Welcome to a wonderfully whimsical retreat and one of the best values on Longboat Key for a single-family home, set in The Bayou behind the gates of the coveted Bay Isles community. Clean lines, architectural accents, quality materials and an artistic flair define this landmark property, where an abundance of creative, colorful, imaginative features have manifested an upbeat ambiance that delights upon entry and continues at every turn. With high ceilings and 2,091+/- sq. ft. of living area, the 2-story, 3BR/2BA plan has been meticulously modified to a 2BR plus office, with the convenience of the laundry area on the same level. Rooms flow seamlessly, connected by grand arches and illuminated by the glow of recessed lighting throughout. The primary suite is beautifully done, with access to the terrace and a spa-like primary bath with dual vanities and walk-in shower. From the expansive great room, one encounters the dining area adjoined by the sleek, contemporary-style kitchen, which boasts a large center island, low profile cabinetry, top-quality stainless steel appliances, and a wall of windows and sliders to the fully screened second story deck, where outside living is exceptional. Overlooking the unique lagoon-style lap pool and lush, mature landscaping, the upstairs deck is the ideal space for quiet relaxation or cocktails with friends, with plenty of covered area and natural light through skylights. Residents of The Bayou have access to all the amenities of Bay Isles and its fabulous beach club. Longboat Key Golf & Tennis Country Club membership and Harbourside Moorings deepwater slips are available.
