One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. 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.
