Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Siesta Key's most desirable waterfront neighborhoods, this beautifully maintained canal-front residence offers the kind of island lifestyle buyers dream about. Set on an exceptional pie-shaped homesite with 129 feet of waterfront and recapped seawall, this low-wake arm of the Grand Canal offers quick access to Roberts Bay while its calm, protected basin provides a peaceful, private setting for both boating and everyday waterfront living. Designed for easy indoor-outdoor living, the three-bedroom, two-bath home opens seamlessly to a private backyard retreat where a heated pool, fire pit and spacious screened lanai invite long afternoons in the Florida sunshine and evenings spent under the palms. The broad canal views create an unexpected sense of space, offering peaceful water vistas without feeling confined by neighboring homes. Whether entertaining friends or enjoying a quiet morning overlooking the water, every space feels relaxed, comfortable and unmistakably coastal. Inside, tray ceilings, plantation shutters and an abundance of natural light create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The thoughtfully updated kitchen features solid maple cabinetry, granite countertops, premium appliances, abundant storage and a convenient pass-through window for effortless entertaining. The spacious primary suite overlooks the pool and canal, complete with a generous walk-in closet and an updated ensuite bath with dual vanities, soaking tub and separate shower. A split-bedroom floor plan offers privacy for owners and guests alike. Boaters will appreciate the Trex dock, expanded waterside paver patio, 10,000-pound lift, fish cleaning station and protected canal setting, while the fully fenced yard, hurricane shutters, oversized laundry room, paver driveway and two-car garage add everyday convenience. The home remained dry during the 2024 storms, offering valuable peace of mind. Perhaps what makes this property so special isn't simply its long list of amenities, but the life it invites. It's the kind of home where grandchildren cannonball into the pool, dogs race across the backyard, friends linger around the fire pit long after sunset, and an evening boat ride becomes part of the daily routine. For those ready to trade elevators and HOA hallways for a private dock, a backyard made for gathering and a different sense of home, this is a rare opportunity. Just minutes from our famous Siesta Beach, the lively Siesta Key Village and the vibrancy downtown Sarasota, it offers waterfront living that feels both peaceful and connected.
