About this home

Discover the relaxed elegance of waterfront living at Dolphin Bay, one of Siesta Key’s desirable gated condominium communities. Enjoy beautiful views of Sarasota Bay from this spacious two-bedroom, two-bath residence offering 1,915 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, complemented by multiple outdoor areas that invite you to embrace the coastal lifestyle. Bright, welcoming interiors feature an expansive living and dining area, a separate family room, and a beautifully refreshed kitchen with white quartz countertops, freshly painted cabinetry and an inviting breakfast bar. A unique and thoughtful feature is the remote-controlled privacy screen that separates the family room from the kitchen, creating a comfortable, temporary guest retreat when needed. This versatile space offers added flexibility for visiting family and friends while preserving the home's open, inviting design. Hard-surface flooring flows throughout, while the split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy and comfort, with both bedrooms featuring en-suite baths. The generous covered rear lanai extends the living space outdoors, offering peaceful views of the tropical grounds and sparkling bay beyond. A covered front terrace and additional sunning deck provide even more opportunities to enjoy Siesta Key's beautiful weather. Additional highlights include a private one-car garage beneath the building, ample guest parking, and a new HVAC system and water heater installed in 2024. Dolphin Bay offers an exceptional combination of waterfront beauty and resort-style amenities, including a clubhouse, swimming pool, spa, tennis courts, fitness center and day dock. This gated, pet-friendly community enjoys a convenient location near Siesta Key's celebrated beaches, with the island trolley just outside the entrance connecting you to the restaurants, shopping and entertainment of Siesta Village. Whether enjoying a quiet morning overlooking the water, entertaining friends or spending the afternoon at the beach, this inviting residence captures the comfort, versatility and effortless enjoyment of the Siesta Key lifestyle.
