Virtually Staged. A rare opportunity to own a single-family waterfront home with 100 feet of canal frontage and direct access to Sarasota Bay. Located in Country Club Shores on the desirable southern end of Longboat Key, 562 Ranger Lane offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and approximately 3,149 square feet of living space designed for relaxed coastal living. The property features a sunny southern rear exposure overlooking the canal, with a north-facing street frontage, providing balanced natural light throughout the day. The home underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2018, including a tile roof, paver driveway, two Trane A/C units, tankless water heater, updated sprinkler system, railings, pool equipment, and a Pebble Tec refinished pool positioned to maximize the southern exposure. The interior features an open great-room layout with 16-foot ceilings, porcelain tile flooring throughout, plantation shutters, LED lighting, and a spacious kitchen with Starmark solid-wood soft-close cabinetry, Cambria quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. An 8-foot arched iron front door introduces abundant natural light and an open, functional floor plan. The current configuration includes an upper-level primary suite with solid oak flooring, walk-in closets, and a well-appointed bath, while the first level offers three large bedrooms, including an office with custom built-ins, and two full baths with handcrafted cabinetry, quartz countertops, and glass-enclosed showers. The flexible layout provides the opportunity to create a first-floor primary suite to suit individual lifestyle needs. Boating amenities include a new seawall, a 70-foot private Trex dock with 50-amp shore power, and a recently serviced 10,000-pound boat lift. Outdoor living is enhanced by a covered lanai and a two-level travertine deck ideal for entertaining and enjoying the canal setting. Residents enjoy access to a private deeded beach on the Gulf of Mexico and proximity to Longboat Key Club golf, dining, and shopping at St. Armands Circle, with downtown Sarasota’s cultural arts and dining scene just minutes away.
