* Please note, property is pending but cannot be marked pending in MLS until MLS admin are available on Monday, 1/19/26. Completed in 2024, this custom one-story canal-front residence in the sought-after Sara Sands neighborhood offers a seamless blend of modern coastal design and effortless island living. Ideally located just minutes from Siesta Key Village, you're close to boutique shopping, top restaurants, coffee shops, popular wine bar, and lively evening entertainment-while enjoying excellent boating water with quick 10-15 minute access to the Intracoastal Waterway. The home welcomes you with striking curb appeal, featuring a wide paver driveway, lush tropical landscaping, and a covered entry leading to an impressive wood front door. Inside, the open, airy floor plan is designed to maximize indoor-outdoor living. The main living space flows beautifully into the outdoors, highlighted by a dramatic covered lanai with a rich wood-plank ceiling, recessed lighting, and modern ceiling fans-creating a resort-style atmosphere year-round. The gourmet chef's kitchen is both functional and elegant, showcasing custom wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, premium appliances, and a dedicated beverage bar ideal for entertaining. Large sliding glass doors open fully to the expansive covered patio, creating a true extension of the living space. This thoughtfully designed home offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms, providing privacy and comfort for family and guests alike. Each space is finished with clean lines, high ceilings, and quality craftsmanship throughout. Outdoors is where this property truly shines. The large covered patio deck includes multiple seating and dining areas, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and overlooks a resort-style pool with sun shelf, all framed by tropical landscaping and tranquil canal views. A covered boathouse with 10,000 lb lift, charming gazebo, and fenced yard complete this exceptional waterfront setting-perfect for boating days, sunset gatherings, and relaxed island evenings. This is a rare opportunity to own a nearly new canal-front home in one of Siesta Key's most desirable neighborhoods-offering luxury, lifestyle, and location in perfect harmony.
