Outstanding opportunity to own an elevated pool home with beautiful views of the sparkling Gulf of Mexico on the highly sought-after north end of Longboat Key. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Key West–style residence is ideally positioned on an oversized 19,400-sq.-ft. lot that stretches from Gulf of Mexico Drive to Gulfside Road—just steps from a pristine, uncrowded stretch of sandy coastline.
Built in 2001, this custom home offers a bright, open floor plan with spacious rooms, high ceilings, abundant windows, and quality finishes throughout. A private elevator or stairs lead from the expansive covered entertaining area by the pool to the main living level. The light-filled all-white kitchen features a gas cooktop, double ovens, and both a peninsula and breakfast area with Gulf views. Light wood floors flow into the inviting living room, where sliders open to a covered lanai—the perfect spot to enjoy sea breezes, sunsets, or a quiet read.
A formal dining room adds to the home’s easy entertaining flow. The peaceful primary suite with large ensuite bath also opens to the lanai, while the split-plan layout ensures privacy for guests. Outside, lush landscaping surrounds the sparkling pool, creating an idyllic island retreat.
Experience laid-back coastal living just minutes from the new St. Regis Resort, St. Armands Circle, and the cultural attractions of downtown Sarasota. Featured on the Longboat Key Garden Club’s 2005 Home and Garden Tour, this exceptional property blends quality, style, and casual elegance—a rare find on Longboat Key’s serene north end.

The driveway runs through to both. | |
