Walk to the beach and the Gulf, from this 1994 Long Beach village two-story contemporary beach house, located west of Gulf of Mexico Drive, in the Conrad Beach residential enclave. No home owner's association, no home owner's association maintenance fees, no deed restrictions except the Town of Longboat Key and those of Manatee County. This elevated home with cathedral ceilings, sky lights, screened and outdoor balcony porches is a delight to see and show. The living first floor is at 15 feet elevation and there is a two-car, over-sized 20 x 31 garage, with an extra 10 x 17 bonus area on the right side, plus a very large basement area, with a walk-in closet, storage under the stairs and sliding glass doors out to the grounds and block sidewalks. The entire yard is equipped with an electric dog fence and the survey stakes are in place now. There is an outdoor, covered shower with both hot and cold water. There is a utility area in the garage as well as one in the Kitchen, too. This over-sized, pie-shaped corner lot of .18 acres is beautifully manicured and landscaped for total privacy and Florida living. We are sorry, but there is no room to add a pool on this property due to the Town of Longboat Key building setbacks. But, if a pool is of interest to you, please see the supplement section for an explanation letter. The main living floor of over 1,500 square feet has a tile foyer entry. A very open living area, with vaulted ceilings, a separate Dining Room, eat-in Kitchen and utility room, as well as the Master Bedroom suite and the guest suite. There are two porch balconies off of the Living Room, both are 10 x 15 with one being screened and covered, while the other is attached to it and totally open for sun and fun. This is the first home on Longboat Key to be completely solar-powered. The average utility bills are Florida Power & Light only $24 and water, sewer, trash is only $74 a month. There were architectural design discussions for a third bedroom and third bathroom in the front of the house facing Firehouse Court, if you wanted to expand this incredible home.
