One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a sleek, modern coastal estate on one of Longboat Key’s most coveted stretches of sand. Perfectly situated on a rare double lot on the beach side of Gulf of Mexico Drive, this architectural gem incorporates uninterrupted, panoramic views of the Gulf. This completely turnkey furnished 4,420 square foot home has 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and includes many upgrades showcasing incredible style. With nothing ever to be built in front, those golden sunsets and turquoise seas can be yours to savor forever. Built in 2021 with no expense spared, this home is a fortress of strength. Designed for durability by a structural architect, this home is constructed entirely of concrete utilizing sheer walls and concrete block combined with over-engineered pilings for peace of mind. Reglet trim has been achieved by utilizing metal steel framing , providing longevity and function. Inside, dramatic Euro-wall sliders blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, leading to a wraparound terrace that offers sweeping 260-degree views. A stunning elevated infinity-edge pool and spa, an outdoor shower and a fire table provide endless enjoyment. Level 5 drywall, oversized porcelain tile floors, and high design finishes elevate every corner. The main living level features a dazzling chef’s kitchen with European lacquer cabinetry, quartzite counters, and top-of the-line appliances: a 48” Sub-Zero fridge, 48” gas range, two ice makers, wine fridge, microwave drawer, natural gas service and more. Lutron LED lighting enhances the crisp, contemporary ambiance. The outdoor living is equally luxurious utilizing matching porcelain tile and a walnut-lined covered terrace to flow seamlessly from the interior. The top floor is a true penthouse master suite, leading to a self-contained oasis. The spa-like bathroom includes a soaking tub, a huge walk in shower and Gulf views from every room. An additional 1,150 square foot upper patio deck is framed by huge sliders allowing true indoor/outdoor living. In addition there is a second laundry room and kitchenette creating an amazing sanctuary. Whether used as a private refuge or separate guest quarters, this space can be closed off from the rest of the home, allowing the second floor, which includes 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, to be independently rented while preserving your own private haven. Three garages accommodate up to 9 vehicles, a gym and recreational toys. Leading outside is a large open area providing room to add a pickleball court or putting green. Beyond is over an acre of public land owned by the town of Longboat Key insuring your forever Gulf views. Additional perks include an elevator, two-zone A/C, dual laundry setups, gas tankless water heater, and electronic shades throughout. Currently operating as The Sea Grape Inn, this home offers income potential without sacrificing privacy, making it a rare hybrid of luxury retreat and smart investment. Step from your door to the sugar-white sands of Longboat Key and experience the pinnacle of Gulf-front living.
