About 550 Harbor Point Road
Walter Group worked with the Dallas-based buyers of this incredible Bay Isles Harbor estate to facilitate an off-market purchase. Walter Group worked extensively with the out of town buyers to define requirements when it became clear that there was nothing on the market suitable for their needs. After touring from Casey Key to Anna Maria Island (by land and sea), Walter group established a short-list of potential properties, and were able to enter a negotiation with the owners of this exquisite home to close before Thanksgiving so the buyers could entertain friends and family for Thanksgiving dinner. Beautifully appointed and exceptionally styled 5BR/5.5 BA estate with over 6,000 sq. ft. of living area and 156’ of prime deep-water frontage in one of Longboat Key’s premier single-family home enclaves. Attention to detail and an appreciation of fine craftsmanship encompasses every aspect of this landmark residence, which was designed and positioned to showcase unparalleled views out to the open water of Sarasota Bay. The stately paver drive leads to the voluminous 5-car garage and soaring 3-story façade, as the gorgeous double-door entry invites you inside to the dramatic array of touches in the main living areas, including porcelain tile, engineered hardwood floors, rich woodwork, a grand staircase and striking ceiling accents. Opening to the great room, the kitchen is equally fabulous, with 2 islands, solid surface counters to complement the white cabinetry, gas Wolfe cooktop, double sinks, 2 refrigerators and an eat-in area embellished by panoramic windows to the waters beyond. The master suite is large, luxurious and comfortable, with south and west water views, while the 1st-floor bedroom could serve as a second master suite. Entertain on any scale, as the interior seamlessly flows outside, where covered sitting areas, fully equipped summer kitchen, open pool & spa, and dockage to suit any vessel await. Residents of Bay Isles live behind the security of 2 gates and enjoy access to a world of exciting amenities, including the renowned Gulf-front beach club.
