It's an ideal opportunity to renovate or build your dream home in the heart of the pedestrian and golf-cart friendly historic Longbeach Village with numerous waterfront restaurants and shops nearby. Located on Longboat Key's north end, this charming midcentury cedar-framed residence is set back on an expansive elevated lot with a deep front yard. The property boasts a private oasis in the rear, complete with a generous pool, spa and low-maintenance lawn.

The open concept living room and kitchen areas showcase cathedral-height ceilings, enhancing the sense of space. Modern drop lighting accents the kitchen and the layout offers easy flow and a relaxed living experience. A vibrant orange exterior and the light-filled rooms contribute to the home's bright, uplifting atmosphere. Additional spaces include a generous den, a bonus room and an office, offering versatility for various needs such as a fourth bedroom if desired. The outdoor deck is ideal for entertaining or relaxing, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. This property is one of the neighborhood's favorites and presents a unique opportunity to reimagine its full potential. Interior photos include images from before and after remediation.
