This property has it all!

It is a fabulous, fully air-conditioned, custom-built previous model home at Conrad Beach on the Northern tip of Longboat Key and it has been featured in Southern Living & Coastal Living magazines. It provides the highest standards of comfort and luxury and was completed in 2001 by an award-winning architectural team.

Conrad Beach is a beachside community consisting of just 21 homes located between historic Longbeach Village and a Gulfside sugar-sand beach, known for its dolphin sightings, turtle-watches and glorious sunsets! A 120 acre coastal nature preserve is just north of the property, as are exccellent fishing opportunities - and outstanding marina facilities are to the south and on nearby Anna Maria Island. Many fine restaurants are within easy reach -two within walking distance - as are a variety of local stores. Within a few minutes' drive are golfing, tennis and many other sporting facilities, wildlife parks and also Sarasota's popular St. Armand's Circle.

The property comprises over 5,000 square feet of space, comfortably accommodating up to eight persons on three levels.

A private driveway leads to the front of the house, secured with a monitored alarm system, and from the pleasant porch at the ground floor entrance level there is a fine wooden staircase leading up to the main living area.

On one side is the fully-carpeted lounge with two comfortable leather sofas, a fireplace and an occasional table. For your enjoyment there is cable TV, a DVD and a CD player/music system that supplies sound individually to every room in the house as well as to the outside leisure areas. Sliding glass doors open up to the South-facing balcony on which there are two rocking chairs.

On the other side is the formal dining room with a table and chairs for six. In this spacious area is also a large convertible sofa-bed, providing comfortable sleeping for two persons. Adjacent is a delightful wet-bar.
