Property Description
60% OWNER FINANCING AVAILABLE - Step into a private coastal sanctuary at 3481 Bayou Sound, located within one of Longboat Key’s most exclusive gated communities. Accessed through two secured gates and a guarded entrance, this residence offers a level of privacy and security rarely found. Ideally situated just moments from Publix, and within walking distance to the marina, golf course, and premier waterfront dining, the home delivers both convenience and an elevated island lifestyle. Ownership includes access to the Bay Isles Beach Club, offering private beach access on the Gulf of America, along with barbecue areas, tables, and shaded spaces, perfect for effortless, all-day beach enjoyment. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings create a dramatic, light-filled living space. The home has been thoughtfully upgraded with new flooring throughout, a fully renovated kitchen, and new hurricane impact windows and doors. The remaining front entry and garage doors will be replaced prior to closing, completing a full storm-ready envelope. Outdoors, enjoy true waterfront living with a brand new dock and lift, providing direct access to boating right from your backyard. A rare offering combining privacy, security, and effortless luxury in the heart of Longboat Key.
