Spanning approximately 3,000 square feet, this thoughtfully renovated home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a dedicated media room, and a private office. Exceptional craftsmanship shines throughout, with 10-foot ceilings, custom millwork, impact-rated windows and doors, wide-plank porcelain flooring, and thoughtfully chosen finishes. The showpiece kitchen pairs a dramatic 9-foot Dolomite island with Thermador refrigerator and freezer columns and a 48-inch, six-burner gas range. Twelve-foot bifold impact doors and 8-foot bifold windows open the living spaces to the outdoors, creating an effortless connection to the patio and beautiful water views. The owner's suite is a private, Zen-inspired retreat overlooking the water, complete with a luxurious two-person hydrojet soaking tub and an aroma steam shower with dual rain heads and hand showers. A media room with surround sound and a wet bar sets the stage for relaxed evenings, while the separate office offers dual workstations and a pull-out sofa for additional guests. Two spacious guest suites feature beautifully appointed baths with floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile and premium fixtures. Outside, 110 feet of seawall and a versatile dock system make the waterfront lifestyle the real star. Enjoy an entertaining area, a dedicated mooring station with shore power and water, and a floating dock perfect for launching kayaks or heading out by boat. With Sarasota Bay just around the corner, spontaneous days on the water become a part of everyday life. On Longboat Key's desirable south end, adjacent to the Resort at Longboat Key Club and minutes from St. Armands Circle and Sarasota, the property also includes deeded beach access. A rare opportunity to enjoy a completely renovated, exceptionally appointed waterfront home without the projects, compromises, or storm-related concerns. Seller motivated.
