608 Buttonwood Dr., Longboat Key, FL 34228

Longboat Key’s Buttonwood Harbor, an enclave of unique homes, tucked away on quiet, shady lanes, wraps around a little harbor and then a canal which meanders out to Buttonwood Bayou and into Sarasota Bay. An access to the white sandy beaches is incredibly close. Deep water dockage is available in the harbor for $350 per year. The renowned Avenue of the Flowers shopping center is conveniently just around the corner. With a location that is almost too good to be true, this one owner residence can be described in the same terms. Never before offered, this distinctive “jewel box” of a home is unique in many respects. Beautifully executed upgrades over the years have kept the pace with the “most wanted” features while retaining the warmth of the home’s character. The avid gardener will appreciate the orchid house and planting beds. A separate list of the extensive upgrades and improvements is attached to the listing. Lush landscaping in addition to fencing on 3 sides creates a rare privacy for the sunlit 14x28 pool. Fine craftsmanship is apparent in cabinetry of the living room, kitchen and baths.
