Description from the owner
This property has it all!
It is a fabulous, fully air-conditioned, custom-built previous model home at Conrad Beach on the Northern tip of Longboat Key and it has been featured in Southern Living & Coastal Living magazines. It provides the highest standards of comfort and luxury and was completed in 2001 by an award-winning architectural team.
Conrad Beach is a beachside community consisting of just 21 homes located between historic Longbeach Village and a Gulfside sugar-sand beach, known for its dolphin sightings, turtle-watches and glorious sunsets! A 120 acre coastal nature preserve is just north of the property, as are exccel...lent fishing opportunities - and outstanding marina facilities are to the south and on nearby Anna Maria Island. Many fine restaurants are within easy reach -two within walking distance - as are a variety of local stores. Within a few minutes' drive are golfing, tennis and many other sporting facilities, wildlife parks and also Sarasota's popular St. Armand's Circle.
The property comprises over 5,000 square feet of space, comfortably accommodating up to eight persons on three levels.
A private driveway leads to the front of the house, secured with a monitored alarm system, and from the pleasant porch at the ground floor entrance level there is a fine wooden staircase leading up to the main living area.
On one side is the fully-carpeted lounge with two comfortable leather sofas, a fireplace and occasional tables. For your enjoyment there is cable TV (300+ channels including several premium movie & sports channels), a DVD, VCR and a CD player/music system that supplies sound to each room as well as to the outside leisure areas. Sliding glass doors open up to the South-facing balcony on which there are two rocking chairs.
On the other side is the formal dining room with a table and chairs for six. In this spacious area is also a large convertible sofa-bed, providing comfortable sleeping for two persons. Adjacent is a delightful wet-bar.
Glass sliding doors open onto the South-facing balcony, again with two rocking chairs.
Next is the study, in which is a computer with high-speed internet access, a wireless router for use with your own laptop, a telephone on which free local, long-distance and international calls can be made, a fax machine, copier and printer.
The hallway leads on to the luxury, designer kitchen with built-in top-quality stainless steel appliances (including a refrigerator, freezer, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee percolator etc) and island stove, granite counter-tops and an eat-in dining area with window seating and an outdoor view of the palm-tree filled courtyard below. The kitchen also has its own TV and telephone.
Next is the laundry room with full-size washer, dryer, iron & ironing board.
Next to the laundry room is a half-bathroom with pedestal sink and wc.
Further on is the very spacious master bedroom with its beautiful four-poster king-size bed, a chaise-longue, oak furnishings, flat-screen cable TV, a DVD, telephone and views on one side overlooking the courtyard and to the other the community pool and tropical gardens. A door leads onto a balcony offering pleasant views of the pool. The gorgeous master bathroom has a Jacuzzi bath-tub, a separate and spacious granite shower, his and her vanity units, separate WC with bidet, full-length mirrors, a hair-dryer and has windows overlooking the pool. There is a large two-sectioned walk-in designer closet offering plenty of hanging space.
The staircase from the hallway leads up to two private guest suites, each with a full bathroom, custom-made double beds, flat-screen TVs (each with DVD), quality window treatments and beautiful views of the community pool and tropical landscaping.
A further staircase leads up to the spacious roof terrace with magnificent panoramic Gulf and Bay views - a most wonderful place to view some magnificent sunsets.
Below and between the main living areas of the house is a secluded, tropical courtyard with an outside dining table and seating for 6-8 persons. There are also two sun-loungers and adjacent is the property's private covered games area in which is a billiard/snooker table and a table-tennis table. It is then just a few paces to the (almost private!) pool (heated in Winter), use of which is available to the residents of Conrad Beach and their guests.
Throughout the house are luxury linens, custom-made down duvet covers, modern art, highest quality furnishings, digital cable-TV in every bedroom, with 300+ channels including premium channels (pay-per-view available), a sound system (with individual controls in every room of the house and also on the roof terrace, in the courtyard and the games area)!
The flooring is a mixture of hardwood, artistic tiling or quality carpeting.
The home has plenty of parking, storage space and a garage. All linen and towels are provided, as are hair dryers, an iron & an ironing board.Read more

Although the structure of the house was as promised, there were multiple upkeep problems.
These included:
The roach problem ( we sprayed but you need a full extermination).
The computer was nonfunctional as there was no mouse, and the system was so old that it would only take a round plug for a new mouse.
The upstairs shower would not drain (We fixed it).
Most of the lamps are not working. Although we bought new bulbs, only a few lamps were actually functioning.
The dishwasher worked, but the door dropped open almost to the floor.
The oven light is not working and the temperature controls are way off.
The filtered water in the refrigerator was not working.
The upstairs bedrooms TV’s had no cable so they were not working.
The shower walls and curtains were covered in mold and mildew.
The toilets were dirty when we arrived.
The kitchen sink faucet is broken.
There were other upkeep problems with many things.
