Gated Siesta Key Estate with Guest House & Boating Access. Experience the best of Siesta Key living, where award-winning white quartz sand beaches meet a relaxed island lifestyle, just minutes from Sarasota’s vibrant arts, dining, and cultural attractions. Don’t be deceived by the 1977 construction date. A 2003 addition doubled the size of this home. Metal roof installed in 2017. Pool and deck renewed in 2022. Brand new elevated sea wall and dock in 2023. 2 new A/C systems in 2026. And these are just some of the highlights. Tucked inside its own gated enclave, this exceptional waterfront estate with a detached guest house is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, creating a secluded oasis. The thoughtfully designed open floor plan offers many possibilities. The kitchen serves as the heart of this home, opening seamlessly to a casual living area and dining space, while the expansive living room beyond features a fireplace and picture windows framing tranquil water and tropical views. A versatile flex room at the front of the home easily adapts to your lifestyle — ideal as a home office, formal dining room, or playroom. Additional conveniences include a half bath and an oversized laundry room with access to a spacious two-car garage with abundant storage. French doors at the rear of the home lead to the outdoor living area, where a heated saltwater pool and spa overlook peaceful canal views wrapping along the rear and side of the property. Upstairs, the impressive primary suite offers a true retreat, complete with its own fireplace and a luxuriously appointed spa-style bathroom. A generous second bedroom features an ensuite bathroom, while two additional bedrooms share a third bathroom. Wood flooring, marble tile, high-end finishes, and distinctive architectural details are showcased throughout. Adding flexibility, the detached guest suite includes a private entrance, studio, bathroom, kitchenette, and private courtyard — perfect for guests, multigenerational living, live-in staff, home office space, or fitness studio. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate immediate access to the waterfront lifestyle with a private dock, 7,000-pound boat lift, plus an included 18-foot boat with trailer and two kayaks — ready for adventure from day one. Ideally located in the heart of Siesta Key, the home is just steps from the Out-of-Door Academy school, and a walk or bike ride to Siesta Beach and Siesta Village. Convenient access to the north bridge makes reaching downtown Sarasota easy. Offered turnkey furnished, this extraordinary property is move-in ready and perfectly suited as a primary residence, seasonal retreat, vacation home, or rental investment opportunity.
