Set at the peaceful end of a wide, deep canal on the north end of Longboat Key, this waterfront residence in Emerald Harbor offers a rare combination of space, privacy and effortless boating access. With long views straight down the canal and quick entry to Sarasota Bay, the setting feels calm, open and ideally positioned for life on the water. A circular paver brick drive framed by meticulously maintained landscaping leads to the front entrance, where a barrel tile roof and timeless exterior details create a welcoming first impression. Inside, 3,098+/- sq. ft. of thoughtfully planned living space unfolds in soft neutral tones, complemented by abundant natural light, large tile flooring, crown molding and expansive windows throughout the main living areas. The living room is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, featuring a full wall of pocket sliders that open completely to a covered sitting area accented by a pecky cypress ceiling. From here, the view extends across the pool, private dock and calm canal beyond, creating a natural backdrop for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. The kitchen anchors the home with ease and functionality, offering a center island with breakfast bar, wood cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash and pendant lighting. Its placement allows the home to flow comfortably for gatherings or quiet evenings alike. The floor plan offers exceptional flexibility, with two generously sized suites. The main primary suite features a tray ceiling, a large custom walk-in closet and a beautifully updated bath with dual vanities, glass-enclosed shower and convenient access to the outdoor living area. A second suite includes its own custom walk-in closet and en suite bath, making it ideal for guests or extended family. Two additional bedrooms and a study overlooking the water complete the layout, along with three and a half total baths. Outdoors, the setting feels private yet expansive, with a sparkling pool and a private dock equipped with a boat lift. The canal offers excellent boating water with no-bridge access to the Intracoastal Waterway, Sarasota Bay and the Gulf. Emerald Harbor is a bayside enclave of just 82 homes, known for its broad lagoon-style canals and deeded private beach access located one block away.
