$3,495,000 Longboat Key 4BR, Privacy and tranquility abound in this in Longboat Key, Florida

Privacy and tranquility abound in this idyllic beach front property. You will be immediately transformed as you embark down the winding shell drive through its lushly landscaped grounds to this truly iconic gulf front home, as memorialized on canvas by local artist John Dineen and frequented over the years by the likes of members of Aerosmith. Just shy of 1.5 secluded acres, this unique tropical oasis is nestled among other private gulf front residences on similarly sized parcels (not between condos and multi family complexes). This barrier island escape has been lovingly preserved by its current owner for decades and now on the market for the first time in its present expanded configuration. It will be the new owner's choice to renovate, rejuvenate or replace the xxxx square foot elevated cypress residence with cathedral ceilings throughout and breath taking vistas of the Gulf of Mexico or continue to use it as is while collecting handsome rental income. Showings of this Longboat Key retreat are by appointment only.
