SIESTA ISLES Waterfront Gem! Nestled in the back of the neighborhood, experience the best of Siesta Key living in this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom + den, 3-bath pool home with 135+ feet of frontage on The Grand Canal. Set on an oversized 15,269 sq ft /.35-acre lot, this residence offers the perfect blend of privacy, upgrades, and waterfront lifestyle. Situated well back from the street, the home opens with a welcoming foyer and expansive great room featuring vaulted ceilings, impact windows and impact sliding glass doors flooding the space with natural light while framing serene garden and waterway views. Two bedrooms feature en-suite baths and direct access to the backyard, while the primary suite’s bath connects conveniently to the pool area. Outdoors, enjoy a private tropical retreat: swim in the sparkling pool, rinse off in the outdoor shower, or launch kayaks and paddleboards from the floating dock. With space to add a full dock or lift, boaters will love the deep water access and only one fixed bridge to the Intracoastal Waterway. Practical updates bring peace of mind, including a durable metal roof, replaced seawall cap and maintained service contracts for irrigation, AC, pest control, and alarm systems. There is a shared irrigation well that sustains the mature landscaping. The home experienced no water intrusion during last year’s storms and is truly move-in ready. A winding walkway through lush landscaping leads to the waterfront patio, while an extended brick paver driveway offers ample guest parking. Just minutes from Siesta Key’s world-famous beaches and The Village’s varied dining and shopping options, this home is ideal as a full-time residence or lucrative rental investment. Don’t miss your chance to own a slice of paradise on the Grand Canal—schedule your private showing today!
