Public Remarks
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. An exceptional offering in the sought-after Longbeach neighborhood of Longboat Key. Located on the Manatee County side of the island, this original 1935 coastal cottage sits on an oversized .34+ acre waterfront lot with approximately 78 feet of water frontage and an impressive depth of roughly 192 feet, offering direct, bridge-free access to the Intracoastal Waterway, Sarasota Bay, and the Gulf of America. Enjoy the luxury of a short walk to the beach, no HOA fees, and flexible rental terms with a one-month minimum allowed up to 12 times annually. RSF-6 zoning (Single-Family Medium-High Density) allows up to six units an acre (buyer to verify), opening the door to a primary residence with guest house, pool, and spa; and more! An existing dock (currently damaged and not usable as is) already has water and electric in place, with neighboring boats ranging between approximately 20-25 feet or larger in length; and ample room for a large lap pool and expansive outdoor entertaining. Over $100, 000 in capital improvements include a shingle roof (2023), and extensive interior updates completed in 2025 following storm remediation, including all new flooring, paint, cabinetry, and drywall. Additional upgrades include a new 2.5-ton AC system (2024), electrical improvements with a 200-amp panel and grounding, water heater (2025), hurricane impact windows in most rooms, including the primary bedroom, kitchen, both bathrooms, and living room, a sizable upgrade to the home. Private irrigation well, providing peace of mind, long-term efficiency and conveniences of moving right in to enjoy this exceptional home and property! Offering two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and approximately 1, 180 square feet, the home retains timeless island character with original cypress walls and ceilings, abundant windows, and a wood-burning fireplace that anchors the living space. A standout feature is the 15x33 rear-facing covered and screened lanai, providing approximately 510 square feet of under-roof outdoor living with pitched ceilings, fans, sun shades, and fully pocketing sliding glass doors, with the flexibility to incorporate this space into additional interior living if desired. The updated half-galley kitchen features shaker wood cabinetry, soft-close drawers, light quartz countertops, an LG stainless steel appliance package, deep stainless sink, pull-outs, and lazy Susan, all overlooking the front stoop and lawn. The spacious primary ensuite measures approximately 10x22 and includes room for seating or office use, dual sinks, his-and-hers closets, and a shower/tub combination. A shared full bath offers inlaid tile flooring and a walk-in shower with marble step. Wood flooring runs throughout with tile in the bathrooms, offering NO carpeting. Additional features include a shell and paver driveway, French front door, expansive fully pocketed sliding glass doors, gutters, fenced yard, and a one-car carport (that houses the washer, dryer and hot water heater). One of the last remaining original cottages in the Whitney Beach / LongBeach area, this property offers a compelling opportunity to restore historic charm, reimagine the footprint, or create a refined waterfront estate defined by location, land, boating, beach access, flexibility, and vision—an increasingly scarce combination on Longboat Key.
