5005 GULF OF MEXICO DRIVE #4

Designed by award-winning architect, John Cooney, and built by Sarasota’s premier coastal homebuilder, Perrone Construction, this mid-Key classic is simply among Longboat Key’s finest homes. Walk in to this fully furnished home which is steps from the beach and with expansive Gulf and Bay views, this masterpiece offers more than 4300 square feet of refined interiors on the main living floors together with multiple large lanais and balconies. A beautiful foyer, large family room, and home gym are featured on the ground floor, along with an oversized three-car garage and storage room. The quality of the home’s design and construction are matched by the charm of the interior finishes and amenities. The living areas incorporate beautiful ceiling elevations, along with custom wide-plank hardwood, Italian porcelain tile, and custom plantation shutters and drapes. The Great Room flows into the chef’s kitchen which features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, Wolf and SubZero appliances, and a temperature-controlled 275 bottle wine room. Designed for easy entertaining, the Great Room opens onto a large lanai with its gas fireplace and grill, and gorgeous Gulf and sunset views. Adjoining the kitchen is a perfect dining room with its own balcony and Gulf views, as well as a large family office/bonus room with custom cabinetry and bookshelves. The Lutron system controls both the lighting and the custom drapes and shades. The home’s elegant chandeliers and sconces bathe its interior with gracious warmth. The beautiful master suite on the main floor includes a bedroom cathedral ceiling and access to the outdoor lanai. The master bath features custom cabinetry, porcelain tile, a large steam shower, and is plumbed for a master bathtub. Three spacious guest suites, a gathering lounge, and balconies with Gulf views are found on the second living floor. A private elevator connects all levels. Both the home and exterior grounds are designed for year-round, low-maintenance living. An extensive landscape refresh in 2023 included new turf and lighting, an outdoor shower, and a great fire pit area for entertaining. Lush landscaping and a tranquil pool setting provide both screening and privacy. The home features remote controlled screening and storm shutters, extensive use of Azek composite, and other low-maintenance materials, along with a gas generator, whole-house water filtration system, central vacuum, and much more. With miles of pristine beach and bay to explore and with the abundant cultural, dining, and shopping amenities of Sarasota, St. Armand’s Circle, and Anna Maria Island nearby, this timeless home delivers the very best of Longboat Key living.
