The perfect pairing of modern luxuries and nostalgic coastal charm! This extensively renovated 2 bed, 2 bath mid-century home, detached oversized garage & bonus 1 bed, 1 bath studio above–with water views east & south–could be the creative use of space you've been hoping for…. Main home features an open floorplan, expansive kitchen, central dining room, living room with vaulted ceilings & generous master suite with two closets & rainfall showerhead. The studio apartment, while used as a private work-from-home office by the current owners, could also serve as an artist's retreat, guest quarters for visiting friends & family, in-home care or perhaps a second living space for a shared vacation home purchase. For both structures, some of the many improvements include complete bathrooms & kitchen renovations too, including solid wood cabinets, soft-close everything & gorgeous Cambria quartz countertops; new electric panels, wiring & recessed lighting; HVAC, plumbing & roof systems. Low VOC paint throughout. Fully fenced with outdoor shower, the Xeriscape yard with drought-tolerant landscaping for easy maintenance & cost savings. Block construction, metal roofs, impact rated windows & other upgrades for peace of mind & long term energy efficiencies. No HOA or CDD fees. Within beloved historic Longbeach Village, welcome the sunrise from the pier just north of Shore, fish from the community dock just south of Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant & Pub, or float away on your paddleboards, kayaks, Sunfish & more from a sweet secret beach launch! Searching for the full beach experience with sweeping gulf views for early-bird strolls or sunset toasts? Head less than half a mile directly east on Broadway across Gulf of Mexico Drive to Whitney Beach & soak in the serenity of Longboat Key's most northern beach via N Shore Road–both with parking available. The dreamiest island life of sun, salt and sea sings for you to come awaken the sleeping mermaid within…. A swimsuit, sunglasses & pair of flip flops are all you'll need.
