Description of Property

Contemporary Waterfront. A Boater's Paradise! Architect RJ Wagner's masterful use of light, water and tropical landscaping come together beautifully in this stunning, contemporary waterfront home on Longboat Key. This luxury residence features over 6,300 square feet of finished living space, along with more than 6,50 square feet of covered outdoor areas and lanais. Thoughtful planning seamlessly blends private, intimate spaces with open, free-flowing areas for effortless entertaining and gathering. A unique open floor plan, resort-style pool and spa and 136 feet of waterfront with quick and easy deep-water boating access are only the beginning. Welcome to 5940. A gated entry leads visitors through mature tropical gardens along a circular paver driveway which wraps around a koi pond. A ground-floor foyer welcomes friends and family alike. Glass doors lead to the outdoor amenity area with a pool and spa, waterfall, outdoor shower, game areas and a practice putting green. The home's four-story light filled atrium features a cascading waterfall and glass elevator. The second floor's open plan is ideal for entertaining: a generous chef-style kitchen with a butler's pantry and high-end appliances opens to an elegant dining area with a custom starlight ceiling. The great room with a gas fireplace leads to a large outdoor living area, breakfast deck and water views. Four spacious guest suites each enjoy private baths, large closets and private balconies. There is even a separate guest laundry. The home offers plenty of storage and five-car parking via the three-car main garage and a two-car guest garage building. On the top floor, the luxurious primary suite offers both comfort and privacy. It features a large balcony with waterfront views, en-suite morning coffee bar, expansive primary bath with walk-in shower and jetted tub and a new custom walk-in closet with upgraded finishes, a center island and built-in cabinetry with LED lighting. An adjacent laundry center completes the suite. The upper level also offers an expansive den with gas fireplace, a large lanai and plenty of room for games. The rooftop awaits your imagination with its Gulf and bay views. Enjoy Waterfront living. This impressive residence is located on one of Emerald Harbor's best deep-water canals. A newly constructed seawall and dock with composite decking are ideal for the water enthusiast. The home offers two slips – one for boats up to 60 feet and the other with a 10,000-pound boat lift that can easily accommodate your center console or deck boat. Whether boating, sailing, kayaking or enjoying any of your favorite water sports – Emerald Harbor offers well-protected water with quick and easy access to Sarasota Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico. And Longboat's world-class beaches are just steps away. Appreciate incomparable quality. Thoughtful design and function are two key elements of the home – quality construction is the third. Engineered and built to the highest standards, including masonry construction from the ground up, pre-cast concrete floors, acoustically insulated steel stud interior walls, a storm-rated pool cage, smartphone controls, integrated keypad lighting, security and camera systems, generator and more. The home features luxurious finishes, European cabinetry and high-end fixtures throughout.
