BRADENTON, FL 34210 4535 BAY CLUB DRIVE

Golden sunsets over Sarasota Bay. The downtown skyline and Ringling Bridge glowing against the night sky. This is what every evening looks like from your private top-floor vantage point in Conquistador Bay Club. This elevated, single-level waterfront residence delivers sweeping, uninterrupted sunset panoramas from nearly every room - the great room, dining area, enclosed patio, even the kitchen sink. With only 28 units across five buildings, this boutique bayfront community offers a level of privacy and quiet that high-rise living simply cannot match. Soaring vaulted ceilings with tongue-and-groove detail, plantation shutters, and a wood-burning fireplace anchor the great room of this 2,100 sq ft residence, where natural light and expansive bay views take center stage. Tastefully appointed and truly move-in ready, the great room flows into a 350+ sq ft enclosed patio that functions as a year-round living space with a dedicated AC split system - open the sliders for a fresh bay breeze or close them for climate-controlled sunset views in any season. The updated kitchen features a custom Italian glass backsplash and premium Bosch dual wall ovens, complementing a coastal aesthetic that carries throughout. A private elevator rises directly from your two-car garage into the residence - no stairs required. A new central AC system (2025) keeps the home comfortable year-round. At garage level, a dedicated ~250 sq ft climate-controlled storage room provides rare flexibility for a personal gym, hobby space, wine storage, or seasonal gear. The primary suite offers its own water views and spacious ensuite, while the guest bedroom features a custom Murphy bed built-in that converts seamlessly between guest quarters and home office. Full-size washer and dryer and generous interior storage deliver the everyday function of a single-family home. Association dues replace costs most homeowners carry separately - building and flood insurance, cable, internet, elevator service, grounds maintenance, and pool amenities - making the true cost of ownership remarkably efficient for direct bayfront living. A brand-new 2025 tile roof, impact windows, completed Milestone structural-integrity inspection, and fully funded reserves (per reserve study) mean confidence in both the building and your investment. Elevated block construction provides lasting structural integrity for waterfront living. Walk to waterfront dining, golf, and fitness facilities at IMG - with optional social and fitness membership access for just $600/year. Launch a kayak directly from the community's private bay access, or relax at the residents-only pool and spa. Nestled at the end of a private dead-end street, you're a world away from busy corridors yet just 20 minutes to downtown Sarasota or Anna Maria Island and minutes from IMG Academy and SRQ Airport. Furnishings negotiable - unpack and start enjoying the sunsets from day one!
