Spectacular bay front panoramas. As good as it gets! Breathtaking, unobstructed views of Sarasota Bay
overlook the most exquisite portion of the bay. The Regency is midway between Selby Gardens and
Marina Jack. Only a very few condos in Sarasota showcase, head-on, so much beauty. This is a must-see
gem. Paradisiac living in chic heart of downtown.
Commanding panorama overlooks it all: huge arc of sailboats, three isles (Lido, Siesta and Bird Keys),
Italianate villas lining Bird Key, the city’s loveliest waterfront park (right across the street), a palm-lined
waterfront promenade, exotic Selby Botanical Gardens (5 min by foot) w/luscious bayside trails, Marina
Jack (5 min by foot) w/outdoor dining terraces, tour boats cruising the bay, Bridge to St. Armand’s, the
portal into the Gulf of Mexico, and entire downtown skyline. Each room, including master bath, shows
different angle on the spectacle.
You have ringside seats for 4 th of July fireworks and thrilling sunsets. You can even see frolicking
dolphins./ Magical transformations of bay throughout the day – from morning’s blue glow to
afternoon’s silvery sheen then dusk’s soothing indigo / The 7 th floor is optimal height for waterfront
gazing, not too high to miniaturize the view nor too low to cut off anything.
The location – also As Good As It Gets/ A mere 5-min walk to all the downtown pizzazz – international
fine dining, outdoor cafes, galleries, shopping galore, the Opera House, theaters, main library, Whole
Foods emporium/ Building’s other door opens onto Palm Ave, the city’s most elegant avenue adorned
w/towering palms and Spanish Mission Architecture. Wrought iron balconies evoke charm of Old
Europe. Graceful arcaded walkways past boutiques and fine dining. Burns Court Cinema, the city’s top
venue for art films (3 min by foot), Farmer’s Market 2 blocks away.
