RARE, DIRECT BEACH/GULF-FRONT WALKDOWN LEVEL, FULLY RENOVATED, LARGE FLOOR PLAN, AND TURNKEY/FULLY FURNISHED AT BEACHPLACE ON LONGBOAT KEY! Beach front views from the living areas as well as the primary bedroom, which includes a private door leading from the bedroom to the exterior lanaii. Experience Longboat Key beachfront living from this exceptional residence offering the coveted combination of direct Gulf frontage and true walkdown and walkout access. Take your private steps from your private terrace onto the beautifully maintained Gulf-front grounds, with the beach and turquoise waters of the Gulf just beyond to begin enjoying the sand, sunsets and coastal lifestyle. (There is a general building elevator to access the condo and the beach, in addition to the private stairs.) This unit was completely gutted and renovated in 2017 with wood-look plank porcelain tile flooring throughout, a redesigned open kitchen with extensive cabinetry, large peninsula/breakfast bar, quartz countertops throughout, tile backsplash, recessed lighting, stainless appliances, and an induction cooktop. Both bathrooms have been remodeled; the primary bath has a large double vanity, dual undermount sinks, extensive cabinetry and a separate glass-enclosed shower. The guest bath is also renovated with a glass tub/shower enclosure and contemporary solid surface vanity. What makes this residence particularly special is its scarcity: Beachplace has only 22 direct Gulf-front walkdown level condominium residences, making this one of the community’s most limited and desirable locations. Enjoy sweeping Gulf views and the feeling of living directly on the beach, with the convenience and ease that only a walkdown level residence can provide. Located within Beachplace, one of Longboat Key’s most established Gulf-front communities, residents enjoy a resort-style lifestyle with an expansive Jr. Olympic-size heated pool and hot tub, BBQ gas grills by the pool, air conditioned clubhouse with two state-of-the-art fitness rooms, lighted tennis/pickleball courts, beautifully landscaped grounds, 24-hour manned guard gate, sidewalks, and approximately 1,450 feet of pristine Gulf beachfront. Whether used as a full-time residence, seasonal retreat or Longboat Key getaway, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Beachplace’s limited direct Gulf-front walkdown level residences—where the Gulf of Mexico is not simply your view, but an extension of your backyard.
