Rare Opportunity: Beach and Boating Lifestyle on Longboat Key. Experience the best of both worlds with breathtaking Gulf of Mexico views and deeded bay access, including a renovated boathouse with a lift just across Gulf of Mexico Drive. This three-story Key West-style home, designed by Clifford M. Scholz Architects and built by Perrone Builders, offers unparalleled privacy and the ultimate coastal lifestyle. Nestled behind a private gate and surrounded by lush tropical greenery on almost an acre (33,400sf), this island retreat is built with towering 19’ elevation and concrete block construction. The four-bedroom home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years. Recent enhancements include a metal roof, downspouts, and gutters, as well as impact windows and doors on the Gulf side, complemented by automatic storm shutters for added peace of mind. The pool has been upgraded with a new gas heater and pump, ensuring effortless enjoyment. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the chef’s kitchen features Sub-Zero appliances, Viking double ovens, a six-burner gas range, Neff cabinetry with pullouts, and ample pantry storage. The open floor plan flows seamlessly to the outdoor pool terrace, complete with a summer kitchen for alfresco dining. Expansive terraces on the second and third floors provide exquisite vantage points to enjoy Gulf Coast sunsets. The primary suite offers a serene retreat with stunning beach views, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath. Bedrooms throughout the home are generously sized, offering comfort and versatility. Across the road, the private bayside boathouse features updated decking, a 12,000-lb boat lift, with water and electric utilities, catering perfectly to boating enthusiasts. The ground level of the home features over 2,600 square feet of garage space, ideal for a car collection, home gym, or ample storage. With direct beach access via a private path, an outdoor shower for convenience, and close proximity to Anna Maria Island, Lido Key, and St. Armands Circle, this property offers an unparalleled lifestyle. This is your chance to own a piece of paradise on Longboat Key. Schedule your private tour today.
