The heart of the home is the stunning chef's kitchen, featuring quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, and a spacious island with seating—perfect for gathering with family and friends. The open-concept layout flows effortlessly from the kitchen to the living and dining areas, creating an inviting space for entertaining. Step outside to your private resort-style backyard oasis.

Surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, the backyard offers exceptional privacy and a true Florida resort experience. The private dock sits on a wide canal and is ideal for fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking, or docking a rental boat. After a day on the water or at nearby Lido Beach, stroll to St. Armands Circle for world-class dining, shopping, and entertainment before returning home to unwind beneath the stars. The home includes Smart TVs, board games, bicycles, beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, a cooler, and a beach wagon to make your walk to the beach effortless. Families traveling with little ones will appreciate the included pack-and-play and high chair. This property can be rented as a 4-bedroom, 4-bath retreat sleeping up to 8 guests, including the private guest house with its own full kitchen, living room, and washer/dryer. The main house has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. When rented with guest house (an extra charge), it becomes a 4 bedroom and 4 bath rental. City of Sarasota Certificate VR22-00088
Local Insight
At $11 per square foot, this 1951 waterfront property is priced well below market for Sarasota's desirable Lido Beach area, which typically commands $150–200+ per sqft—a major red flag worth investigating thoroughly before assuming you've found a deal. The age of the home, combined with waterfront exposure to salt air and storm surge risk, likely means significant deferred maintenance or foundation/structural issues that would explain the pricing; get a thorough inspection and engineer's report before proceeding. The private pool and water access are genuine assets, but they only add value if the underlying structure is sound—focus your due diligence there rather than the amenities.
