Poised within the prestigious enclave of Bird Key, 381 Bob White Drive is an exquisitely appointed garden residence defined by understated luxury, architectural balance, and refined coastal living. The home offers four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a private office and nearly 3,800 square feet of thoughtfully curated interiors, complemented by a three-car garage and exceptional curb appeal framed by manicured landscaping. Thoughtfully remodeled in 2013, with continuous renovations in 2014 and 2018, the residence showcases rich hardwood flooring throughout, beautifully updated baths, and a timeless palette of finishes that feel elevated and inviting. A paver drive and lush gardens create a gracious arrival, while the home’s flowing layout lends itself equally well to intimate daily living and polished entertaining. The primary suite, on the main level, is a serene retreat with generous proportions, walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Direct access to the pool deck enhances the sense of privacy and ease. The split-bedroom design continues upstairs, where a spacious bonus room, two additional bedrooms, and a full bath provide ideal accommodations for guests or flexible living. The gourmet kitchen anchors the home with sleek countertops, custom cabinetry, a breakfast bar and thoughtfully expanded storage, including additional cabinetry and a built-in wine cooler. A sunlit breakfast nook overlooks the pool, while the formal dining room, just beyond the kitchen, offers an elegant setting for gatherings and celebrations. Outdoor living is beautifully curated with a heated pool, a well-appointed outdoor kitchen and multiple seating areas, all surrounded by mature landscaping that creates a sense of privacy and tranquility. A well-water irrigation system with upgraded sprinklers supports the home’s lush, garden-like setting. Ideally, between downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle, Bird Key remains one of the area’s desired addresses. Residents enjoy proximity to Bird Key Yacht Club, as well as effortless access to the beaches of Lido Key, Longboat Key and Siesta Key. 381 Bob White Drive presents a rare opportunity to enjoy elevated garden living in one of Sarasota’s iconic communities, where timeless elegance and an exceptional lifestyle converge.
