Longboat Key Waterfront Estate with Rare Beach and Boating Access. Designed by Stofft Cooney Architects and built in 2022 by Perrone Construction, one of the Gulf Coast’s premier luxury builders, this stunning coastal residence is a rare offering that blends modern design, structural integrity, and an exceptional location. Positioned on the desirable northern end of Longboat Key, the home offers a lifestyle few can match, with both deeded beach access directly across the street and canal frontage in the backyard. Where most homes require a choice between Gulf or Bay, this property offers the best of both. Step inside to discover a layout designed for both comfort and sophistication. The main level features a serene primary suite with a spa-inspired bathroom, a seated vanity, and a custom walk-in closet. A thoughtfully planned home office includes a custom built-in desk with dual workstations, offering dedicated space for both homeowners. The open-concept living area flows effortlessly into the designer kitchen, outfitted with quartz counters, Thermador appliances, a paneled refrigerator and freezer, wine fridge, and ice maker. A hidden walk-in pantry provides additional prep space and ample storage. Upstairs, a central family lounge connects three en-suite bedrooms, two with tranquil canal views where manatees are often spotted lingering at the water’s surface. The upper level is easily accessed by both a residential elevator and a beautifully crafted staircase with integrated storage. Every room has been carefully curated to reflect the home’s effortless luxury. For buyers seeking a fully realized, move-in-ready experience, furnishings can be negotiated separately. Outdoor living is elevated with a heated saltwater pool and spa, expansive lounging and dining terraces, and a fully equipped summer kitchen featuring stone counters, a Lynx grill, and built-in refrigeration, all protected by push-button retractable hurricane shutters. A dedicated pool bath adds convenience and keeps wet feet out of the house. The private dock includes a 16,000-pound boat lift, a 4,500-pound kayak or jet ski lift, plus additional space to dock a larger vessel in the water. The dock is fully outfitted with shore power, running water, integrated lighting, and a fish-cleaning station, ready for both adventure and convenience. Built high and dry, the home remained fully protected during recent storms, a true reflection of the enduring quality behind its construction. Combining beauty, function, and peace of mind, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of Longboat Key living, free from compromise.
