Waterfront charm nestled on nearly .60 acres on Gulf of Mexico Drive. Public beach access 1 mile. A boater's dream with a 90' new seawall, new dock and updated boat lift A wide canal connects quick access to waterfront dining and a scenic excursion to Sarasota Bay. A new roof added in December 2020. This is a unique home built at a time when Longboat Key was just incorporated in the mid 1950's. With its warm and welcoming environment, this mid-century modern home creates a unique opportunity. It is stepping back in time to an Old Florida lifestyle. Entering is breathtaking with the open plan, vaulted wood ceilings, living area, 40' lap pool and Harris Bay as the landscape. The outdoor area includes a large under-roof patio that is screened along with the pool. Two of the three guest bedrooms are ensuite. Renovations have occurred over the years and enhanced the ambiance of the home. Each bedroom has direct access to outdoors. The current kitchen was beautifully redesigned and porcelain tiles installed throughout the public rooms and much more. A piece of paradise with a .6 acre lot that may provide a new construction opportunity in the future.
