Property Description
Open bay sunsets, deep water access, and timeless coastal architecture define this exceptional Bird Key waterfront residence. Positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac along Sarasota Bay, this extensively updated bayfront home offers panoramic open water views, refined living spaces, and direct Gulf access with no fixed bridges. With approximately 100 feet of waterfront frontage and a new dock completed in 2023 accommodating up to a 60-foot vessel, the property is ideally suited for both motor yachts and sailboats while embracing Sarasota's boating lifestyle. Inside, the residence balances warmth and scale with expansive living spaces, detailed millwork, and a thoughtful floor plan designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. Beautiful renovations throughout have created a move-in ready environment, including a completely remodeled primary bedroom and bath, a full kitchen renovation in 2023 featuring Sub-Zero and Viking appliances, updated second-floor bathrooms, redesigned TV room with custom fireplace and cabinetry, and a temperature-controlled 140-bottle wine wall and bar installation. Walls of hurricane-rated Pella windows and sliding doors frame open bay views while allowing natural light to move throughout the interiors. Marble, wood, and carpeted flooring, custom cabinetry, wood-paneled accents, and integrated audio systems contribute to the home's tailored yet inviting atmosphere. Additional upgrades include a replaced seawall, resealed and painted roof, fresh exterior paint, replaced garage doors, sealed driveway, instantaneous hot water system, and updated air conditioning systems. Outdoor living is centered around sweeping sunset views, expansive waterfront terraces, and the privacy of a generously sized homesite within Bird Key. Residents enjoy immediate access to downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, Lido Beach, Bird Key Yacht Club, and the area's renowned dining, shopping, and cultural attractions while returning home to the quiet character of this residential island community. A beautifully maintained bayfront residence offering exceptional boating access, open water views, and a location that remains one of Sarasota's most desirable waterfront settings. Private showings available by appointment.
