Discover an exceptional opportunity to live behind the gates of the Longboat Key Club in the highly coveted Corey’s Landing neighborhood — one of the island’s premier bayfront addresses. Set within an intimate, established enclave there is a difference in this property vs. others in the neighborhood: it’s a free-standing residence which means you don’t share any common elements with an attached neighbor necessitating joint decisions on when to paint or replace a roof. There are only four free standing homes such as this, the rest are attached. This home welcomes you through double doors into a showplace of light, style, and space with immediate expansive bay views. Step outside to the expansive screened lanai — an inviting oasis for relaxing or entertaining by the pool while taking in mesmerizing bay views and the twinkling lights of downtown Sarasota. Enjoy immediate bay access with the private boat dock and lift. Inside, soaring transom windows, walls of glass, and rich wood floors enhance the open great-room design — a perfect setting for entertaining around the elegant fireplace. The updated kitchen connects seamlessly to the dining and living areas, showcasing sleek white cabinetry, a striking tile backsplash, solid-surface countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous breakfast bar ideal for casual gatherings. The first-floor primary suite is a private retreat with walls of glass, a cozy sitting area, custom built-ins, dual closets, and a luxurious remodeled bath featuring dual vanities, a large walk-in shower, and a separate water closet. Also on the main level are a private guest suite, second bedroom, full bathroom, a study/den, and a convenient outdoor dog space. Upstairs, a versatile loft provides the flexibility for a gym, library, or additional guest accommodations. The attached two-car garage offers ample storage, while Corey’s Landing residents enjoy access to a community pool, spa, Har-Tru tennis courts, and the private Bay Isles Beach Club. Ideally located near world-class shopping, dining, and the renowned St. Armands Circle, this residence captures the essence of the Longboat Key lifestyle — elegant, relaxed, and effortlessly connected to both land and sea.
