701 Norton St., Longboat Key, FL 34228

This fabulous Florida home sits on a wide canal on the quaint and friendly north end of Longboat Key. Only 5 houses in from the intracoastal waterway with no fixed bridges to the sparkling Gulf of Mexico, have your boat at the ready on your lift out back, or jump on your kayak or paddleboard and go. The views of the tropical backyard and the sparkling canal can be seen from almost every room in the house. With a beautiful deeded beach just a moment away and no high rises, many days it feels like your own private spot in the sand. The home has been lovingly cared for by the same owner and is ready for you to move right in, but it’s also priced right if you wish to invest in your own personal touches. The lifestyle here can be whatever you make it! Quietly enjoy living in an island community where beach and boating and sunset watching are a daily event, or take advantage of the many amazing restaurants, shopping at world famous St.Armand’s Circle, or enjoying the thriving arts and culture of downtown Sarasota just over the bridge.
