Property Description
New price! Beautifully private, this exceptional Siesta Key residence delivers the lifestyle discerning island buyers seek. Ideally near the aqua Gulf waters and powdery white sands of Crescent Beach, and moments from the peaceful shoreline of Turtle Beach, this remarkable coastal retreat spans approximately 230 feet of protected boating water and is tucked at the end of a quiet, tree-lined street, offering rare privacy and a sense of peaceful seclusion seldom found on the island. This two-story home offers flexible living with three to four bedrooms, six and a half baths, an office or den, and thoughtfully designed indoor-outdoor areas that define relaxed island luxury. A gracious arrival sets the tone as antique wood-and-glass double-entry doors open to a light-filled foyer and formal living room, anchored by a custom electric fireplace and framed by soaring windows. Natural light pours in, highlighting architectural details and creating an immediate sense of warmth and understated sophistication. The heart of the home is a magnificent kitchen designed for entertaining and everyday living, featuring a generous central island that flows seamlessly into the inviting family room with a wood-burning fireplace. Walls of glass throughout dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, creating a seamless connection to the lush, private surroundings. The main level includes a private guest en-suite with direct lanai access, along with a unique screened atrium, an inviting space for alfresco dining, sunning, or quiet relaxation. An adjacent flex room easily serves as an office, studio, or additional guest suite, offering versatility for today’s evolving lifestyles. Upstairs, a graceful, curved staircase leads to another en-suite bedroom, a full bath adjacent to the office or flex space, and an owner’s retreat. The primary suite is a sanctuary, complete with separate spa-inspired baths, expansive walk-in closets, and a private sunset terrace overlooking the pool and tranquil canal waters, an ideal setting to unwind at the end of the day. Outdoors, the property transforms into a private waterfront oasis. The lushly landscaped pool area features cascading fountains, while boating enthusiasts will appreciate 230 feet of seawall, a private dock, a 7,000-pound boatlift, a kayak lift, and a separate fishing pier, all on deep, protected water with quick access to Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway. Notably, the property experienced no damage or flooding during the 2024 storms, according to the owners, offering valuable peace of mind alongside its exceptional setting. Enjoy effortless access to the beach, nearby restaurants and shops, and free island trolley. When you’re ready to venture beyond the island, downtown Sarasota is just minutes away over the south bridge, offering world-class dining, arts and culture, including The Ringling, Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, St. Armands Circle, and the vibrant Sarasota Farmers Market. This is a rare opportunity to own a storm-resilient waterfront retreat that seamlessly blends privacy, boating access, accessibility, and timeless coastal elegance, the best of Siesta Key living.
