Longboat Key Towers Sold

I love these condos and have sold a couple of units here. These are the Longboat Key Towers condos on the south end of the island. The great thing about these two buildings is that the units go from the west side of the building to the east side providing lovely views of the beach and Gulf of Mexico as well as the Longboat Key Club golf course and if high enough the Sarasota bay and city skyline.

This unit was a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2,420 square foot condo on the 12th floor. It was completely remodeled. The asking price was $1,995,500 and the final sales price was $1,675,000 (public record).
