Escape, relax, and unwind in this remarkable beachfront residence. Look out at the sparkling azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico and 114 feet of wide, sandy beach. This custom home was specifically designed with views in mind, boasting panoramic vistas of the Gulf from every room. From calm morning sunrises over the Bay to spectacular and unforgettable sunsets on the Gulf and watching dolphins, tarpon, and rays play throughout the day, this is a water lovers’ dream home. Positioned on a pristine stretch of Manasota Key Beach, where the beach has expanded over the years since the home was built, this private estate was built solid and high, including 3 levels and an elevator. The spacious and open top floor offers water views from every window and was set up as the owner’s retreat and designed with entertaining in mind. It features a newly remodeled chef’s kitchen with beautiful two-tone custom cabinets, modern Quartz countertops, and high-end appliances, with 2 built-in ovens, a built-in microwave, and a large center island. The kitchen opens to a vast great room with vaulted ceilings, tall windows, and a large balcony, allowing for al fresco dining with views of the sparkling Gulf waters. The formal dining room is located towards the front of the home and has spectacular views of Lemon Bay. The oversized primary suite, with panoramic windows showcasing breathtaking Gulf views, includes balcony access, a bath area with dual sinks, a jetted tub, a walk-in shower, and a roomy walk-in closet with custom cabinets. Local artist BJ Carson custom-painted the top floor’s beautiful powder room. The home’s middle level is set up for your family and guests, with two sizeable en-suite bedrooms, another spacious living room, and an open-air balcony with access to and overlooking the elevated and heated pool. The pool area is completely fenced for security and includes a vast outdoor terrace that overlooks the pristine sands of the beach and shimmering waters of the Gulf. Other luxury finishes in the home include polished travertine floor tile throughout the main living areas and bathrooms and designer window treatments and light fixtures. The home’s second and third levels are easily accessed directly from the garage level via an elevator. The first living level is at 23.5′ elevation. The ground floor of the home offers a 3 car oversized garage (12.7′ elevation), and a large storage room, bath, and office (13.3′ elevation). The home has received many recent updates, including a brand-new roof, a resurfaced pool, and recently replaced HVAC systems. The home includes hurricane impact protection for all windows and doors. A recently completed survey, elevation certificate, and wind mitigation inspection are all available for review. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the pleasure and timeless allure of beachfront living.
