This Longboat Key beach front property is aptly named "High Spirits" by the sellers, as it will be difficult to find a more beautiful, emotive beach setting for this price on the north end of the Key. With five bedrooms and five baths, this open-plan home is sure to delight any family or group of friends gathered here. Not only does this property feature 100 linear feet on the Gulf of Mexico, but with almost 1.3 acres, there is still room for expansion should a buyer so desire. A long 200 foot driveway with custom made pavers leads you through an expansive, landscaped garden with fruit trees directly to the majestic home. Front stairs end directly at a double, glass front door. Step inside, and you are immediately taken by an expansive great room with cathedral ceilings and direct views to the Gulf of Mexico. If these priceless views are not enough, enjoy a gas fireplace, wet bar and expansive kitchen with Siematic cabinetry and stainless appliances which are sure to make this an incomparable entertaining space. In addition to a screened in porch off the main living area, there is also an open porch with an easily maneuverable staircase to the 40-foot long swimming pool. Swim laps and see the sparkling clear Gulf waters, or simply take the path from the pool gate and walk through the oats and white sands of the beach to the shores' edge. Located at the north end of Longboat Key, this home is five miles to the historic village of Cortez on the mainland, or a 20-minute drive to St. Armand's Circle.
