740 Penfield St, Longboat Key, FL 34228

A “down to the studs” complete transformation in 2019, this large family-style estate home has 120 feet of direct canal waterfront, just one home in from Little Sarasota Bay; less than 5 minutes by boat to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Amazing views of the Sister Keys and Intercoastal waterway. The main living floor features three bedrooms all with en suites, an eat-in kitchen for 10, wet bar, soaring vaulted ceilings, a glass-enclosed wine/champagne tower, a huge great room with a linear gas fireplace, and access to a covered lanai running the entire length of the building with multiple seating areas and a cantilevered outdoor bar. The air conditioned lower level has a ton of additional space, with a walk-out to one of the largest residential pools on LBK, complete with integrated spa and outdoor shower. After a day on the water, pull your boat up to the brand new dock and 14,000lb lift, complete with 2 freshwater hookups, shore power connections, and a fish cleaning station. There is an oversized two-car garage which features a work-room and plenty of storage for recreational water vehicles and bikes. And there is plenty of guest parking right on the property. This architectural masterpiece is a few minutes’ walk to the warm Gulf beaches, and a few minutes’ drive to Anna Maria and Holmes Beach to the North, or St. Armands, Siesta Key, and downtown Sarasota to the South.
