Exceptional Opportunity on Siesta Key. Now offered at a newly adjusted price, this charming Siesta Key retreat presents an outstanding opportunity to own just minutes from world-famous Siesta Beach--consistently ranked among the best beaches in the U.S. With powdery white sands, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and unforgettable Gulf sunsets close by, this home captures the essence of relaxed island living.
Located in the desirable, deed-restricted community of Siesta Isles, this three-bedroom, two-bath residence is set on a lushly landscaped, nearly 15,000-square-foot lot adorned with more than 40 mature palm trees, bromeliads, and a rare, show-stopping staghorn fern. The expansive property offers exceptional outdoor privacy, ample room for entertaining or recreation, and space to add a pool.
Inside, the open-concept floor plan features generously sized rooms filled with natural light. A wraparound wall of windows in the living and breakfast areas frames serene views of the tropical backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The renovated kitchen is thoughtfully designed with white quartz countertops, glass tile backsplash, and newer appliances, while a separate dining room provides comfortable space for gatherings.
The primary suite includes an en-suite bath and a tranquil retreat feel. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility, including a third bedroom with contemporary barn doors--ideal for a home office, den, or guest space. The home remained high and dry with no water intrusion during the storms; an inspection certification is available.
Additional highlights include a private, low-maintenance, six-foot fenced backyard, an oversized circular paver driveway with generous parking, and a two-car garage for storage and convenience. The home may be purchased turnkey furnished (with a few exclusions), making it well-suited as a beach getaway, seasonal residence, or income-producing property.
Recent improvements totaling over $100,000 add peace of mind and value, including a metal roof (2022), HVAC system (2023), paver driveway (2022), six-foot PVC fencing (2020), and re-piped sewer and water lines.
Just one mile from Siesta Village's boutiques, dining, and live music--and a short drive to downtown Sarasota's cultural attractions, farmers markets, and waterfront destinations--this property also offers long-term potential as a future residential building site due to its prime island location.
With a voluntary HOA of only $250 annually and a newly improved price, this is a compelling opportunity to secure your place on Siesta Key. Schedule your private showing today and experience the island lifestyle you've been waiting for.
