About This Home

As of October 2022

Overlooking 800’ of your own private beach and the Gulf of Mexico, this unit offers direct FULL GULF VIEWS - including a perfect combination of sand, sea, trees and sky. As a 3rd floor unit, it also affords the wonderful luxury of being close enough to the Gulf to hear the SOUND of the surf! A highly desirable END UNIT, it includes an extra window with sunny southern exposure. The beauty of this home is not only in the spectacular views but also in the details. Every aspect of this unit has been thoughtfully considered and beautifully designed. The exquisite kitchen represents an outstanding combination of beauty and function, boasting such exceptional features as Calacatta Laza Quartz countertops, soft white cabinetry, lighted glassed upper cabinets, Kohler Prolific™ Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink with motion sensor faucet, 8' breakfast bar, deep soft close pullout drawers, and recessed & pendant lighting. Stainless appliances include a Samsung French door refrigerator w/filtered water & ice dispenser & full width freezer drawer, a fantastic Fisher & Paykel Double DishDrawer™ dishwasher, and a GE 5 burner cooktop w/exhaust hood & pot filler, & GE built-in oven. The original sliding glass doors between the LR & balcony of this unit have been removed to create a beautiful, uninterrupted flow & extended living space. The interior walls of the balcony have also been pushed back to provide an additional 2’ of width to further enhance its functionality. HURRICANE IMPACT sliders include motorized shades. The master retreat includes an elegant ensuite bath & custom walk-in closet with motion sensor light. Both bathrooms feature a custom glass shower enclosure, shampoo alcove, & deep soft close drawers. A set of solid French doors opens into the guest bedroom, which would also make a great office or den. Additional features include plantation shutters, remote controlled ceiling fans, designer lighting w/dimmer switches, solid paneled interior doors, 2022 tankless water heater, and laminate & tile flooring. This beautiful property is being offered TURNKEY FURNISHED minus the 3 bar stools & a short list of personal items. Whispering Sands is a premiere 55+ Gulf front community next door to Siesta Key Village offering beautifully landscaped grounds, 2 heated pools, clubhouse & Tower Lounge, fitness rooms, Tiki hut, grills, canoe/kayak storage racks, and 800’ of your own private beach on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico!
