This bespoke crafted casually elegant furnished residence is in the exclusive gated Lighthouse Point waterfront enclave of just 16 custom residences at the southern tip of Longboat Key. Lighthouse Point is a peninsula nestled on a deep-water boat basin at the edge of the Intracoastal Waterway and New Pass. This residence has been completely remodeled within the past couple years, taken down to the studs to create the ideal coastal waterfront estate. Longfield Fitzgerald of Atlanta oversaw the interior design. The improvements included new impact glass windows and doors throughout and a new tile roof. The furnishings are chosen to make the space comfortable for both relaxing seaside living, as well as hosting family and guests. No detail has been overlooked. The first level includes an open floor plan with a living, family and dining room with a separate media room, and the fifth bedroom with double bunk beds for the little ones.
