About this property

Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a deep-water canal near Siesta Key Village, this beautifully updated home blends luxury, comfort, and effortless coastal living. A bright, open layout welcomes you with higher ceilings and expansive windows that frame tranquil water views and lush tropical foliage, capturing the true essence of island living.

The chef’s kitchen features gleaming quartz countertops, premium appliances, and abundant storage, while the inviting living room is centered around a cozy gas fireplace, which adds warmth, ambiance and creates the perfect setting for relaxing evenings or entertaining guests.

Outdoors, the property shines with a solar-heated pebble-tec saltwater pool, lush tropical landscaping, and a private backyard overlooking the canal. Boaters will appreciate the grandfathered boathouse, 10,000-lb lift, refreshed decking, and easy 15–20 minute access to open water along the Grand Canal. An outdoor kitchen area with a barbeque grill makes waterfront dining effortless, while the convenient outdoor bathroom provides easy access for pool days and boating adventures.

Inside, the desirable split floor plan includes three bedrooms, highlighted by a sun-filled primary suite with a lovely bath and custom closet. A separate office, den, or potential in-law suite—with its own exterior entrance and plumbing access—adds exceptional flexibility for guests, family, or work-from-home needs.

Looking for an investment opportunity? This home offers excellent potential for desirable monthly or long-term rentals in a high-demand waterfront location just minutes from Siesta Key Village. The versatile layout—including the option for a private-entry suite—creates potential for additional income, making it ideal for buyers seeking both personal enjoyment and strong rental performance.

French doors in all canal-facing rooms create seamless indoor-outdoor flow, inviting you to embrace Florida’s laid-back lifestyle. With its unbeatable combination of privacy, convenience, and coastal charm—plus world-famous Siesta Key Beach just minutes away—this home offers a rare chance to own a slice of paradise.
