Step into living history in the heart of Historic Longbeach Village. This exceptional property occupies land that was part of Civil War veteran Thomas Mann’s 144-acre homestead, where in 1891 he built the island’s first permanent residence just steps away. This serene corner lot is where Longboat Key truly began! Fully rebuilt and elevated in 2025 to the highest modern standards after the 2024 storms, this turnkey coastal residence offers unmatched peace of mind and contemporary luxury. The light-filled, open-concept interior features vaulted ceilings, a gourmet kitchen with new stainless-steel appliances and quartz countertops, and two beautifully appointed spa bathrooms with premium fixtures and rainfall showers. The primary suite indulges with a king bed, wet bar, mini-fridge, and a windowed en-suite bath, while the second bedroom provides a comfortable queen bed. A dedicated home office is your third bedroom, with its full-size Murphy bed/desk.

The private tropical backyard serves as a tranquil oasis, complete with a serene lily-pad pond, fire pit, and mature landscaping. Delivered fully furnished with beautiful coastal décor and equipped with high-speed fiber internet, the home is ideal for immediate personal enjoyment, remote work, or proven vacation-rental income. Grandfathered Village zoning permits short-term rentals.

Enjoy an unparalleled lifestyle just a short walk from Whitney Beach, historic fishing docks, bay kayak launches, and waterfront dining. Longboat Key Club, St. Armands Circle, and downtown Sarasota’s world-class amenities are only minutes away.

Rarely available: authentic historic significance, a total top-to-bottom 2025 rebuild, and the quintessential Village address. Move-in ready
