Overview

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on Siesta Key, this well-kept four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom pool home offers an easygoing waterfront lifestyle with access to the Gulf of Mexico. Set on a corner canal lot with water on two sides and 286 feet of frontage, the property feels private and peaceful, surrounded by the calm beauty of the water. With 2,927 square feet of living space, the home has been carefully maintained by only two owners and has NEVER experienced flooding. Inside, wide windows frame the shimmering canal views, filling the living spaces with soft, natural light. The layout is open and welcoming, offering plenty of room to gather or spread out and enjoy quiet days at home. At the heart of the home, the kitchen connects easily to the dining and living areas and opens to the screened lanai and pool deck. Outside, an outdoor kitchen and a large 9-foot deep pool invites long afternoons in the sun, with water views in every direction. Just off the pool, a private spa room and bathroom offer a quiet retreat after a day on the boat or beach. The master bedroom is tucked away for privacy, featuring a spacious bathroom with double vanities, a step-up soaking tub, and two separate closets. The guest bedrooms are thoughtfully placed, offering comfort and easy access to well-appointed bathrooms. The home's setting along two sides of the water creates a feeling of openness. Whether you’re heading out for a day on the water, casting a line from your backyard, or simply watching the boats go by, this property brings the natural beauty of Siesta Key right to your doorstep. Just minutes from the world-renowned white sands of Siesta Beach and a short distance to the shops, cafes, and restaurants of Siesta Village, the location offers the perfect balance of island living and everyday convenience. Downtown Sarasota, with its farmers' markets, theaters, and waterfront dining, is just over the bridge when you feel like exploring beyond the island. This is a home for someone who wants the rare combination of space, privacy, and water access, all set in one of Florida’s most beloved coastal communities. Come see what life could be like at the water’s edge.
