Buyer opportunity - the price has been reduced $300k from the recently contracted price! The photos are of the home prior to the property being impacted by the recent storms. This coastal gem on Longboat Key provides an opportunity for someone to make the new finishes their own. The home offers exceptional access to beach and bay and other island amenities, including outdoor dining, in one of the favorite areas of the island, the Longbeach Village. This large lot has the significant benefit of convenient rear alley access, only available to a very limited number of Village properties, which is great for trailering or parking a boat, kayaks, and golf cart, for an unparalleled island lifestyle. The beautiful pool and spa is fully restored and sparkling, and the new AC equipment has already been installed. The price reductions of $300k provide a great discount for a buyer doing the interior restoration for lower drywall, flooring, and cabinetry. Set on a lush, oversized lot, the property features an expansive front lawn and a fenced backyard oasis. Modern upgrades previously completed included new PGT windows, a wonderful private backyard space boasting an expansive tropical gazebo for relaxing and entertaining, all overlooking the generous heated and cooled saltwater pool with swim jets and spa. The open-concept interior can be modified or restored in its current and convenient split-plan layout. The spacious primary bedroom retreat is filled with natural light and enjoys backyard views and access through French doors. The split-plan provides privacy for your guests.
