Property Description
This striking waterfront Bird Key residence delivers a seamless blend of refined updates, thoughtful design, and effortless coastal living. Nestled along a wide canal just moments from Sarasota Bay, this four-bedroom home-with additional office-offers nearly 3,400 square feet of open living space, designed to showcase its serene water views and inviting indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Noteworthy enhancements include new roof in 2023, hurricane-impact windows and sliders, custom lighting, updated bathrooms, and a paver driveway framed by lush tropical landscaping. Step inside to a light-filled layout where wide-plank tile flooring flows throughout. At the heart of the home, the redesigned kitchen sets a stylish tone with crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a massive island with bar seating, and premium stainless-steel appliances. A secondary counter area doubles as a coffee/wine bar or serving station-perfect for entertaining. The adjacent living and dining room is anchored by a custom paneled accent wall with fireplace and floating shelves, while oversized pocketing glass doors create a continuous connection to the expansive pool terrace and the water beyond. The split-bedroom plan enhances privacy, with the waterfront primary suite tucked away for maximum tranquility. Beautiful water views are complemented by a spa-like bathroom featuring dual vanities, glass-enclosed shower, and generous custom closets. Across the home, three additional guest bedrooms offer versatility. One is currently used as an office with a built-in Murphy bed; another includes its own en-suite bath and patio access-ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Outdoor entertaining takes center stage on the reimagined lanai, where a resurfaced heated swimming pool and expansive newer deck invite relaxation. Dine while relishing bay breezes, enjoy drinks at the custom tiki bar with built-in grill, or unwind at the water's edge. The 100-feet of seawall (2005), newer dock (2023), dual 7,000-pound jet ski lifts, and 10,000-pound boat lift complete this boater's paradise. Located on one of Sarasota's most sought-after barrier islands, Bird Key offers private club amenities (with additional membership to the Bird Key Yacht Club), security, and an unmatched central location. Just minutes from downtown Sarasota's cultural attractions, St. Armands Circle's boutique shopping and dining, and the white sands of Lido and Longboat Key beaches, this home is an extraordinary opportunity to live the Gulf Coast lifestyle with every comfort in place.
