Beachfront estate with unique feature sells for $10.4 million

LONGBOAT KEY — A beachfront estate in Longboat Key — with a feature that will have all “Beauty and the Beast” fans swooning —  recently sold for $10.4 million.   

The Mediterranean-style residence is located at 6211 Gulf of Mexico Drive and was represented by Judy Kepecz-Hays of The Judy Kepecz-Hays Team. The Longboat Key-based team of global luxury specialists is the top-producing affiliated team with Coldwell Banker Realty in Florida, according to a statement. 

“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 says in a 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. But what’s most likely the most unique part of the home is that there’s even a two-story library for a voracious reader like Belle from Beauty and the Beast to read to her heart's content. 

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.
