Beach lovers welcome to Whitney Beach! This lush & tropical community is located on the North Shore of pristine Longboat Key. Lush mature landscapes abound with room to roam & relaxing space throughout. Total of 17 acres incorporating both the Gulf & Bayside of Longboat Key. A true Gulf to Bay community w/ appx 800 ft of deeded beach on the sugary white sands of the Gulf of Mexico, on Bayside there is appx 1000ft of waterfront w/ 2 separate docks & multiple boat slips on the water called Bishops Bayou, a natural protected waterway that provides a perfect safe harbour for your boat. Scenic, deep & quick commute to Sarasota Bay & ICW. Back on the Gulf side there is appx 2.5 acres called the conservancy, here you'll find a rare amenity space w/ 2 tennis & pickleball courts, shuffleboard, BBQ grills, 2 Tiki Huts w/ table/chairs & community beach loungers. True gem is so rare to have immediately on the sand, this beach location is arguably one of the best. Secluded & very wide between the dunes & the water. Also very close to Beer Can Island & LBK Pass, allowing a little bit more water flow creating more of a turquoise watercolor. Condo #167 is an absolute special unit. Its all about its location & its Effortless 150+/- degree Views. From the large open Great Room/Kitchen combo space there is not an inch in this space where you can not see a Full water view, absolutely breathtaking, there is nothing like enjoying a manatee playing with her calf while sitting on the couch (literally enjoyed this exact moment personally 9/23/20). Back to the open space of the condo, a rare design really utilizes space in an open area maximizing the room & helping the condo feel much larger than your standard 1 bed. Kitchen has upgraded SS appliances & hardware, overall in excellent condition. Large breakfast bar overlooking the family room. Really usable space set up w/ murphy bed for add'l sleeping space when needed. The master is very spacious w/ immediate direct access to the bathroom helping create its own ensuite. Master gives a glimpse of the Gulf waters to wake up to! Lots of closet & storage space along w/ washer/dryer. Brand new waterproof luxury vinyl floors just installed. Beautiful driftwood color w/ textured surface consistent throughout. Perfect for the beach! Walkability living here w/ 5 established well known restaurants located less than 6/10s of a mile from your entrance.
