About This Home
As of January 2021Beautifully upgraded, well appointed & meticulously upkept Cedars Townhome!. This beautiful home is located in a prime position, in the Front section of Cedars East Tennis Resort, allowing easy access to Longboat Key's island Long bike path and the closest proximity to our pristine sugary white sands of the Gulf of Mexico.

So many pristine upgrades & improvements added to this home. Beautiful newer luxury flooring flowing throughout, beautiful newer furnishings and the Upgraded Kitchen and Baths. The large open space and high ceiling is a major attraction for these townhomes. Plus easy access to the half bath right off the kitchen. The kitchen boasts new cabinet doors with hardware, Crisp quartz countertops, Stainless Steel appliances and truly well chosen marble tile backsplash. The kitchen opens right up to the dining & family room finally leading to the covered and screen lanai overlooking that natural Florida landscape. The upstairs master bedroom and bath is a beautiful oasis. Oversize bedroom with an upgraded and remodeled master bath including new open layout allowing a true dual vanity and jacuzzi tub and shower. THis rare layout gives you a true bath Room to enjoy. Beautiful tile floors and granite countertop vanities really top off this space. The guest bedroom is an excellent space with beautiful western exposure. In the hallway you will find a laundry closet close to both bedrooms & baths, with an upgraded washer and dryer. Across the hall from the laundry room you will find the guest bathroom completely redone with new tile, vanity and glass shower doors.
