Welcome to this charming "Chic Beachy" property, a true gem with vintage history, lovingly maintained by the same family since its original construction by Eddie Wenzel, the renowned builder of many homes in Country Club Shores on expansive canal-front lots. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath split-plan home has been fully remodeled with modern amenities while retaining its classic charm. Shiplap ceilings and new Bosch stainless steel appliances enhance the culinary experience in the open kitchen. Several walls have been opened up to create a light-filled, inviting space perfect for entertaining. Elegant porcelain floors flow throughout the house, leading to large hurricane-impact sliders that open to a sparkling blue pool, surrounded by lush greenery and a new pool cage for privacy. The split plan offers ultimate privacy for the owner's suite, with warm wooden floors and beautiful views of the pool patio and private canal. The primary bathroom features a walk-in shower with a handheld and rainwater system, a foldable teak bench, and timeless design elements like shiplap ceilings and frosted glass closet doors. The original plaster ceilings have been artistically hand-troweled, creating whimsical scenes of clouds and trees. These artistic touches are complemented by an inviting garden terrace with a soothing fountain, sweet birdhouses, and orchids, evoking a "secret garden" ambiance. The open "Art Wall" separates the great room from the well-designed kitchen, which includes a breakfast bar for two, a custom double-door pantry, and custom cabinetry with "rainwater" glass inserts. The space is warm and efficient, perfect for showcasing your crystal or collectibles. The large 2-car garage offers ample storage and a convenient laundry center, with an outside door for quick access to the garden, boating, or fishing on the new 100' seawall with a complete trek deck and 10,000 lb boat lift. Water and power are readily available for your daily enjoyment, just 5 minutes from Sarasota Bay. This beautifully renovated home in Country Club Shores is in pristine move-in condition, ready for you to enjoy the easy and fun bay-to-beach lifestyle on Longboat Key. Private beach access is a quick bike ride away, and you’re just 5 minutes from world-class golf, dining, and St. Armands Circle. This family-owned gem has undergone a complete renovation, from a new roof to interior plumbing. The soothing flow and neutral décor make it feel brand new, while the sturdy masonry structure assures lasting quality. The new seawall, boat lift, and Trex composite dock with gorgeous landscaping are just some of the many lovely updates.
