About 520 Harbor Cay Drive, Longboat Key, FL 34228

MLS# A4643565

This exceptional two-story waterfront residence, situated in the prestigious Harbor section of Bay Isles, has been meticulously renovated to reflect contemporary elegance and luxurious coastal living. Enveloped by lush tropical landscaping, the home welcomes you through an impressive French door entry into a grand foyer, where soaring ceilings, gleaming travertine flooring, and a striking wrought iron floating staircase with dark wood steps establish a refined ambiance that extends throughout the property.

The lower level offers a bright and spacious open-concept layout featuring hardwood flooring that enhances the inviting atmosphere while showcasing the timeless beauty of natural materials. The expansive family room is centered around an exquisite fireplace adorned with decorative columns and an elegant mantel, with French doors providing direct access to the waterfront lanai, seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor living.

The chef’s kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, boasting a large island with a waterfall granite countertop, custom cabinetry, ample storage, and premium stainless steel appliances, including a six-burner gas range and double ovens. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area and great room flow effortlessly together. The great room is both grand and inviting, highlighted by a dramatic wood-clad cathedral ceiling and enhanced by a second stone fireplace, while three sets of French doors open to the lanai, reinforcing the home’s connection to its stunning natural surroundings.

This level also includes two spacious guest suites, each with a full bath, one offering direct lanai access, as well as a versatile den with an additional full bath. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private sanctuary. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the space in natural light, and French doors lead to a generous private balcony, providing captivating water views and a serene retreat. A cozy fireplace enhances the ambiance, while the spa-inspired en-suite bath features marble flooring, a soaking tub, dual vanities, a frameless glass walk-in shower, and a water closet, all overlooking the tranquil waterway.

The outdoor living space is equally remarkable, thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertainment. The expansive lanai offers multiple covered areas with rich wood-clad ceilings and retractable screens, a sun-drenched open-air section, and a stunning saltwater pool with travertine decking surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. Beyond the pool, a private dock with a boat lift sits on a deep-water basin and wide canal with no bridges to Sarasota Bay, offering direct access for boating enthusiasts. Bay Isles Beach Club membership is included.

This extraordinary residence seamlessly integrates sophistication, comfort, and the unparalleled beauty of waterfront living, presenting a refined sanctuary that is as functional as it is breathtaking.
