538 Spanish Dr., Longboat Key, FL 34228

This lovely stand-alone villa has been meticulously maintained and is located a stone's throw away from the pristine beaches of Longboat Key and the Gulf of Mexico. The kitchen has been tastefully redesigned in 2008-2011 with granite countertops, maple roll-out cabinets, new fixtures, lighting, newer dishwasher and refrigerator. Terrazzo flooring throughout creates the perfect palate for any style decor, plus is extremely easy to maintain. The rear Florida room has an abundance of windows, up to hurricane code, that give a bright, light and cheerful feel to the entire villa. Barrel tile and membrane roof installed new in 2011 and air conditioner in 2006. The spacious backyard has a sizable paver patio and an outdoor storage area as well. An extra, special feature is sitting on the front porch and enjoying the serene partial view of the Spanish Main lake. This hidden jewel includes deeded beach access, heated community pool, recreational clubhouse and a deepwater marina that holds up to 45-foot vessels, which creates easy access for kayaking, fishing, boating and so much more. It is pet-friendly, plus you can be under 55 to purchase. Socially active and friendly, this sought-after maintenance-free waterfront community is very charming. Close to shopping, restaurants, St. Armand’s Circle and the beautiful sunsets of Longboat Key.
