Description of Property
$25,000 BUYER CREDIT AT CLOSING — RARE VALUE NEAR THE GULF on the desired Manatee County side of Longboat Key, Florida. Feel the bayou breeze from this beautifully updated 2nd-floor end-unit condo, where serene water views, deeded private beach access, and abundant natural light converge for the ultimate coastal retreat. Nestled in the sought-after Whitney Beach community on Longboat Key’s peaceful north end, this residence offers rare access to both Bishop’s Bayou and the turquoise Gulf—just a short stroll away. TWO pets welcome—no weight restrictions. Rentals allowed: 1-month minimum, up to 6 times a year. This light-filled end unit impresses with extra hurricane-impact windows, enhancing the airy, open feel throughout. The rear Florida room offers a front-row seat to manatees, dolphins, and herons gliding along the bayou—an ideal spot to sip your morning coffee or unwind in the evening. Probably the best view in Whitney Beach. Protected from the elements, with an exceptional wildlife backdrop, this end is not to be missed. Inside, impact glass adds peace of mind, while the spacious kitchen features Corian counters, tiled backsplash, LG stainless appliances, and a large sink with tranquil garden views. The open great room layout flows easily for entertaining, and there's room to add a custom bar for relaxed dining or cocktails. Both ensuite bedrooms feel like private retreats. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet with built-ins and French doors to the cozy Florida room, a great ambiance. Its ensuite bath includes a Corian vanity and a tub/shower combo. The second bedroom, set off the front Florida room, features a sliding privacy door, triple closets, two linen closets, and an ensuite bath with a step-in shower and single-sink vanity. The front area Florida room doubles as a functional entry space, housing the in-unit stacked washer/dryer, a water heater, and a large walk-in storage closet with electrical access. Recessed lighting with dimmers throughout sets the mood, while north-facing window shades and guest room curtains offer comfort and style. Whitney Beach is a coastal gem—a serene, pet-friendly community known for its well-kept amenities: two resort-style pools, tennis courts, BBQ stations, kayak storage and launch, and exclusive beach access right across the street. Lush landscaping, walking paths, and resident wildlife make this an idyllic setting to live or vacation. Turnkey furnished, this home includes chic décor, TVs, linens, kitchenware, and more. Major improvements are complete: seller paid $8K for new roofs and $14K for hurricane-related repairs, offering true peace of mind. Inquire with the agent about the credit at closing. Perfectly located near boutique shops, dining, and galleries, and just a quick drive to St. Armands Circle or downtown Sarasota for culture, entertainment, and nightlife. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful waterfront escape, an income-generating rental, or a full-time Florida home with rare beach access, this one checks every box.
