This over-sized, pie-shaped corner lot of .18 acres is beautifully manicured and landscaped for total privacy and Florida living. We are sorry, but there is no room to add a pool on this property due to the Town of Longboat Key building setbacks. But, if a pool is of interest to you, please see the supplement section for an explanation letter. The main living floor of over 1,500 square feet has a tile foyer entry. A very open living area, with vaulted ceilings, a separate Dining Room, eat-in Kitchen and utility room, as well as the Master Bedroom suite and the guest suite.

There were architectural design discussions for a third bedroom and third bathroom in the front of the house facing Firehouse Court, if you wanted to expand this incredible home.
