Combining stylish residential living with the allure of a world-renowned beach destination five minutes away, this beautiful Siesta Key property is perfect for families and retirees alike. A captivating “great room” with its soaring ceiling beckons you in, as does the view of the canal seen through the 24' wall of French doors. Serene and airy , the house is a welcoming blend of breezy sophistication and thoughtful functionality—note the ceramic tile flooring (mimicking the look of whitewashed pine), recessed lighting, and plantation shutters throughout. Custom-built from the ground up in 2016, the concrete and hardy board house features three bedrooms, three full baths, a separate study with built-in cabinetry, a laundry/utility room , an outsized walk-in pantry, a walk-up attic above the 800sf garage, a lanai specifically designed as a second living/entertainment area, a completely screened in, heated saltwater pool, and a dock (with an electrical hookup for a future boat lift, if desired). In addition to home security, all windows and doors (including the garage) are hurricane proof. A protective $55k seawall was added three years ago. The fully landscaped yard includes an irrigation system, and the 2.5 car
garage keeps all your wheels tucked safely away. The sundrenched 24' x 22' great room is the literal hub of the house. On one side, you'll find the primary bedroom suite with its two spacious walk-in closets and bath, while the two guest bedrooms and Jack and Jill bath on the
opposite end afford privacy to all. It is easy to imagine several people preparing meals side-by-side in the well-planned and well-appointed kitchen or engaging in conversation from the breakfast bar. With its abundance of wood cupboards, high-end Thermador appliances,
polished granite countertops, and stainless-steel farmer's sink, even a professional chef would feel at home. Opening the doors to the adjacent lanai and pool deck gives you the ultimate experience of inside/outside living, and you can gracefully accommodate and entertain large gatherings of family and friends. Two fireplaces for chilly nights, a wet bar, and deck space ample enough to allow for multiple lounge chairs and a barbecue station, make this an inviting year-round home. Best of all, with its close proximity to Siesta Key Beach, famous for its powder like sand and magnificent sunsets, casual dining and shops in the vibrant Siesta Key Village, and the cultural and culinary offerings of downtown Sarasota, you can delight in the knowledge that you live where others vacation. A dream scenario.
