About this home
Island living begins here. Thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained, this exceptional 2,216-square-foot, three-bedroom-plus-studio, two-bathroom residence seamlessly blends modern comforts with timeless coastal appeal in the heart of Siesta Key. From the moment you step through the front door, you're welcomed by a captivating view of the sparkling heated screened pool, setting the tone for a home designed to embrace effortless indoor-outdoor living. A desirable split-bedroom floor plan offers privacy and functionality, while porcelain tile flooring and impact-resistant windows and sliding glass doors enhance both comfort and peace of mind. The beautifully appointed kitchen features Cambria quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, a gas cooktop, and a spacious island with additional storage, flowing seamlessly into the home's inviting living spaces. A charming shiplap-accented living room overlooks the tropical backyard, creating a warm and welcoming setting for everyday living and entertaining. Privately tucked away, the primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, French doors opening to the lanai, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with a classic cast-iron clawfoot soaking tub.

Adding to the home's versatility, a private studio with its own exterior entrance offers endless possibilities as a home office, creative studio, fitness room, guest suite, or additional sleeping quarters. Additional highlights include a tankless water heater, a high-efficiency HVAC system with infrared filtration, recessed LED lighting throughout, and exceptional attention to detail. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Siesta Key, this remarkable home offers convenient access to world-renowned Siesta Beach, Siesta Village, and downtown Sarasota.
