3371 Bayou Sound, Longboat Key, FL 34228

A truly lovely home built by the sellers on a beautifully landscaped quarter-acre waterside setting on Crane's Bayou, this property welcomes you to the best of everything in Bay Isles. The curb appeal of its masonry-stucco exterior previews a 5-bedroom 4 1/2-bath 3925sf open floor plan. Enter into an atrium-like living and formal dining area that looks out over a large covered patio to the 14x30 heated swimming pool and beyond to Crane's Bayou. The water view is peaceful and private. Back inside, there's an open family room and dining area surrounding the accessible square kitchen. There are two completely separate bedroom areas. On one side, the downstairs master is ensuite, with stairs up to an office, extra bedroom and full bath. Stairs on the other side lead to a second master ensuite and two more bedrooms sharing a full bath. The laundry room abuts a two-car garage with additional crawl space on slab under the home for a boat trailer, kayaks and storing hurricane shutters. The 34ft dock and boat lift served the owner's 23ft craft and is a huge plus in this neighborhood. There is another outdoor patio for grilling or just chilling under the watchful eye of a laughing Buddha. This is a wonderful family-gathering home, which has been meticulously cared for by the owners. Come and see for yourself to reward your imagination...
