Property Description
Discover the Perfect Opportunity to Renovate or Build Your Dream Home! Located in the heart of historic Longbeach Village, on Longboat Key's north end, this charming mid-century cedar-framed residence offers a rare chance to create your ideal living space. Set back on an expansive elevated lot with a deep front yard, the property boasts ample room for a private oasis in the rear, complete with a heated pool, spa, and low-maintenance synthetic lawn.
Previously updated to blend modern conveniences with vintage charm, this home was featured in a 2022 Herald Tribune article as "A Sweet Spot on Longboat." The homeowners retained the original terrazzo floors and distinctive jalousie and awning windows, preserving its unique character. The living room and kitchen feature elevated ceilings reaching 14 feet at the cathedral peak, enhancing the sense of space. Modern drop lighting accents the kitchen.
The original owners, inspired by their time in Brisbane, Australia, infused the home with unique design elements, including a vibrant orange exterior.
The open-flow layout between the living room and kitchen maximizes convenience, creating a comfortable and relaxed living experience. Light-filled rooms contribute to a bright and uplifting atmosphere. Additional spaces include a generous den, a bonus room, and an office, offering versatility for various needs. The outdoor deck is ideal for entertaining or unwinding, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping that adds beauty and tranquility.
Following storm damage during the 2024 hurricane season, this property now presents an incredible opportunity to reimagine its full potential. Some interior photos show the home prior to the storm and others reflect the current remediated condition. The exterior photos of the yard, which include the pool and spa, are current after the storm.
The coveted gulf-to-bay access, ideal for beachcombing, boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding, as well as the nearby renowned waterfront dining and shops, provide the perfect gateway to the ultimate Florida lifestyle.
