Residential Property - Villa in Longboat Key
Listing Price: $680,000
Description of Property
THE BAY! THE GULF! THE BEST OF BOTH! Imagine a place where every day begins with the peaceful beauty of Longboat Key's sparkling bay and ends beneath the breathtaking colors of a Gulf Coast sunset. Perfectly positioned between both shores, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath end-unit villa offers the rare opportunity to experience the very best of island living from one exceptional location. Nestled within the highly sought-after waterfront community of Windward Bay, this 1,504-square-foot residence welcomes you with a sense of light, warmth, and effortless coastal elegance. As an end unit, the villa enjoys additional windows, enhanced privacy, and an abundance of natural sunlight throughout the day. Luxury vinyl plank flooring flows seamlessly through the living spaces, while custom plantation shutters add timeless character and refinement. The thoughtfully renovated kitchen blends style and functionality with granite countertops, beautiful soft-close cabinetry, and an inviting layout designed for everyday living and easy entertaining. The spacious great room opens effortlessly to a private outdoor patio, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, or dining beneath the coastal breeze. Life here is refreshingly simple. Ground-level living means no stairs, no elevators, and convenient parking just steps from your front door. Whether you're arriving home from the beach or carrying in groceries, everything about this villa is designed for easy, maintenance-free living. Equally impressive are the community improvements already in place. In 2020, the exterior was upgraded with hurricane-impact windows, hurricane-impact sliding glass doors, and a new roof, providing valuable peace of mind for years to come. Windward Bay has long been one of Longboat Key's most treasured communities, and it's easy to understand why. Set across 26 beautifully landscaped waterfront acres, residents enjoy three beach access points, a scenic half-mile nature trail, two heated swimming pools, fitness center, sauna, clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, kayak launches, covered parking, storage areas, and boat docks available by waitlist. Dolphins, manatees, tropical birds, and other native wildlife are frequent visitors, making every walk through the community feel like a nature retreat. Pet-friendly and financially strong, Windward Bay has completed both its Milestone Inspection and Capital Reserve Study. Monthly fees were reduced in 2025 and increased by only $13 for 2026, reflecting responsible community management and long-term stability. From this ideal location, you're just minutes from St. Armands Circle, Downtown Sarasota, Bridge Street, championship golf, waterfront dining, boutique shopping, and the exceptional arts and cultural attractions that make Florida's Gulf Coast so desirable. More than a beautiful villa, this is a lifestyle defined by sunshine, serenity, and connection to the water. A place where morning bay views, evening Gulf sunsets, and the ease of resort-style living become part of your everyday experience. THE BEST OF LONGBOAT KEY ISN'T ON THE BAY OR THE GULF... IT'S BETWEEN THEM. Welcome Home to Villa 8 at Windward Bay.
