About this home
Virtually Staged. VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING NEW — BOAT IN YOUR BACKYARD, PRIVATE BEACH DOWN THE STREET. This is the Longboat Key lifestyle buyers dream about: boating from your own backyard, sunset walks on the Gulf, and a beautifully reimagined coastal home that is truly move-in ready. Previously appraised at $1.65 million late last year and more recently appraised at $1.5 million (with no material changes to the home), the home is now offered at $1.35 million—creating an exceptional opportunity to purchase below its most recent appraised value. Set along an impressive 120 feet of canal frontage, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront home offers DIRECT BOATING ACCESS TO SARASOTA BAY AND THE INTRACOASTAL plus PRIVATE DEEDED GULF BEACH ACCESS JUST EIGHT HOMES AWAY. It is a rare Longboat Key combination: keep your boat in your own backyard while enjoying private Gulf beach access just down the street. The location is equally exceptional, with Joan M. Durante Park, Cedars Tennis Resort & Club, and some of Longboat Key’s favorite restaurants, boutiques and shops all just moments from the property. Optional membership is available at nearby Cedars Tennis Resort & Club, offering tennis and pickleball courts, a Jr. Olympic swimming pool, 24/7 fitness center and additional resort-style amenities. Boating, beaches, recreation, dining and shopping are all right at your fingertips. This is far more than a typical “updated” home. With the exception of the foundation, VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING HAS BEEN RENOVATED OR REPLACED, INSIDE AND OUT. Improvements include a new roof, new AC systems, new interior walls, new flooring, newer electrical and plumbing, new decking, cabinetry, landscaping and finishes throughout, along with impact windows, high-impact sliding glass doors and impact-rated exterior doors. The result is the feel and peace of mind of a near-new coastal home in an irreplaceable waterfront setting. Inside, vaulted ceilings, expansive water views and an open, light-filled layout create effortless coastal living. The beautifully updated kitchen features solid-wood cabinetry, soft-close hardware, quartz countertops, a gas range, stainless-steel appliances, copper hood and copper farmhouse sink. Updated bathrooms continue the elevated finishes throughout the home. The living space flows directly to an approximately 1,000-square-foot screened lanai overlooking the canal and backyard—an incredible extension of the home for entertaining, dining or relaxing by the water. Launch a kayak from your own property, step aboard your boat and cruise toward Sarasota Bay, then end the day with a sunset at your private Gulf beach access. The fenced backyard offers ample room for a future pool, while the property's higher elevation than many ground-level Longboat Key homes adds another meaningful advantage. Offered FULLY FURNISHED / TURNKEY WITH NO HOA, the home is ready for immediate enjoyment as a primary residence, second home or coastal retreat. Few properties at this price offer this combination of 120 feet of waterfront, direct boating access, deeded private beach access, extensive renovation, impact features, furnishings, exceptional proximity to Longboat Key amenities and no HOA. $1.65M EARLIER APPRAISAL. $1.5M MOST RECENT APPRAISAL. NOW OFFERED AT $1.35M. YOUR BOAT IN THE BACKYARD. YOUR BEACH DOWN THE STREET. WELCOME TO LONGBOAT KEY.
