Located in the highly sought-after Bay Isles community on Siesta Key, this property at 847 Freeling Drive offers a rare opportunity to customize and create your ideal coastal home. Positioned on the first street onto Siesta Key, the location provides exceptional convenience to the bridge, mainland, and all that the island has to offer. The home features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, with the upper level remaining intact and in great condition. The ground level experienced flooding during the recent hurricanes; however, the seller has already completed professional remediation, providing a clean slate for updates and renovations to suit your vision. Situated on a protected deep-water basin, the property is ideal for boating and waterfront living, complete with a private dock, no fixed bridges, and direct access just minutes to the Gulf. The home also features a pool, offering the perfect foundation to create a true coastal retreat. This is a unique opportunity to secure a well-located waterfront property and finish it to your exact specifications in one of Siesta Key’s most desirable communities.
