Coastal elegance meets island living in Bay Isles Bayou on Longboat Key. Nestled within this prestigious, 24-hour guard-gated community, this stunning canal-front home offers the ultimate waterfront lifestyle with 86 feet of serene frontage, where manatees glide by and tropical breezes fill the air. Set on over ¼ acre of lush, sun-drenched paradise, this home is designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Step inside and let the water views captivate you from nearly every room. With almost 3,300 square feet of bright and airy living space, this home seamlessly blends comfort with coastal charm. Multiple lanais, a sparkling screened-in pool, and your private, well-protected dock create the perfect setting for soaking in the Florida sun. The spacious kitchen invites both chefs and guests to gather, while the expansive great room—featuring a wet bar, fireplace, and direct access to the waterfront—sets the stage for unforgettable moments. With four generously sized bedrooms, there’s plenty of space for family and guests. Two main-floor guest rooms share a dual bath and open to a poolside lanai, while a third guest suite offers complete privacy with its own en-suite bath. Perched just a few steps above the rest of the home for ultimate tranquility, the owner’s suite is a true retreat. Wake up to dreamy water views, unwind on your private lanai with a retractable awning, and indulge in the spa-like bath featuring a jetted tub, walk-in shower, dual sinks, and a spacious walk-in closet with built-ins. Step outside to your expansive two-story lanai, where the heated pool and spa invite you to relax while overlooking the tranquil canal. Designed to stand the test of time, this concrete-constructed home with a barrel tile roof is both beautiful and built to last. Boaters will love the well-protected deep sailboat waters offering effortless access to Buttonwood Harbour, Sarasota Bay, and the Gulf—no fixed bridges to slow you down.

How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
