4535 BAY CLUB DRIVE

Enjoy front-row sunset views from this top-floor former builder’s model, with sweeping panoramas of Sarasota Bay and the downtown Sarasota skyline. This single-level residence (no stairs) offers a private elevator that rises from your private two-car garage into your waterfront haven. Enjoy peace of mind with a newly installed tile roof, impact windows, a completed Milestone structural-integrity inspection, and well-funded association reserves (per reserve study). Soaring vaulted ceilings with tongue-and-groove finishes, plantation shutters, and a wood-burning fireplace make the Great Room the heart of this 2,100 sq ft coastal retreat, where natural light and breathtaking bayfront views take center stage. This peninsula-like vantage point ensures extraordinary, uninterrupted views — golden sunsets can be enjoyed from the enclosed patio, the formal dining room, and even while standing at the kitchen sink. The enclosed patio offers amazing flexibility: 350+ sq ft with sliders open for a fresh bay breeze or closed with the dedicated AC split system for comfortable water views in all seasons. You simply must see the downtown Sarasota skyline and Ringling Bridge lit up at night. An updated kitchen with a tasteful coastal ambiance features a custom Italian glass backsplash and premium Bosch dual wall ovens. Tucked away from the entertaining space, the primary suite offers its own water views and a spacious ensuite. The versatile guest bedroom includes a custom Murphy bed built-in — perfect for visiting guests or easily converted back into a quiet home office. For added convenience, the owner refreshed the carpet in both bedrooms, ensuring they are comfortably move-in ready. Various interior storage closets, along with a full-size washer and dryer, provide the comforts of a single-family home. Tucked quietly away from busy downtown or barrier island traffic, you’ll enjoy a natural waterfront experience while being just a 20-minute drive to downtown Sarasota or Anna Maria Island. Conquistador Bay Club is a boutique development with only 28 units spread across five buildings, where residents enjoy a community pool and spa along with private kayak access to the bay. The elevated block construction stood strong through the active 2024 storm season, offering lasting peace of mind for years to come. IMG Golf, waterfront dining, and fitness center are all just a chip shot away, with optional social and fitness membership access for only $600/year. A short drive to SRQ Airport, this residence offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Easy to show — reach out to see the remarkable waterfront views in person!
