Overview

Experience spectacular sunsets over Little Sarasota Bay from this extraordinary Bird Key waterfront residence, where coveted western exposure and 100 feet of deepwater shoreline create an incomparable setting for luxury coastal living. Set on an expansive 15,000-square-foot homesite, this beautifully reimagined two-story, five-bedroom, six-bath residence captures breathtaking open-bay views and offers exceptional boating access directly from your backyard.

An extensive, top-to-bottom renovation has transformed the residence into an elegant coastal retreat designed for effortless living. A dramatic grand foyer with soaring vaulted ceilings sets the tone for the refined interiors, enhanced by high-end designer lighting, automated blinds, custom interior doors, and beautifully curated finishes throughout.

The expansive main living area features vaulted ceilings with exposed decorative beams, a built-in bar, and natural gas fireplace. Wall-to-wall hurricane-rated sliding glass doors frame sweeping views across Little Sarasota Bay while filling the home with natural light. Automatic hurricane shutters provide additional storm protection, while elegant engineered hardwood flooring and custom tile flow throughout the residence.

The completely renovated kitchen and breakfast area are equally suited to everyday living and entertaining, featuring custom cabinetry, striking quartzite surfaces, an expansive center island, and premium appliances.

The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers two luxurious primary suites. The first-floor suite provides direct terrace access, while the second-floor retreat opens to a private balcony overlooking the bay. Both primary baths have been reimagined as spa-inspired sanctuaries with custom cabinetry, soaking tubs, dual vanities, and spacious walk-in showers. Every bathroom has been beautifully remodeled with quartzite surfaces, while custom-designed walk-in closets and organizational systems provide exceptional storage throughout.

Outside, the residence unfolds into a private waterfront resort. An expansive terrace surrounds the saltwater lap pool and elevated spa, creating an exceptional setting for entertaining, relaxing, and watching magnificent sunsets over the bay. White porcelain pavers, refreshed waterline tile, upgraded exterior stonework, and a newly improved seawall complete the waterfront setting.

Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the composite deepwater dock with approximately 12 feet of water depth, dock lighting, custom swim ladder, 14,000-pound boat lift, and two Jet Ski lifts. Boating, fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and sunset cruises are all just steps from your door.

Bird Key is one of Sarasota’s most prestigious island communities, ideally positioned between Downtown Sarasota and Lido Key. Enjoy effortless access to Sarasota Yacht Club, St. Armands Circle, Lido Beach, and downtown Sarasota’s exceptional dining, shopping, arts, and culture. Adding to the appeal is the highly anticipated new Bird Key Yacht Club, envisioned as an exceptional waterfront destination for dining, recreation, and social experiences.

This is a rare opportunity to experience the very best of Sarasota waterfront living, where mornings begin on the bay, afternoons are spent on the water, and spectacular sunsets provide the perfect ending to each day.
