Seller has requested highest and best bid by 3 p.m. Wed. 8/11/21. Welcome to the Storknest! One of the few unique custom-built homes on Manasota Key. Originally built in 1949 this beautiful home was completely rebuilt and remodeled in 1988 and has been thoroughly enjoyed and thoughtfully maintained by caring owners. The wood beamed ceilings in the original structure have been enhanced with cathedral ceilings in the new portion keeping continuity throughout. The great room on the main floor offers gracious entertainment space combining a living room, dining room and wet bar, which in turn flows into a family room and kitchen on the original level. A chairlift on the staircase offers easy accessibility to the upstairs master king-size suite with bath and two walk-in closets, which opens onto a large, tiled balcony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Also upstairs is an executive-style office complete with built-in shelving and an unobstructed view of the Gulf. Downstairs, 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, spacious kitchen and afore-mentioned family room lead to a sizable outdoor patio. A short walkway takes you to a waterfront deck with steps down to your private beachfront. After a day on the beach, take a dip in the pool or relax in the spa. A detached, oversized garage, separate workshop, outdoor showers and an acre of tropical growth provide tranquil privacy. While only minutes away from fine and casual dining, beach bars with entertainment, and a short hop to the mainland for all of your shopping needs, this home will fulfill your every desire. Something old, something new, something for...everyone. Come see all this for yourself and enjoy the comfort and class of a Manasota Key treasure!
