## Description

### Agent Description
Renovated direct Gulf-front 2BR/2BA on Longboat Key. End-unit 8th-floor condo at The Arbomar, panoramic sunset views, pets allowed, hurricane-protected. For buyers seeking a move-in-ready beachfront residence on Longboat Key, this renovated direct Gulf-front end unit at The Arbomar delivers updated condition and views that don't quit. The 8th-floor 2-bedroom, 2-bath floor plan offers 1,175 square feet, with panoramic Gulf views from the balcony and partial bay views from the bedrooms. Inside, the renovated kitchen features wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless-steel appliances. Ceramic tile flooring extends through the main living areas, paired with crown molding, plantation shutters, and custom built-ins. Electric hurricane shutters provide added protection. Recent owner improvements include the renovated kitchen, updated bathrooms, a newer HVAC system, and a tankless water heater. At the building level, The Arbomar has invested in major upgrades including a new roof, hurricane-rated insulated windows, new entry and storm doors, and water-resistant Gemstone concrete coating on lanais and common breezeways. Amenities include a Gulf-front heated pool, fitness room, club room, community kitchen, kayak storage, and climate-controlled storage. The association is well-managed and well-funded, with quarterly HOA fees of $4,000. Rentals are permitted at one-month minimum, four times per year, after the required ownership holding period; pets are permitted for owners, rentals are pet-free. The residence conveys unfurnished, with one assigned carport space. On Gulf of Mexico Drive near island dining, golf, boating, shopping, St. Armands Circle, and downtown Sarasota.
