tour. Beyond the gated entrance, Aria unveils a serene setting with lush native landscaping, tranquil walking paths, and the historic Villa am Meer, a beautifully restored 1935 seaside mansion serving as the community’s social centerpiece. Spanning nearly 4,000 square feet, this residence is accessed via a private elevator opening to a grand foyer and expansive, light-filled interiors with newly refreshed cabinetry throughout. The open-concept floor plan seamlessly connects living and dining spaces with a gourmet chef’s kitchen equipped with quartz surfaces and top-tier Wolf and Miele appliances. Walls of floor-to-ceiling glass and soaring ceilings capture sweeping Gulf views, while expansive wraparound terraces offer the perfect backdrop for sunsets and coastal breezes. The primary suite serves as a luxury sanctuary with dual baths connected by a rare, oversized walk-in shower, complemented by two guest ensuite bedrooms, a dedicated office or fourth bedroom, and a versatile bonus room. This residence includes a private, oversized two-car dehumidified garage, with access to Aria’s beachfront pool and spa, fitness and yoga studios, massage room, private wine cellar, and full-time onsite caretaker.
