Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own your very own slice of paradise along the crystal blue waters of world-famous Siesta Key. Located in an ideal location on the preferred north end of the island, and boasting stunning panoramic views of Downtown Sarasota, Bird Key, Lido Key, the John Ringling Causeway, and Big Pass, this property encompasses over 161’ waterfront feet on 2 sides (98’+ on the bay and 63’+ on the protected water of Bayou Louise) and offers one of the area’s most coveted lifestyles. For the avid boater, there is a brand new fully equipped dock with 16,000lb lift and seating to take in the amazing views and daily sunsets. In addition, there is a boathouse with a dock on Bayou Louise. Relax after a day on the water in the resort-style backyard featuring a private beach, a pool with a rock waterfall, covered and uncovered seating areas, and a putting green. Complementing the exterior, the interior exudes a laid-back island vibe and boasts a large living and dining room featuring original Terrazzo floors, a wood-burning fireplace, a built-in bar, and a wall of windows on either side of the home that let the natural light shine through providing incredible water views. The kitchen remains true to the style of the home yet updated for today’s needs and features abundant natural light, functional cabinet space, stainless steel appliances, a large butler’s pantry, and a corner banquette. The master suite is located on the second floor with a private terrace overlooking the water while the three ensuite bedrooms on the main living level offer plenty of privacy for family and guests. Enjoy it just the way it is right now while you design your new dream waterfront home. The current owners have had a plan created by award-winning architect Mark Sultana of DSDG Architects.
