Description

This quintessential Florida lifestyle offers boating from the canal in your backyard and deeded beach access directly across the street about 400 feet where the Gulf of Mexico in all its splendor beckons, with stunning sunsets and miles of some of the most beautiful low density beaches in the area. The light-drenched great room floor plan is picturesque with long canal views to Sarasota Bay which overlook your private pool built in 2009. A newer kitchen, five-year-young roof and great maintenance...This quintessential Florida lifestyle offers boating from the canal in your backyard and deeded beach access directly across the street about 400 feet where the Gulf of Mexico in all its splendor beckons, with stunning sunsets and miles of some of the most beautiful low density beaches in the area. The light-drenched great room floor plan is picturesque with long canal views to Sarasota Bay which overlook your private pool built in 2009. A newer kitchen, five-year-young roof and great maintenance throughout make this a wonderful address to have as a primary residence or vacation oasis. The ultimate plus of this opportunity is the unimpaired Gulf and Sarasota Bay views this property holds when a second floor or a brand new dream home is created on this one-third of an acre island destination. The ability to earn income and use as a rental is another added bonus. Shopping, dining, tennis, the arts and close proximity to the Longboat Key Club all lend a hand in a value you simply cannot go wrong with.
