5320 GULF OF MEXICO DRIVE UNIT 101, LONGBOAT KEY, FL 34228

About This Property

Rarely available within the intimate nine-residence bayfront community of Longboat Landing, this beautifully updated three-bedroom residence captures panoramic Sarasota Bay views and effortless waterfront living from its prized location on the north end of Longboat Key. Offered turnkey furnished and completely move-in ready, the getaway combines a refined coastal aesthetic with the rare convenience of on-site boat slips and docks (on a first-come basis) capable of accommodating up to a 26-foot vessel—creating an ideal opportunity for boating enthusiasts seeking immediate enjoyment. Spanning more than 1,300 square feet, the open-concept layout is filled with natural light and designed to maximize the calming bayfront setting. Contemporary wood-grain tile flooring flows throughout the residence, while crown molding, high ceilings, and chic modern finishes enhance the interiors. An extended foyer hallway leads to the sunlit great room, where walls of impact-rated floor-to-ceiling pocketing sliders open completely to the screened bayfront terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection framed by sparkling blue water views. The granite kitchen overlooks the main living spaces and was thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Features include a wraparound breakfast bar, informal dining area, solid-wood cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and generous prep space. Recent upgrades provide added peace of mind, including a 2024 A/C replacement, 2023 Hardi Plank siding installation, impact-rated windows and sliding doors throughout, kitchen and bath renovations, updated finishes, ductwork modifications, and a newer roof. The primary suite is positioned directly along the bayfront, offering tranquil water views and private terrace access. Two additional guest bedrooms are arranged in a split plan for privacy, including one en-suite guest suite and a third bedroom currently utilized as a home office. Completing the residence are a private laundry room, two under-building parking spaces, and additional exterior storage. Outside, residents enjoy the relaxed waterfront lifestyle Longboat Landing is known for, with amenities including dock slips, fishing pier, heated community pool, and tennis court—all surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and Sarasota Bay vistas. Perfectly positioned along Gulf of Mexico Drive, this charming bayfront getaway is moments from Longboat Key’s renowned beaches, waterfront dining, boutique shopping, marinas, and scenic biking paths. St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota are just a short drive away, offering fine dining, galleries, theaters, Selby Gardens, and Sarasota’s vibrant cultural attractions. Rarely available, beautifully updated, and directly on Sarasota Bay, this residence offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace the best of Longboat Key waterfront living.
