Aria
Aria, in more ways than one, promises an exclusive and luxurious lifestyle for anyone. Completed in 2016, this maintenance-free community is composed of just 16 opulent residences. Each has a generous share of an exhilarating, stunning beachfront location on Gulf of Mexico Drive on the southern part of Longboat Key.
Aria is a labor of love that took two years to build and has emerged as a new architectural landmark on the island. Its contemporary building blends flawlessly with the historic Villa am Meer estate house which has graced the five-acre property since the mid-1930s.
Lovingly restored, Villa am Meer now houses Aria’s Residents Club featuring many of the community’s beachfront amenities. These facilities include a social room, fireplace, private dining area, catering kitchen, a wellness center, and rooftop gardens.
The Residents Club has a guest suite, wine cellar and a covered terrace with fire pit as well. In addition to the 300-foot private beach and cabanas of the Aria, the community features a swimming pool and spa plus a half-mile fitness trail across a park-like landscaped setting, shaded by lush trees.
The Aria’s residential building was built as a masterfully designed four-story structure. Each of the residences’ living areas flow from the front and back of the building, allowing each home a rightful share of the community’s marvelous coastal setting. The floor plans of the homes range between 3,804 and 4,142 square feet with their spacious layouts incorporating volume 10-foot ceilings, glass walls and sprawling terraces.
Other endearing residential community features include oversized private garages with storage and private elevators for the upper floor residences of this luxury icon in Longboat Key. The elegant condo building features two lobbies, each with an elevator leading to eight units.
On every floor, you will find four apartments, extending front to back to provide all units marvelous beach and ocean views. Most bedrooms that open to a patio feature a summer kitchen. The first-floor condos have extended terraces, while the prime penthouse residences boast roof terraces. With these exquisite features and superior location, expect the Aria to be a mainstay on the watch list of buyers in search of trophy properties.
