522 Ranger Ln., Longboat Key, FL 34228

Built by the legendary contractor and designer Ruth Richmond, this updated and renovated waterfront mid-century design home captures the up-to-the-moment trends buyers are looking for. Completely reimagined, the sleek, contemporary interior of the home was modernized for open concept living. There’s a new master bedroom en-suite and laundry room. In line with the original design, sliding glass doors are abundant and there is a double front door entry. Across the entire back of the home, sliding glass doors give every point of living a much-desired canal water view and overlooks the large 53-foot lap pool. The southern exposure enables natural lighting throughout the home. A new flat-tile roof, garage and lanai were added. A boat dock is there for the convenience of the boating enthusiast. Entertaining is easy with the large great room. The open kitchen includes two refrigerators, two ovens and two dishwashers for convenience and easy cleanup. Opening up the house to have the outside brought inside extenuates the Florida lifestyle this home was built to have. Living here is easy for any daily routine you may have, whether you fish, boat, golf, bike or just want a short stroll to the deeded access beach. All local attractions are at your fingertips. It’s just minutes to St. Armands Circle, downtown Sarasota and the arts and culture events of our area. As Mrs. Richmond said, “Live Better in the Best,” and this home is that and more.
