Buyer opportunity! This coastal gem in the desirable Longbeach Village area of Longboat Key offers exceptional access to beach and bay access and other island amenities and outdoor dining in one of the favorite areas of the island. The photos are of the home prior to the property being impacted by the recent storms and provides an opportunity for someone to make the new finishes their own. The pool has already been fully restored and is operational. The price reduction of nearly $200k is a great discount for a buyer doing the restoration. If the property is not sold prior to the owner beginning the restoration work in November, the price will be increased. Set on a lush, oversized lot, the property features an expansive front lawn and a fenced backyard oasis. Modern upgrades already include new PGT windows, a wonderful private backyard space boasting an expansive tropical gazebo for relaxing and entertaining, all while overlooking the generous heated and cooled saltwater pool with swim jets and spa. The open-concept interior can be modified or restored in its current and convenient split-plan layout.  The spacious primary bedroom retreat is filled with natural light and enjoys backyard views and access through French doors. The split-plan provides privacy for your guests.  The second bedroom features elevated windows, while the third bedroom, shown as a home office, overlooks the front and enjoys ample natural light. A large Florida room provides a separate conversation area and access to the primary bedroom retreat as well as the inviting outdoor entertainment area and stunning pool and spa. There is an outdoor shower, extra storage, and ample space for parking for your golf cart, boat or guests. With gulf-to-bay access for boating, kayaking and paddleboarding, as well as nearby waterfront dining, this home offers the ideal blend of comfort, style and island charm. Do not miss out on this coastal gem!
