Description of Property

Nestled on an oversized waterfront homesite of nearly 17,000 sq. ft., this elevated coastal oasis offers a rare opportunity to reside in the vibrant Village of Longboat Key, a neighborhood renowned for its stunning natural beauty, direct access to pristine beaches, bays, and bayous, walking and biking paths, restaurants, and shops. This is "authentic Florida" at its best. As you approach the architecturally designed home, the long tree-lined drive and mature landscaping set the stage for the peaceful island lifestyle that awaits. The home's exterior, with its abundant windows, deep-covered terraces, and standing-seam roof, beautifully captures the essence of a welcoming private retreat. Inside you’ll find a bright ambiance, with generous natural light cascading through the soaring ceilings and flowing floor plan. The solid heart-walnut floors and deep ornamental base mouldings bring warmth to this artistic custom home, while the seamless integration of the indoor spaces and 1200 sq. ft. of decks provide a harmonious sanctuary for relaxation or social gatherings. The living and dining room, with a wood-burning fireplace, flow to an inviting deck that wraps the home's west and south elevations, offering picturesque views of the large secluded backyard, the Brazilian Ipe boat dock with a 10,000 lb. lift, and the natural shoreline below. Endless recreational possibilities on the waterway include launching your kayak or boat, dropping your line for snook, redfish, or trout, casting a net for mullet, or simply watching the manatees and dolphins at play. In just minutes, you’ll be in the Gulf of Mexico. At the heart of the home, the bright, open kitchen prioritizes both function and aesthetics. Generous cabinetry and storage, plenty of workspace, a coffee corner, a dining bar, Caesarstone countertops and backsplashes, a single-bowl stainless sink, gas cooking, and direct access to the kitchen terrace for your grill and pizza oven make it a chef’s delight. The entire top level of the home encompasses the ultimate owners' retreat, including a cozy terrace with panoramic views to the south and the west, a window-lined office area with expansive views of the bayou, and two walk-in wardrobes. French doors lead to a spa bath with a deep Victoria & Albert soaking tub, an oversized glass-enclosed shower with Graff fixtures, a double floating vanity with lighted Robern cabinets, and a makeup area with a Kohler triple-lighted mirror. Additionally, two guest rooms and a full bath are conveniently located on the main level, along with a powder bath, a comfortable den/media room with triple bay windows, and laundry. At the home’s entry-level you’ll find a 1200-bottle wine cellar to accommodate a prized collection and a 600 sq. ft. Bonus Room with a half bath, perfect for working from home, working out, or pursuing hobbies. The 900 Sq Ft garage, with a new epoxy floor, easily accommodates two or three vehicles, a golf cart, plenty of beach gear, and storage. For the first time in 28 years, this solidly constructed, meticulously maintained home, with its harmonious blend of sophistication and comfort, is available and awaiting the next fortunate owners.
