701 LANDS END DRIVE

This secluded three-bedroom plus den home is nestled among lush foliage, resting along peaceful waters that flow out to Sarasota Bay. Sunny and open, with walls of floor-to-ceiling glass that overlook tropical vegetation, the nearly 4,000-square-feet of interior features cathedral tongue-and-groove ceilings with coffered details, solid wood accents, newer eat-in kitchen with all-white cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless appliances, as well as French door access to wraparound outdoor entertaining areas. Additional renovations include a new roof in 2016, impact screens, resurfaced swimming pool (2016) and garage door replaced in 2012. The master is conveniently located on the main living level, offering a dramatic curved glass wall that enhances tranquil vistas, updated bathroom and walk-in closet. The den, with its walls of custom built-ins, is a few steps away. Two guest suites occupy the upper level. Located behind the secure gates of Lands End, this elevated residence is in an ideal spot, within walking distance to pristine Gulf beaches, minutes from historic Long Beach and its lively pastimes, which include Mar Vista Bar and Grill, Cedars Tennis Resort, Anna Maria Island and Bradenton Beach. Lands End is a private, gated sanctuary on Longboat Key’s north end. Comprised of only 12 custom-built homes, residents enjoy access to this community’s tennis courts, heated swimming pool and deep-sea boat dockage assigned to each resident (lifts can be added at owner’s expense).
