“This is prime property in one of the most exclusive and in-demand luxury markets of the Gulf Coast. You’re surrounded by the sound of the waves, the ocean views and the natural landscape that make this home a perfect and private retreat,” Kepecz-Hays said in the statement. 

The 4,980 square feet of living space features five bedrooms, a six-car garage and a flex room that can accommodate a game room or home gym. The property, adjacent to Longboat Island Chapel, is gated and offers 100 feet of beachfront. Designed in a Mediterranean style, mahogany touches are featured throughout, along with oak floors, custom windows and Spanish tiles. The three-level home delivers beach views from most of the living area.

But what’s most likely the most unusual part of the home is that there’s even a two-story library. 

The Judy Kepecz-Hays Team consists of Kepecz-Hays; her son, Steven Kepecz; and Lori Lawson. The team has more than 60 years of real estate experience, which is proven through its ranking as the region’s top-producing small team affiliated with Coldwell Banker Realty in Florida.
