5320 GULF OF MEXICO DRIVE #204

Property Details

Description

What if you didn't have to choose between boating and the beach? At Longboat Landing, Sarasota Bay is out back and the Gulf of Mexico is across the street. Offered TURNKEY FURNISHED, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence combines the ease of island living with the intimacy of a nine-residence community on Longboat Key. Inside, 1,323 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space feels open, warm and refreshingly different from the typical beach condo. Rich wood flooring flows through the main living areas, complemented by plantation shutters, crown molding, recessed lighting and French doors. At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen made for gathering, with stainless appliances, abundant cabinetry, a designer tile backsplash and an oversized peninsula with generous seating. Open to the dining and living areas, it's a layout that works equally well for quiet mornings or a house full of family and friends. Sliding glass doors extend the living space onto a generous screened lanai surrounded by tropical island scenery, creating an inviting place for morning coffee, afternoon reading or cocktails after a day on the water. The primary suite offers an ensuite bath with a generous sitting room and direct lanai access. Two additional bedrooms provide valuable flexibility for visiting family and friends, with one currently arranged as a home office. An interior laundry room adds everyday convenience. Outside your door is what makes this location so compelling. Longboat Landing sits directly on Sarasota Bay, where residents enjoy a fishing pier and first-come boat slips accommodating vessels up to 26 feet, along with a heated community pool and tennis court. With only nine residences, the community offers an intimate setting rarely found among larger island developments. Spend the day boating, fishing or exploring Sarasota Bay, then come home for a swim or simply relax and enjoy the slower pace of island life. Just across Gulf of Mexico Drive is the other side of the Longboat Key lifestyle: the Gulf of Mexico, white-sand beaches, turquoise water and unforgettable sunsets. Here, you don't have to choose between boating and the beach. You can enjoy both. Located on the relaxed north end of Longboat Key, you're close to marinas, waterfront dining and the laid-back character of the island, with Anna Maria Island just beyond Longboat Pass. Head south to St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota for exceptional dining and shopping, galleries, theaters, performing arts and the cultural experiences that make Sarasota one of Florida's most distinctive Gulf Coast destinations. Whether you're searching for a full-time Longboat Key residence, winter retreat or Florida second home, this one offers a combination that's increasingly difficult to find: three bedrooms, beautifully updated interiors, turnkey furnishings, boating on Sarasota Bay, the Gulf across the street and the privacy of an intimate nine-residence community. Turnkey furnished, beautifully updated and ready to enjoy, this is more than a Florida getaway. It's an opportunity to arrive with your suitcase and start living the island life you've been waiting for.
