Inside, an airy open layout is filled with natural light. The spacious living and dining areas are bathed in sunshine and open to tranquil bay views, creating a peaceful backdrop of water, passing boats, and coastal skies. Glass sliders lead to a private Gulf-facing lanai, perfect for enjoying sea breezes and sunsets. Adding to the appeal are three generously sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a half bath with laundry—everything you need under one roof.
Buttonwood Cove offers a quieter, more private island experience and has undergone numerous updates in recent years, providing peace of mind to owners. Improvements include a newer roof, elevators, driveways, exterior paint, and Trex docks. This well-managed, amenity-rich waterfront community features lush tropical landscaping, a heated community pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a fishing pier, kayak launch, under-building parking, and private storage for beach and island essentials. The community is pet-friendly for small dogs and cats and is up to date on all milestone and structural inspections, allowing the new owner to move in with confidence.
Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the close proximity to the Longboat Key Club, where residents are welcome to explore membership opportunities and enjoy two championship golf courses along with the club’s full suite of amenities.
Ideal as a full-time residence or seasonal retreat, this location provides outstanding convenience. Everyday essentials, including grocery stores and pharmacies, are just minutes away, while Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport is approximately 12 miles away, the renowned shops and restaurants of St. Armands Circle are about 6 miles away, and downtown Sarasota—home to world-class culture, dining, and shopping—is just 9 miles away.
