Coastal, Elevated

Situated in the tree-lined Buttonwood Harbour neighborhood on mid-Longboat Key, this beautifully appointed coastal waterfront masterpiece on 124 feet of deep boating water is just a short stroll to the tranquil Gulf-front beach. Built in 2013, the 3,413-SF 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence is nestled amid a private tropical oasis on protected Cranes Bayou, surrounded by flourishing landscaping with coconut palms, bougainvillea, birds of paradise, a stunning chenille plant and crushed-shell pathways. The .33-acre property includes a 7,000-lb boat lift with easy access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. An expansive outdoor living area offers a travertine tile deck, oversized 35’ x 15’ heated saltwater pool, firepit and large covered patio – perfect for soaking in views of the water, sea life, magnificent skies and ever-present breezes. Inside, an elevator and American Black Walnut-clad stairs lead from the ground-level entry to the main floor, which showcases stylish open living spaces with the same walnut flooring, architectural details and plantation shutters throughout. The living room with pocketing glass sliders provides a seamless transition to a covered terrace with Ipe flooring, where you can relax and savor picturesque views of the bayou, pool and verdant grounds. Back inside, the centerpiece room features built-in white cabinetry with glass display shelves and volume ceilings clad with painted blue wood panels and gorgeous crown molding. The stunning kitchen features high-end appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf convection and steam ovens, Cambria Torquay quartz countertops and Brookhaven soft-close cabinets. Storage and entertaining space is continued with the handsome butler’s pantry and wet bar, featuring a Wolf microwave and wine refrigerator, and a walk-in pantry with additional refrigerator. There is a spacious casual dining area surrounded by windows and glass sliders, and a separate formal dining room that exudes elegance and warmth with exquisite door mouldings and grass-cloth wallpaper. Bright and luxurious, the primary suite features a sitting area with custom draperies, French glass doors to the terrace, dual custom closets and a sumptuous bathroom with striking marble flooring, dual vanities with quartz counters, makeup area, walk-in shower with a bench and jetted tub. Two guest bedrooms with beautiful en-suite baths, gracious laundry room, and an office that could serve as a fourth bedroom with an adjacent powder bath complete the single floor main living level. The ground level includes two multifunctional spaces perfect for a bonus room and gym, abundant storage, 3+ car garage with Polyaspartic Flake flooring, and a side garage door for easy access to kayaks, SUPs, and all of your smaller waterfront toys. Other highlights include impact glass windows and doors, five smart TVs, 5-panel 8-foot-high doors and a 250-gallon underground propane tank. The Buttonwood Harbour community includes irrigation water in the low $600/year fee and also has a community dock with rental slips and a community boat launch. This coveted Longboat location is less than a mile from The Shoppes of Bay Isles, Publix, CVS, the Post Office, and the Longboat Key Public Tennis Center and just over a mile to the beautiful Bayfront Park, which has a dog park, playground, pickleball, tennis, basketball and shuffleboard courts.
