This fantastic home was designed for entertaining. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, this canal-front home is conveniently located very close to the Siesta Key Village, the world-famous white-sand beach, and only a few minutes by boat to the open waters of the Intracoastal Waterway. Upon entering the home, you are immediately drawn across the spacious open-concept great room and through the triple French doors to the expansive multi-level covered lanai. This is the quintessential Siesta Key beach house where one seamlessly experiences both the incredible indoor and outdoor island lifestyle. An entertainer’s dream with an incredible backdrop of a wide canal, boat lift, and dock, a large, heated saltwater pool with spillover spa, travertine decking, and tropical landscaping professionally illuminated for the ultimate setting. 11-foot ceilings provide an expansive sensation flowing throughout the first floor. The kitchen features 42-inch wood cabinets, granite countertops with a tumbled marble tile backsplash, and a stainless steel appliance package including a 6-burner Wolf gas cooktop, convection oven, microwave, warming drawer, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The primary owner’s suite is a massive retreat complete with two large custom walk-in closets, an en-suite bathroom with two vanities, a walk-through shower, jetted soaking tub, and a private water closet. One can’t call a house an entertainer’s dream without multiple venues to entertain. A large upstairs family room with a private balcony, wet bar, and beverage fridge is perfect for watching movies and playing games, while just across the hall is a spacious covered and open balcony, an ideal area for quiet evenings, private sunbathing, and stargazing. This open and split floor plan allows privacy among the five bedrooms, with two laundry rooms to enhance your comfort and convenience. Those who work from home will appreciate the designated first-floor office with tropical landscape views. There is an amazing amount of storage throughout the home, while the oversized 3-car garage delivers considerable additional space for tools, bikes, and your beach essentials.
