500 Harbor Gate Way, Longboat Key, FL 34228

This was an internal family sale and should not be used as a comparable neighborhood sale. Located behind the prestigious Harbor Section gates within Bay Isles, this 3 bedroom home is located on an expansive corner lot on over ½ an acre with peaceful water views and easy boating access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Upon entering owners and guests are greeted by a spacious great room with high coffered ceilings, crown molding and multiple sliders accessing the large screened terrace. The master suite pampers owners with his/hers walk-in closets, dressing area and a reading nook overlooking the mature backyard landscaping and water. In addition to the breakfast area, the kitchen also opens to the intimate family room with gas fireplace, built-in shelving and breakfast bar. One guest room is ensuite and the other easily accesses the full bath in the guest hall. The formal dining room has been staged as a game room and offers chevron wood flooring and built-in cabinetry. Other home highlights include a 2 car oversized garage with workshop, circular brick paver drive with guest parking, full laundry room and office/library room with double door entry. Residents of Bay Isles have exclusive membership to the gated Bay Isles Beach Club located on the gulf across the street offering volleyball, a picnic area with grills, restroom and shower facilities and white sand beach. Ideally located mid Longboat Key just minutes from the restaurants and shopping on St. Armands and a short drive across the bridge to the cultural hub of downtown Sarasota.
