681 CASEY KEY ROAD – ID A4630341

Salty kisses. Lots of them. That’s what this enchanting Casey Key full gulf-front beach house is all about. Forever in love with sunny-sky winters, soul-stirring sunsets and a magical seaside setting. You’ll also love to know the home had no water intrusion from the October hurricanes, according to the owner, is fitted with impact-glass windows and sliding glass doors and is being sold turnkey furnished. This cheerful residence beams with natural light thanks to the double-height ceiling and giant windows that let in Florida’s year-round sunshine. At the heart of the 3,310-square-foot home is the great room/kitchen/dining area, a big, giant space where everyone can gather to cook, eat, lounge and play games. Wall-to-wall sliders open to a bridge over the pool leading to the elevated pool deck, then down to the “Salty Kisses” gazebo along the 52-foot-wide sandy walk to the beach. When you’re ready for indoor me time, the primary suite on the top floor spans the entire gulf-front side of the home and features wall-to-wall sliders with a commanding view of the sea. Additional bedrooms include two guest suites on the main floor, a fourth bedroom on the third floor plus a bonus room being used as a bunk room. The third floor also houses a home office and an artist’s studio. Two hand-carved Moroccan doors, hand-painted in cobalt blue by a local artist, add a touch of exotic delight to this coastal paradise. An elevator provides easy access to all levels. The home is being sold fully furnished. On the south end of Casey Key, this beach retreat is just 0.7 miles to the south bridge, 2.3 miles to Nokomis Village Shopping and 3.6 miles to historic downtown Venice. Life is good on the beach!
