About this home

A timeless coastal estate with an air of refined European elegance, this gated waterfront residence on the protected deep waters of Cocoanut Bayou harmonizes classic architecture with thoughtful modern enhancements. Newly updated with wide-plank white oak engineered hardwood flooring and a gleaming white kitchen featuring new pearl quartz countertops and a Zellige tile backsplash, the home offers an elevated, move-in-ready experience for buyers seeking both luxury and serenity on Siesta Key. Step through custom arched double doors into a luminous grand foyer with 12-foot ceilings and beautifully crafted architectural details that introduce the home’s balance of scale, sophistication, and warmth. The soaring central living room, with its 24-foot ceilings, new hardwood floors, and expansive terrace, sets the tone for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. A sweeping 48-foot waterfront terrace extends the full width of the home, creating a captivating outdoor living space with room for dining, lounging, and enjoying breezy evenings by the stone fireplace. Inside, the newly refreshed gourmet kitchen shines with exceptional professional-grade appointments, including two Sub-Zero refrigerators, Wolf cooking equipment, two Miele dishwashers, Sub-Zero freezer drawers with ice maker, an oversized island, a casual dining area with French doors to the terrace, and an outdoor kitchen featuring a Wolf grill. The adjoining bar/butler’s pantry is well equipped with a 150-bottle, dual-temperature zoned Sub-Zero wine refrigerator and built-in Sub-Zero icemaker, along with additional glass-front cabinetry to display your treasured items. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a waterfront grand living room with five sets of French doors opening onto the terrace, for seamless indoor/outdoor living, and an elegant formal dining room for special occasions. On the opposite wing, you will find a handsome library/office, a home gym, and a large family room with serene water views and French doors to the terrace. A recently upgraded powder room and two large storage closets complete this level. The private second level, accessed by a sweeping staircase or the commercial-grade elevator, features four generous bedroom suites with walk-in closets, spa-inspired baths, and engineered hardwood flooring. The primary suite, a serene retreat, offers a gas fireplace, an expansive private terrace with bayou and bay views, the perfect spot to see incredible sunrises, and a luxurious marble bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, a large dual shower, and a built-in Sub-Zero mini-fridge. Spacious dual custom closets and a dressing area with a vanity complete the space. Boaters will appreciate the deep-water dock with direct access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Additional features include a second-floor laundry with a new Samsung washer and dryer, a 12-car garage, a whole-house sound system, impact-resistant windows and doors, concrete construction, state-of-the-art security, 4 HVAC units (one recently installed), and mature tropical landscaping that provides privacy and a true sense of retreat. A private community beach offers the rare opportunity to enjoy Siesta Key’s renowned white sands moments from home. Ideally located near Siesta Key Beach, Siesta Village, and vibrant downtown Sarasota, this exceptional estate combines architectural beauty, modern updates, and an enviable waterfront setting—offering a lifestyle entirely its own.
