Enjoy breathtaking water views in a private, natural setting protected by mangroves, mature landscaping, and specimen plantings. The property sustained no flood damage during the 2024 storm season. Built in 2001 and fully transformed in 2016, the home features exceptional craftsmanship, handsome millwork, and thoughtful custom updates throughout.

The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s masterpiece, boasting quartz countertops, two islands, a pot filler, a large walk-in pantry, and premium appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and gas range with custom hood, Samsung Duo-zone oven, microwave, and under-counter wine/beverage cooler. It also features solid wood custom cabinetry and a beautiful farmhouse double sink. A generous laundry room offers LG front-loading washer and dryer, solid wood cabinetry, a custom drying rack, and a built-in ironing board. The upstairs primary suite is a true retreat, complete with its own entry gallery and a private sitting room featuring a cathedral ceiling. Step out onto the large private balcony overlooking the pool, lush gardens, and sailboats on Sarasota Bay. The luxurious primary bath includes a large shower, double vanity, a separate built-in dressing table, and a spacious 13’ x 16’ his-and-her's walk-in closet with custom organization and display features. The versatile fourth bedroom functions as a garage apartment, offering a main-floor living room and kitchenette, plus a large second-floor bedroom and bath with its own private balcony—perfect for guests, a caregiver, or extended family. Outside, resort-style living awaits on the expansive covered patio overlooking a 45’ x 15’ private pool, beautiful landscaping, and panoramic Sarasota Bay views. Additional highlights include a full irrigation system with well, a 2018 standing seam metal roof, tankless water heater, updated HVAC systems, and a well-positioned outdoor kitchen with a Blaze grill.
