Welcome to the sought-after Emerald Harbor community of Longboat Key, where charm meets coastal living. This SUNSET West-exposed residence boasts an enviable location, offering water views and the tranquility of waterfront living. It has over 100' of water frontage on a wide, deep sailboat water channel with direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway without bridges. With the recent hurricane, water entered the home. However, this presents a unique opportunity to customize and enhance the property to your specifications, ensuring it meets your highest standards of coastal living and resilience. As you step inside, you are greeted by a living area illuminated by natural light streaming through the windows and sliding glass doors. The layout seamlessly connects the living room to the kitchen, making it perfect for entertaining family and friends. The spacious bedrooms provide ample privacy. Outside, you'll discover a private backyard that serves as your retreat, ideal for enjoying the gorgeous Florida weather or hosting gatherings. Whether you want to create a peaceful garden or a vibrant outdoor living space, this home offers a canvas for your vision. Emerald Harbor is a residential community located 2.2 miles from the north end of Longboat Key and 7.7 miles from the south end. Emerald Harbor consists of 82 beautifully landscaped properties, all approximately 0.3-0.6 acres in size and all fronting on wide, deep-water canals. The canals in Emerald Harbor provide easy access to and from Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway. Emerald Harbor features a 20-foot-wide, white-sand, Gulf-beach frontage with benches. This frontage is accessed via an equally wide, foliage-lined, maintained path from Gulf of Mexico Drive that begins directly across from the Emerald Harbor common entry/exit. The beachfrontage and access path are private and for the benefit of Emerald Harbor property owners and their guests only. Once this opportunity is gone, it's gone.
