Nearly every surface has been thoughtfully reimagined, resulting in a home defined by refined elegance, modern comfort, and exceptional functionality. Upon entry, a luminous interior and open floor plan immediately draw the eye toward unobstructed westerly water vistas of Sarasota Bay. Located in the south tower on the eighth floor, this residence enjoys one of the building’s most coveted exposures, delivering expansive views and abundant natural light throughout the day. Sunlight moves gracefully across the interiors, enhancing volume, warmth, and connection to the surrounding coastal landscape. Wide-plank flooring in a soft, neutral palette flows throughout the residence, creating visual cohesion and understated sophistication. High-end CoreTec luxury vinyl plank flooring offers the look of wood with durability and comfort underfoot, while accented baseboards elevate the finished presentation. The home has been fully renovated with designer light fixtures, ceiling fans, updated plumbing fixtures, and Hunter Douglas automatic blinds in the living room. Rich quartz countertops in the kitchen and baths establish a cohesive contemporary aesthetic, while the stainless-steel appliance package, including a French-style KitchenAid refrigerator, anchors the kitchen with beauty and performance. A walk-in laundry room is complemented by an additional flexible space just off the kitchen, ideal for organized storage or a generous pantry, a rarely found feature unique to this floor plan. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a thoughtfully designed en-suite bath featuring a large walk-in shower, linen closet, and dual anti-fog LED mirrors. Both baths showcase custom tile work, glass shower panels, and creative niches reflective of the building’s architectural design. The second bedroom, equally suited as a den or office, is generously sized and features two windows with Sarasota Bay views, an attribute shared by every room in the residence. Alinari is a classic contemporary 18-story luxury high-rise offering refined plazas, fountains, a private recreational parcel, and resort-style amenities.

The building features key-card entry, a redesigned lobby, 24-hour on-site security and full front-desk services. Located in Flood Zone X and outside the floodplain, Alinari was engineered with reinforced concrete construction and deep pilings, with the lobby and guest parking elevated approximately 17 feet above base sea level. This residence includes a climate-controlled assigned storage unit and two garage parking spaces on the second and third levels, placing vehicles more than 30 feet above sea level. The association maintains strong reserves with no current or upcoming assessments. Amenities include on-site management, secured parking, a resort-style pool, hot tub, grilling area, club room, wine room, fitness center, saunas, business center, resident theater and on-site guest suites. Perfectly situated within Sarasota’s cultural district, Alinari is moments from world-class arts, dining, waterfront promenades, and vibrant social experiences, with the Sarasota Bay Park project underway with a new bayfront greenspace with pier and more. Downtown Sarasota living meets walkable coastal.

This unique and serene home offers plenty of space to live and entertain comfortably, and is located in a sought-after "West of the Trail" neighborhood just 2 miles north of Downtown Sarasota. Multiple living/family rooms provide options as to how to put your own design spin on it. The split layout affords privacy with two beds and a bath to the left of the front living room; off of the back living space to the left is another bedroom; and the primary suite is to the right. Potential exists to create an in-law area or divide the home into two separate living units, should this catch your eye as an investment property. The lovely fenced pool/patio/yard allows you to enjoy the "always summer" Florida lifestyle! There is no shortage of activities nearby--just a short walk through this delightful tree-lined neighborhood will lead you to Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores to watch the incredible sunsets. You will also find multiple parks within a short distance, including The Bay where you can launch your kayak or partake in free community events. If boating is your thing, you're covered there too, with more than one marina close by. The famous silky sand of Siesta Key Beach is only a 20-minute drive, and SRQ Airport pick-ups and drop-offs are a mere 10 minutes away. The many amazing shops, theaters and restaurants downtown will keep your social calendar booked! Don't let this gem pass you by.
