Just Sold Longboat Key Beach House…
Monday, June 29th, 2009Last week after nearly 15 months of looking on all of Sarasota’s barrier islands, from as far south as Casey Key, Siesta Key and all the way to Anna Maria we findly settled on Longboat Key’s north end. Our beach house sits in a quite, out of the way neighborhood called Sleepy Lagoon that is home to some of the best beach properties in the world…
The best news is, it sold for $2.1m! It was listed for $2.995m, and “on market” for 337 days. The home nextdoor (pic below) sold in April for $2.0m and was “on market for 775 days.
And a 3rd home has a contract pending (pic below)…
The $2.0m “mark” seems to be the number at which buyers and sellers are agreeing for a “direct beach front home.” Of course depending on the size and condition of the property will also determine price.
The home pictured below is an “active listing’” in charming Sleepy Lagoon and is currently on the market for $2.995m and has been on for over 2 years. It’s a much bigger home featuring 3248 sq/ft, a pool and 5 bed rooms plus a detached garage that has all sorts of possibilities. This home looks like one you’d find in Pottery Barn as the interior boosts a beachy feel kind of look.
I believe that their are currently many more excellent opportunities for “bargains on the beach” I have intimate knowledge of all 3 islands and would enjoy speaking with you about them. If you’re interested in what’s available in the Sarasota real estate market please call me, 941 320 6687.
