One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. *Located on the north end of Siesta Key, this custom-built luxury waterfront home sits on a very private lot, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and mature coconut palms. Perfectly positioned on a coastal playground just off Big Pass, it offers deep-water access, boating convenience, and serene natural beauty. The flexible layout includes 5 en-suite bedrooms, an elevator to all three levels, and a spacious main-level suite ideal for guests or multigenerational living. An engineer-approved option to remove a non-load-bearing wall allows for easy creation of a great room concept—a virtual rendering is included in the photo gallery to illustrate the potential. The chef’s kitchen features GE Monogram and Fisher & Paykel appliances, a butler’s pantry, beverage station, and pocketing glass doors opening to a full summer kitchen, PebbleTec saltwater pool and spa, and lush outdoor spaces. Hurricane-rated windows and doors, elevated construction, and a full-home generator protected the interior during recent storms—no water intrusion or damage occurred, with water reaching only the garage level. Extras include a 13,000 lb. lift, composite dock, 3-car garage with EV charger, whole-house water filtration, security system, and ample storage. A rare opportunity to own a private, resilient, and reimagined Siesta Key waterfront retreat.
