Key West–style Southern coastal charm defines this exceptional tri-level residence in a private, gated enclave of just 20 homes. A welcoming, wrap-around veranda sets the tone for effortless entertaining—or serene relaxation—complete with partial views of Sarasota Bay directly across the street.
Step inside to discover an entertainer’s dream: A flowing floor plan with formal dining room, family room, living room and wet bar, plus a generously appointed kitchen and informal eating area with large windows overlooking the towering oak lined street and on towards the bay. Unique architectural details abound, with Palladian windows to brick flooring in both living and family rooms, while a gorgeous wood burning fireplace is the focal point of the living room. A first-floor laundry/butler’s pantry adds everyday convenience.
Designed to balance privacy and togetherness, the tri-level layout places secondary bedrooms on their own floor, both sharing a full bathroom as well as a versatile bonus room ideal for a home office, study or TV lounge. The entire top floor is devoted to the owner’s suite, featuring a spacious bedroom, dual-vanity bath with walk-in shower, separate sitting area, and an oversized walk-in closet/dressing room with its own private balcony—perfect for checking the weather before you dress for the day!
Outside, nearly half an acre of lush grounds invites imagination: an inground pool, wide-open lawn spaces, and across the street, your assigned community boat slip at the shared dock along with the community’s sunset pier. Spend your days exploring Midnight Pass or cruising the intracoastal—no fixed bridges stand between you and the open Gulf—or simply enjoy nightly sunsets over Siesta Key from Fishermen’s Bay Pier.
Immaculately maintained, this move-in-ready home boasts an 8-year-young septic system, full PEX repiping, all-new back-lawn sod, newer A/C units, public water plus a dedicated irrigation well, and is just minutes from shopping, dining, and Siesta Key’s legendary quartz-sand beaches. Live the coastal lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of—right here in Sarasota!
