About this home
Rarely does a property offer this much land, waterfront, and location value within the cherished Longbeach community of Longboat Key. Located on the desirable Manatee County side of the island, this original 1935 coastal cottage sits on an oversized .34+ acre waterfront lot with approximately 78 feet of frontage and an impressive 192-foot depth—dimensions increasingly difficult to find on Longboat Key. Enjoy direct, bridge-free boating to the Intracoastal Waterway, Sarasota Bay, and the Gulf of America, making it an exceptional opportunity for boaters, investors, or those looking to build a future waterfront estate. All just moments from the beach and within walking distance of the charm and character of Longbeach Village.
Enjoy a short walk to the beach, no HOA fees, and flexible rentals with one-month minimums allowed up to 12 times per year. RSF-6 zoning (buyer to verify) allows up to six units per acre, offering potential for a primary home with guest house, pool, and spa. An existing dock (currently damaged) already has water and electric, and the lot provides ample space for a large lap pool and outdoor entertaining.
Over $100,000 in capital improvements include a shingle roof (2023), and extensive interior updates completed in 2025 following storm remediation, including all new flooring, paint, cabinetry, and drywall. Additional upgrades include a new 2.5-ton AC system (2024), electrical improvements with a 200-amp panel and grounding, water heater (2025), hurricane impact windows in most rooms, including the primary bedroom, kitchen, both bathrooms, and living room, a sizable upgrade to the home. Private irrigation well, providing peace of mind, long-term efficiency and conveniences of moving right in to enjoy this exceptional home and property!
Offering two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and approximately 1,180 square feet, the home retains timeless island character with original cypress walls and ceilings, abundant windows, and a wood-burning fireplace that anchors the living space. A standout feature is the 15x33 rear-facing covered and screened lanai, providing approximately 510 square feet of under-roof outdoor living with pitched ceilings, fans, sun shades, and fully pocketing sliding glass doors, with the flexibility to incorporate this space into additional interior living if desired.
The updated half-galley kitchen features shaker wood cabinetry, soft-close drawers, light quartz countertops, an LG stainless steel appliance package, deep stainless sink, pull-outs, and lazy Susan, all overlooking the front stoop and lawn.
The spacious primary ensuite measures approximately 10x22 and includes room for seating or office use, dual sinks, his-and-hers closets, and a shower/tub combination. A shared full bath offers inlaid tile flooring and a walk-in shower with marble step. Wood flooring runs throughout with tile in the bathrooms, offering NO carpeting.
Additional features include a shell and paver driveway, French front door, expansive fully pocketed sliding glass doors, gutters, fenced yard, and a one-car carport (that houses the washer, dryer and hot water heater). One of the last remaining original cottages in the Whitney Beach / LongBeach area, this property offers a compelling opportunity to restore historic charm, reimagine the footprint, or create a refined waterfront estate defined by location, land, boating, beach access, flexibility, and vision.
