Property Description
Tucked away on one of Longboat Key's most unexpectedly serene streets, this elevated 3-bedroom island home offers something increasingly rare: space, privacy, nature, and convenient coastal living, all in one place. Set at the end of a quiet, dead-end road that gently meets Sarasota Bay, with deeded access to both the beach and the bay just moments away. Life here unfolds at an unhurried pace. Mornings begin on the porch with filtered sunlight and birdsong drifting in from Joan M. Durante Park, the 32-acre preserve that borders the property and wraps the street in natural beauty. Winding trails, mangroves, boardwalks, and bayfront docks become an extension of your backyard, offering a daily connection to the outdoors that feels both grounding and restorative. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully remodeled and is truly move-in ready, blending a relaxed coastal feel with modern comfort. The open-concept layout is light-filled and welcoming, anchored by a beautifully updated kitchen with quartz countertops, a generous island, and ample storage, perfect for everyday living or hosting friends who linger long after sunset. The primary suite is privately positioned, while additional bedrooms flex easily as guest space, a home office, or a creative retreat. Below, the spacious under-house garage offers exceptional versatility with room for cars, bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, or even a home gym, making island adventures effortless. At the entrance to the street, island life comes alive with Euphemia Haye Restaurant and The Haye Loft, ideal for impromptu dinners or sunset drinks without ever getting in the car. Beaches, boating, and quiet moments by the bay are all just part of the rhythm here. This is a home for those who value privacy without isolation, nature without sacrifice, and a lifestyle that feels intentional, calm, and deeply connected to Longboat Key.
