Most people think they're buying a beach property. What they're really buying is the ability to walk away from stress. Welcome to Live Oak Landings on Manasota Key, where life begins to slow down the moment you cross the bridge. Perfectly positioned between the sparkling waters of Lemon Bay and the sugar sand beaches of the Gulf, this updated 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom townhome with a versatile loft offers Gulf to bay views and the coastal lifestyle buyers dream about but rarely find at this price point, steps from the beach. Inside, approximately 1,357 square feet of thoughtfully designed, updated living space creates an atmosphere that feels both comfortable and inviting. The open living and dining areas flow naturally together, while the spacious loft adds flexibility that today's buyers value. Currently equipped with a Murphy bed and office space, it can easily serve as a guest retreat, home office, hobby room, media space, or additional sleeping area when friends and family come to visit. Natural light fills the home, creating a bright coastal feel that complements the relaxed island setting. Step outside to your private screened balcony, where Gulf to bay views stretch before you and tropical breezes invite you to slow down and enjoy the moment. What truly separates this property is its location. Live Oak Landings sits directly on Lemon Bay with a heated community pool and easy access to the water, while Englewood Beach is just steps from the beach, right across the street. Picture yourself starting your morning with a walk along the shoreline, spending afternoons by the pool, enjoying waterfront dining nearby, and ending the day with spectacular Gulf Coast sunsets just steps from your front door. Whether you're searching for a full time residence, seasonal getaway, or an investment opportunity, this property offers remarkable flexibility. The home has also been successfully positioned for both seasonal and annual rental demand, creating additional possibilities for future ownership. Offered turnkey furnished, this updated home is ready for immediate enjoyment or rental income. Properties on Manasota Key continue to attract buyers seeking an authentic Florida lifestyle without the congestion found in larger beach markets. Opportunities to own an updated bayfront townhome with Gulf to bay views, beach access just steps away, a flexible floor plan, community amenities, and turnkey convenience are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
