About this home
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Experience private beachfront coastal luxury at this one-of-one Siesta Key home, thoughtfully curated for comfort, style, and entertainment - by Pham Development. Perfectly positioned off the Gulf, with gorgeous ocean views throughout the rooms - you can watch a world-class sunset view from your master bedroom. Spanning over 6,468 square feet under air and 9,080 total square feet, this exquisite residence captures the essence of resort-style waterfront living on more than half an acre of pristine Gulf-front land. Be at ease with a surrounding elevated riprap shoreline and the imported rocks, offering both protection and privacy. Pull into the property through the gated entry, with a paved driveway for ample parking. The ground level offers a 3-car garage, spacious private fitness studio with AC, large flex space/storage room, and huge game room that leads out to the truly special backyard - with premium turf, silica sand and a putting area. Host a sunset dinner with the full outdoor kitchen, including a freezer, wet bar, beverage center, ice machine, and 6-burner grill. Have a drink while sitting in the pool facing the ocean, relax in the champagne spa hot tub, or tan on the sun shelf. Put your toes in the sand area of the backyard, or take the paver steps down to the private beach and swim in the ocean - the ultimate paradise. Wake up to the panoramic views of the Gulf of America and Sarasota Bay, that create a daily masterpiece of color and light, and have a coffee on the master bedroom's private balcony. With 6 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths, you can host more family and guests - along with the second living room/media room. All of the bedrooms have custom built-in closets, and the spacious ocean-view master bathroom leads to two spacious walk-in closets. The home features high-ceilings, beautiful hardwood flooring throughout, and cypress beams. The living and dining room area have a fireplace, and the open-floor plan leads out to another large balcony overlooking the ocean. Enjoy the gourmet custom kitchen with Thermador gas appliances, a walk-in pantry, and an extra large quartz island with seating. An elevator connects the 3-level home through the grand living spaces that flow seamlessly toward the water, blending indoor sophistication with the beauty of the coast. The lush tropical landscaping evokes the serenity of a private resort. Located just minutes from Siesta Beach, the Village, and the North Siesta Bridge, this rare coastal jewel offers the ultimate combination of elegance, exclusivity, and Gulf-front tranquility—a move-in ready residence truly without equal on Siesta Key.
Local Insight
At $15.5M for a 1983 build on 0.55 acres, you're paying premium waterfront prices in the Siesta subdivision, but the per-square-foot rate ($2,396) suggests this is more about the water access and location than recent renovations—worth having your inspector scrutinize the foundation and systems on a 40-year-old structure. The AE flood zone designation is significant and will directly impact insurance costs and future resale, so get those flood projections and insurance quotes before committing. This is a teardown-or-renovate-heavy property in a desirable area, so your value really hinges on whether you're buying the land and water views or expecting to live in the existing structure as-is.
