Here is your opportunity for an elevated pool home with beautiful views of the sparkling Gulf of Mexico on the fabulous north end of Longboat Key. 3 bedrooms and 2 and a half baths located on an oversized 19,400sf lot that sits on the beach side of Gulf of Mexico Drive and spans all the way through to Gulfside Road. A gorgeous stretch of sandy coastline that is not shared with any high rises, is literally steps away. Here your morning stroll is only crowded by the seabirds. A very large, covered area under the home is the perfect spot for entertaining next to the sparkling pool. An elevator (or stairs) carries you from this ground level up to the living level, where you enter a home filled with light. The all white kitchen is open and bright and features a natural gas cooktop, double ovens and both a peninsula island and a great eat-in dining spot to admire the view. Light wood flooring flows seamlessly from the kitchen to the living room where sliders open to a covered lanai. The sea breeze and the view here makes for a perfect reading spot and stairs lead down to the pool area when you're ready for a relaxing swim. A beautiful formal dining room adds to the ease of entertaining. The peaceful primary bedroom with a large ensuite bath also opens to the covered lanai, and is a split plan from the other two bedrooms. The island living is laid back and easy here and owning a home so close to this gorgeous stretch of beach is truly a dream. When you're looking for more there are a multitude of options for dining and shopping between the newly opened St. Regis Resort, St.Armands Circle and the cultural mecca of downtown Sarasota which are all within easy reach. Please note that new grass and additional fencing on this very large lot will be happening in March.
