Oceanfront Living – Where the Interior Reflects the Coastline
Clive Daniel Home, in collaboration with Seaward Homes, proudly unveils a newly completed luxury residence at 6489 Gulfside Road on Longboat Key. This extraordinary partnership brings together visionary architecture by DSDG, the refined craftsmanship of Seaward Homes’ Curated Collection, and elevated interior furnishings by Clive Daniel Home to create a residence that embodies sophisticated Gulf-front living.
Perched directly along a coveted 90-foot stretch of Gulf-front shoreline, the residence captures sweeping Gulf views, exceptional privacy, and effortless access to one of Longboat Key’s most breathtaking beaches.
The goal was to allow the furnishings to feel like a natural extension of the surrounding landscape. Every piece was intentionally selected to complement—not compete with—the panoramic Gulf views that immediately command attention upon entering the home.
The design, led by Keely Hill, drew inspiration directly from the environment itself.
“From the very beginning, the view inspired every design decision. I wanted the furnishings and pieces to feel soft, organic, and calming—almost as though they naturally belonged within the landscape itself. The goal was to enhance the beauty of the home without ever distracting from what makes it truly extraordinary: the connection to the water.” said Keely, Clive Daniel Home Designer.
The result is a home that feels serene, sophisticated, and deeply connected to its coastal setting.
The main residence spans more than 6,600 square feet of air-conditioned living space and features 11-foot ceilings, four oversized en-suite bedrooms, and a versatile grade-level multipurpose room tailored for wellness, fitness, or additional guest accommodations. The property’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle is emphasized through expansive walls of glass, wide-open floor plans, and two nearly 40-foot terraces designed to maximize Gulf views and natural light.
The design approach complements the architecture while enhancing the relaxed sophistication synonymous with Longboat Key living. The main living area embraces understated luxury through layered textures and sculptural furnishings. Plush upholstery in warm ivory tones reflects the sandy shoreline just beyond the glass, while the curved marble cocktail table introduces movement and artistry into the space.
Throughout the home, expansive glass walls dissolve the separation between the interiors and the beachfront beyond. The luxury furnishings were selected not only for beauty, but for their ability to enhance this fluid lifestyle—one centered around light, openness, and connection to nature.
Other Luxury features throughout the residence include:
- Custom floating steel-and-wood staircase
- Three-stop elevator
- 8-foot solid interior doors
- Premium Thermador appliance package
- AXOR and Hansgrohe plumbing fixtures
- Temperature-controlled wine storage
- Smart home technology and advanced security systems
- Resort-inspired outdoor entertaining areas with a luxury pool and spa
Built to exceed modern coastal construction standards, the exterior features include solid concrete and masonry construction on all floors, a deep concrete piling foundation for added strength, Longboard™ premium aluminum architectural details, and a fine light-sand exterior stucco finish, impact-rated glass— delivering both beauty and resilience.
Located just minutes from St. Armands Circle, and downtown Sarasota, the home offers convenient access to world-class dining, shopping, entertainment, and travel.
