Paradise found in this nearly 1/2-acre direct Gulf-front gem. Located on a private sandy beach along the shores of Casey Key and lovingly cared for by 2 generations, this home is in immaculate condition. Completely rebuilt in 1999, the high ceiling, split floor plan, quality materials and thoughtful finishes will not disappoint. On the first floor: master bedroom & bath, living, dining room, kitchen, 2nd full bath and laundry, plus an office/4th bedroom. On the second floor: a 3rd full bath and 2 more bedrooms, each open to a large terrace overlooking the beach. Ample storage, newer impact windows, whole house generator, concrete block construction, shoreline rock revetment and Florida native landscape make this home practically maintenance-free. Close to the historic Blackburn Point swing bridge, easy on and off the key access, yet privacy and endless views bring one back to a bygone era. Reserved for single-family homes, there are no high-rises on Casey Key and commercial development was frozen in time. Conveniently located between Venice and Sarasota, restaurants, shopping, airports, marinas and the best of everything the region has to offer.
