This one of a kind home with lush, tropical landscaping on a canal across from mangroves on Town of Longboat Key owned conservation land has absolute, total privacy—you would think you are on an Island. This turnkey furnished, three bedroom home with two baths has recently been remodeled with an Island theme including completely new kitchen and appliances, upgraded bathrooms, chair rail, 5” floor molding, 7 year old roof and windows, some new flooring, central heat/air only one year old, Murphy bed, plus more.

Outdoor custom-built, cedar Tiki bar, table and lights perfect for entertaining, outdoor shower with hot and cold water, fenced yard with dog run, storage shed and even a child’s playhouse with its own solar panels on its roof. There are two boat docks—one with an 8000# boat lift. Located near the beach access and close to all Longboat Key, Sarasota and Bradenton have to offer. All this creates a magical setting for your Island home. Birds, manatees and snook are at your back door. Seeing is believing!
