The Quintessence of Coastal Living: A British West Indies Masterpiece on Longboat Key - Where Architecture Meets Paradise. Offered turn-key, this exquisite 4,000+ sq. ft., 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence in Longboat Key’s prestigious Bonaire subdivision is a rare union of refined British West Indies architecture and the serene beauty of Florida’s Gulf Coast. Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully crafted to evoke a sense of effortless luxury—where sun-kissed days and gentle Gulf breezes blur the line between indoors and out. From the moment you step through the grand entrance, you’re embraced by light, texture, and tranquility. Creamy finishes, warm woods, and bespoke millwork elevate every space, while expansive windows and French doors invite in the turquoise glow of the Gulf and the soothing rhythm of coastal life. Main Level Elegance - The heart of the home features an open-concept chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances: a Wolf 6-burner gas range with custom vent hood, dual Asko dishwashers, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Wolf convection/microwave, and a 50-bottle wine captain. Quartz countertops, artisan pendant lighting, and a massive island with farmhouse sink make this space as beautiful as it is functional. The adjoining dining and great room flow effortlessly to an expansive balcony - perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The main-floor Primary Suite offers tray ceilings, shiplap accents, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, double-entry stone shower, and sparkling stone vanities. Two additional ensuite guest rooms on this level echo the home’s airy, coastal elegance, and exceptional quality. Upper-Level Retreat - Ascend to a private owner’s sanctuary with dual custom closets and a lavish bath adorned with blue calcite counters, glass mosaic tile, and a freestanding tub. This level includes a substantial private balcony with access to the upper-level viewing balcony. The Observation Deck - Crowning the home is the ultimate vantage point—a “crow’s nest” with panoramic Gulf and Sarasota Bay views. It’s here you’ll end each day watching sunsets paint the horizon in unforgettable color. Resort-Style Outdoor Living - The pool retreat is an absolute showstopper - pocketing sliding doors reveal coral stone terraces, a resort-style pool with sun shelf and tiled cocktail table, a 10-person spa, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with seating for eight. The entire area is lined with an automatic insect elimination system to ensure you can enjoy the outdoors all year long. Optical lighting enhances the overflowing water features which seem to dance in the glow of firelight, creating the perfect setting for stargazing or nightcaps. The community provides private beach access and is close to world-class golf, tennis, fine dining, and the largest deep-water marina on the Gulf coast. This is more than a home - it’s a sanctuary, a work of art, and a lifestyle. Delivered exactly as you see it, fully furnished and ready to enjoy, this British West Indies masterpiece awaits the one discerning buyer ready to claim the very best of Longboat Key coastal living.
