Three bedrooms on the main level, including one en-suite, and a second-floor master suite with a PRIVATE BALCONY OFFERING BREATHTAKING SUNRISE AND SUNSET VIEWS. Step outside and feel like you're on vacation every day. The lush, tropical grounds are packed with resort-style amenities: Tiki hut with a full bar and grill, two fire pits, five-zone low-voltage night lighting creating a magical evening ambiance, heated pool and spa, boat lift, a new boathouse (2019) and new seawall (2023/2024). Additional Upgrades: Two new A/C units (2019), septic-to-sewer conversion (2018). Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this home offers privacy without sacrificing accessibility. You're just a short bike ride to the Gulf beaches, near The Landings for shopping and dining, and minutes from downtown Sarasota’s vibrant arts and culture scene.
