Property Description
Discover your dream barrier island lifestyle in this stunning, recently remodeled home on Longboat Key, Florida. This elevated treehouse-like retreat offers the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty that defines Sarasota's most prestigious coastal living.

Dimmable recessed lighting enhances the airy atmosphere, while water-resistant hard surface flooring throughout ensures practical beachside living. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, overlooking the spacious living room with stunning white shaker cabinets featuring soft-close technology. Enjoy cooking and entertaining with the expansive quartz countertops, generous island with breakfast bar, and an extra-large built-in pantry. All appliances are newer (2023). The primary bedroom suite offers a private retreat, separated from other bedrooms for maximum tranquility. Unwind in your renovated ensuite bathroom featuring a beautiful tile shower, and enjoy the convenience of a large walk-in closet.

Enjoy deeded access to Longboat Key's pristine white sand beaches and the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico – the hallmark of luxury barrier island living.
