1045 Gulf Of Mexico Dr. #401, Longboat Key, FL 34228

"Creative Thinking" was the title given by the Sarasota Herald Tribune when it featured this very unique Beachplace residence several years ago. When the current owner, who had worked in the home furnishings departments of Bloomingdale's, Macy's and Jordan Marsh Stores moved from New York, he saw an opportunity to dramatically change the interior & invent a new concept of space. Amazingly, this Gulf front residence continues to offer elements that create a very different interior. Besides the overall brightness, one immediately notices the higher ceilings with recessed lighting & the maple hardwood floor. Venturing further inside, one finds that the open kitchen with 42" maple cabinets & dark granite counter tops has been integrated with a granite dining table & leather dining chairs. The living room space has been enhanced by a fully mirrored wall that expands the Gulf of Mexico views to three walls. Even the baby grand piano in the living room does not overwhelm the space. The master bedroom offers unobstucted views of the Gulf of Mexico & features a coffered ceiling effect with recessed lighting & a ceiling fan. The master bath is an open plan that features pocket privacy door, built in drawers, double hung closet & a large glass enclosed shower that also offeres a view of the Gulf of Mexico. The guest bedroom features a closet that offers double hanging & multiple shelves & a nice bath. The entire interior has high baseboards & solid core doors. This would make a desirable home or investment.
