Uniquely charming, this rare circa 1936 vintage cottage on Siesta Key's bayfront offers updated living with the ambiance and character of yesteryear. Rumored to be one of the original "fish camp" bungalows, this home exudes warmth and character. The front porch entry welcomes you into the spacious living and dining rooms, boasting original pecky cypress walls and open rafter ceilings. The original stone fireplace and hearth add to the delightful appeal of this home, which also features rich hardwood floors throughout. The updated kitchen and baths were designed by Missi Bart of Renaissance Design Studio. The kitchen features shaker cabinets with glass fronts, a natural gas cooktop, built-in refrigerator and plenty of counter space. The large master suite overlooks the bay, offers high ceilings, transom windows and a well-designed master bath. A peaceful, relaxing guest bedroom and bath suite is perfect for entertaining overnight guests. An inside laundry room and office with two built-in desks and shelving complete the indoor living space. The lush tropical landscape offers abundant privacy for the screened lanai and freeform pool, overlooking the bay and Intracoastal Waterway where you'll experience spectacular sunrises and reflective, colorful sunsets over the bay. Relax in a hammock by the bay and enjoy watching dolphins frolicking and pelicans soaring by. Rebuilt 3 years ago, the expansive dock on the Intracoastal Waterway is perfect for your boat or sailboat, no fixed bridges to the Gulf of Mexico. Close to Turtle Beach and the restaurants and boutiques on south Siesta Key. Minutes to Siesta Beach's famous white sand, Siesta Village and easy access to the mainland over the South Bridge. Only 20 minutes to downtown Sarasota's cultural activities, restaurants and entertainment.
