Longboat Key’s paradisiacal beauty with views of the deep waters of the Intercoastal Waterway, which lead to the sparkling waters of Sarasota Bay and beyond. Here, the waters are alive with manatee and fish; herons and egrets accent the skies; and pleasure boats skim by. This half-acre lushly landscaped property sits on a quiet and secluded street. A leisurely stroll leads to a magnificent stretch of the Gulf of Mexico, with miles of powdery beaches. Or indulge your passion for the life aquatic with a 400-foot private dock and two state-of-the-art 20,000- and 10,000-pound Golden Boat Lifts. Explore the nearby waters—without a bridge in sight.

Inside this 3,312-square-foot, coastal cottage-style home solid oak floors flow seamlessly through an open plan, offering island living at its most elegant. Light-filled and spacious, there’s plenty of room to live, work and entertain. Open the doors to the saltwater pool and spa—and invite the outside in!
