611 Hibiscus Way, Longboat Key, FL 34228

Mature trees surround this 3 bedroom/2 bath home, reminiscent of an "old Florida" cottage in the art- filled Longboat Key Village. The tastefully updated home blends yesterday's charm with today's modern conveniences. Newer windows and doors, crown moldings, tongue and groove wood ceilings, and wainscoting compliment the charm of the home. Tile floors are conveniently low maintenance and a long-lasting metal roof tops the cottage with style. The kitchen's granite counter tops, glass tile backsplashes, light cabinetry, high-end stainless steel appliances, Franke farmhouse sink and gas range are perfect for the active chef. An architect-designed Bahamian sitting porch, cozy outdoor living spaces and master bedroom's screened lanai are ideal for relaxation or entertaining. Surrounded by fruit trees, mature palms, and tropical bamboo, the lushly- landscaped fenced yard offers the perfect amount of privacy. The cottage is in close proximity to one of the finest sandy beaches on Longboat Key, the Village's boat/kayak launch and dock, an idyllic sailboat harbor and two popular local restaurants. Just a short drive away is the shopping and dining of The Center Shops, St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota. This home is perfectly suited for boaters, bikers, artists and dog lovers seeking a true "neighborhood" on Longboat Key.
