Welcome to this dreamy 3 bedroom 2 bath cottage in the highly sought after friendly Village of Longboat Key! It sits behind a custom gate amidst beautifully landscaped tropical surroundings that make you feel like you're living in your own private garden which was specifically planted with native trees, shrubs and plants that encourage and nourish local and migratory birds. A covered screened in porch welcomes you before you enter the cozy great room that features a wood burning fireplace and is open to the completely renovated kitchen with a breakfast bar with beautiful bamboo cabinets, a chef's natural gas range, and 2023 appliances. The lively and historic Longbeach Village offers a lifestyle coveted by many with a community dock and boat ramp and one of the nicest stretch of beaches on Longboat Key just a short distance away. After spending your evenings watching the gorgeous sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico you have your choice of 3 fabulous restaurants that are right here for your enjoyment.
