Property Description
Substantial price change, $750,000 less. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this exceptional bayfront residence is a haven for boaters and sunset enthusiasts alike. Set directly at end of a peninsula on the Intracoastal Waterway, the home enjoys sweeping open-water views and effortless access to the Gulf, while capturing breathtaking, mango-hued sunsets that paint the sky each evening. Designed to fully embrace its remarkable waterfront setting, the home offers gracious formal living and dining rooms alongside a warm and inviting family room with fireplace, seamlessly open to a chef's kitchen appointed with high-end appliances and generous workspace, ideal for entertaining against a backdrop of ever-changing bay views. Walls of glass invite the outdoors in, opening to a terrace-style balcony overlooking the water, where evenings unfold with glowing skies and gentle bay breezes. From the terrace-style balcony, the home transitions naturally down to a resort-style bayfront heated pool and spa, and expansive waterfront yard, creating a stunning setting for alfresco dining, relaxation and waterfront gatherings. Boaters will appreciate the private bayfront dock and lift, protected Intracoastal waters ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding, and daily encounters with dolphins and abundant marine life, all enjoyed right from the comfort of home. The primary bedroom suite encompasses the entire top floor, creating a private sanctuary above it all. Thoughtfully designed for tranquility and privacy, the suite features expansive bay views, a private balcony positioned for sunset watching and a spa-inspired bath designed for relaxation. This serene retreat offers an owner's haven, secluded, elevated, and immersed in the beauty of the surrounding water and sky. Offering four bedrooms, four full baths and three additional half baths, the residence provides exceptional comfort and flexibility for family and guests. A three-car garage and a one-year-old metal roof complete the home, balancing refined elegance with everyday functionality. Quietly tucked away in Sarasota's sought-after Coral Cove neighborhood, yet moments from world-famous Siesta Beach and Sarasota's cultural, dining, and coastal attractions, this exceptional estate delivers an extraordinary waterfront lifestyle, where boating, sunsets and refined living come together in harmony. Tranquil, elegant and undeniably special.
