561 Halyard Ln, Longboat Key, FL 34228

The home has been tastefully updated by each of the last two owners and most recently has been a high-end rental property since the current owner built a new home nearby. It is being sold completely furnished (interior photos will be added to this listing upon completion of the personal property inventory) and in addition to canal frontage, there is deeded Gulf of Mexico beach access. There is a circular paver driveway providing guest parking in addition to a two-car garage. The interior design is a split bedroom plan. The kitchen has solid surface counters and a pass-through window to the pool area. The living room and dining room (here called a great room) wrap around the kitchen. There are sliding glass doors with sliding interior plantation shuttered doors from several rooms all leading to the large covered and screened area and swimming pool. The master bedroom and bath have been enlarged, the bath with both tub and separate shower stall (with built-in seat). The third bedroom, while used as such currently, is better described as a flexible room--with its separate entrance, it may be ideal as a home office. This south Longboat Key location--the much sought-after Country Club Shores--provides simple access to St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota shopping, dining, and culture, in addition to fine island living.
