About this home
101 SUNSET DRIVE UNIT 301
Live every day as if aboard a private yacht with sweeping, unobstructed panoramic views placing you directly above the sparkling waters of Sarasota Bay. This exceptional two-bedroom, two-bath, third-floor corner residence in the sought-after Lawrence Pointe community immerses you in the rhythm of the bay, from graceful sailboats and sleek yachts to playful dolphins and soaring seabirds, a living symphony of coastal life. Meticulously renovated and designed to capture every ounce of natural light, this contemporary home blends modern sophistication with relaxed waterfront living. The terrace has been thoughtfully enclosed, adding nearly 200 square feet of versatile living space while two additional private balconies offer serene retreats to savor Sarasota’s signature sunsets and gentle bay breezes. Inside, imported Italian porcelain tile flows throughout an open, light-filled layout complemented by contemporary recessed lighting and designer finishes. The gourmet kitchen is a showcase of Italian cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a stone tile backsplash, combining elegant style with abundant storage and functionality. The primary suite provides a peaceful sanctuary with its own private balcony and ample room for a sitting area. The second bedroom offers flexible options complete with a Murphy bed and built-in desk, ideal for guests, a home office, or a creative retreat. Custom built-ins and generous closets throughout ensure impeccable organization and effortless living. Lawrence Point is an intimate, gated bayfront enclave renowned for its tranquil setting and some of downtown Sarasota’s lowest condominium fees. Residents enjoy a heated bayfront pool, meticulously landscaped grounds, on-site management, and a prime location just moments from the cultural heart of Sarasota, the weekend Farmers Market, and the scenic John Ringling Bridge leading to St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach. Covered under-building parking adds daily convenience steps from your door. This is a rare opportunity to own a refined waterfront residence where spectacular views, elegant design, and the effortless Sarasota lifestyle converge.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
