Ready to entertain offers! This townhouse is exceptional opportunity in Cedars East, one of Longboat Key’s most desirable tennis communities. This beautifully updated 3-story end-unit townhome is a rare find, offering the flexibility of two-week minimum rentals—a huge draw for investors looking to capitalize on the area's strong demand for short-term vacation stays. Even more valuable is the hard-to-find 2-car tandem garage, providing ample space for vehicles, storage, or owner lockout, a true luxury in island communities. Step inside to discover a light-filled, thoughtfully upgraded interior that blends coastal charm with modern function. Soaring ceilings and generous windows fill the space with natural light, while luxury vinyl plank flooring and custom shiplap accents lend a stylish, durable finish to the main living areas. The kitchen is a standout feature, boasting textured quartz countertops, a striking ocean-inspired glass tile backsplash, matte black hardware, and soft-close cabinetry, complemented by a full suite of GE appliances. A chic half bath on the main level continues the contemporary aesthetic, creating a cohesive and polished feel throughout. Upstairs, plush carpeting leads to the bedrooms, where comfort meets convenience. The primary bedroom features an in-unit washer and dryer, neatly tucked away in the closet for easy access. Views from the kitchen window offer serene glimpses of the preserve, as well as partial views of the pool, clubhouse, and tennis courts—perfect for those who appreciate a relaxing yet active lifestyle. This unit is being sold with essential furnishings—beds, tables, chairs, and a sofa—providing a great head start whether you plan to move in or list it for rent. With minimal effort, it's ready for immediate occupancy or income generation. Designed for those who enjoy recreation and resort-style living, Cedars East offers year-round tennis access, a vibrant clubhouse, a heated pool, and is just a short walk or bike ride to the public beach. The 2021 roof replacement offers peace of mind and may help with insurance and storm protection considerations. The spacious tandem garage also includes a bump-out housing the hot water tank and deep under-stair storage, making it practical for storing beach gear, bikes, or owner items between rentals. The underground Longboat Key utilities assessment was prepaid in full by the sellers so the new owners will enjoy one less line item on their annual tax bill, offering great long term savings. Located on the serene island of Longboat Key, this townhome is just minutes from the fine dining and boutique shopping of St. Armands Circle, as well as the arts and culture of downtown Sarasota. Nature lovers will appreciate nearby Durante Park and Bayfront Park, while foodies will enjoy proximity to waterfront favorites like The Shore and Dry Dock Grill. Whether you're an investor seeking a high-performing property, a tennis aficionado wanting to live near the courts, or simply looking for an upgraded coastal home in a prime location—this is the perfect fit.
