Property Description
Tucked away on highly sought-after Bay Island, just over the North Siesta Key Bridge, 679 Norsota Way is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Sarasota's architectural history or create something entirely new. Built in 1926, this Mediterranean Revival Spanish Colonial estate sits gracefully on an expansive 2/3-acre lot, offering timeless character, generous scale, and unmatched potential. The property is one of the largest parcels on Bay Island with 150 feet of deep water bayfront, presenting a rare offering for a new waterfront estate with perhaps the most coveted view in Sarasota. The existing 3,788 sqft two-story residence captures breathtaking views overlooking Sarasota Bay, the Ringling Bridge, and the downtown skyline, a daily backdrop that defines true coastal living. Importantly, the property is not historically designated, presenting a high level of flexibility. For those seeking new construction, this exceptional 2/3-acre homesite offers the opportunity to start fresh without the constraints of an HOA or significant building restrictions, an increasingly uncommon advantage in such a premier location. No deed restrictions or grand oaks constrain future construction. Perfectly positioned just 10 minutes to downtown Sarasota and 5 minutes to the beach, this property blends privacy, proximity, and prestige in one of the area's most coveted neighborhoods.
