This turnkey furnished residence on the north end of Longboat Key, just four homes away from Sarasota Bay, is ready for immediate occupancy. Whether you're looking for a waterfront getaway or a rental property, this home is the perfect choice. Boasting 125 feet of water frontage, a newer seawall (installed in 2001), and a deep-water dock and lift (installed in 2006), this home is ideal for boaters. The interior features three bedrooms and more than 2,500 square feet of living space spread across two levels, with walls of glass sliders and oversized windows that provide a bright and sunny atmosphere throughout. The ground floor houses the foyer entry, a split three-car garage, and a storage/workshop space. You can take the three-stop elevator or the stairs to reach the main living level, which features a great-room layout with built-ins, a wood-burning fireplace, a dining area, and sliding glass doors that open to an open deck. The galley kitchen, complete with granite countertops, newer cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances, as well as an eat-in cafe, is just steps away from the living/dining room. Additionally, the guest suite is located on this level for added privacy. On the second level, you'll find the spacious master suite, which includes its own terrace, an updated bathroom, and a large walk-in closet. There's also a study/third bedroom on this level. Outdoor entertaining space is available on each level of the home, with a recently resurfaced swimming pool and sundeck on the ground floor, an open terrace with a newer Trex deck on the second floor, and a screened terrace on the top floor. Living on North Longboat Key provides a serene experience with deeded access to the powdery shores and azure waves of the Gulf of Mexico, while the beach activities of Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria Island are just a few minutes away. If you venture south, you can enjoy the excitement of the Longboat Key Club, trendy cafes, and lovely shopping at St. Armands Circle, as well as the lively nightlife of downtown Sarasota.
