One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Perfectly positioned on deep canal waters just moments from Sarasota Bay, this Bird Key residence captures the essence of relaxed coastal living. Set on a generous lot and framed by tropical landscaping, this home blends privacy with proximity to Sarasota’s vibrant downtown and waterfront destinations. A circular brick-paver driveway leads to the welcoming front entry, while a brand-new roof (2024) offers peace of mind. Inside, more than 2,400 square feet of light-filled living space unfolds across an open, thoughtfully designed floorplan. Neutral oversized tile flooring flows throughout the main living areas, unifying the open-concept kitchen, family room, and dining spaces. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, sleek cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and expansive counter space—ideal for both daily living and effortless entertaining. Walls of sliding glass doors extend the living area out to the screened lanai, where a covered lounge and pavered deck frame the sparkling pool. The residence features three spacious bedrooms, including a private primary suite with large walk-in closet and a en-suite bathroom. The home’s split-bedroom layout ensures comfortable accommodations for guests, while ample storage and a generous laundry area add everyday functionality. A newly rebuilt seawall (2022) and deep-water dock provide direct access to Sarasota Bay, making this a true boater’s retreat. Enjoy morning coffee or sunset cocktails with tranquil canal views just steps from your back door. Bird Key is one of Sarasota’s most sought-after neighborhoods, prized for its central location, manicured streets, and strong sense of community. Residents enjoy proximity to the Bird Key Yacht Club, with optional membership for boating, tennis, fitness, and dining. Just minutes away are the world-class shopping and dining of St. Armands Circle, pristine beaches of Lido and Longboat Key, and Sarasota’s thriving arts and cultural district. This residence offers an opportunity to live on the water with generous indoor and outdoor spaces—perfect for savoring the Florida lifestyle in style and comfort.
