Coastal living in the heart of Siesta Key
The Anchorage, a 10-story condominium complex completed in 1975, stands as a testament to enduring coastal charm on Siesta Key. With 90 units, this waterfront property offers residents a blend of beach proximity and serene bay views. Situated near the Stickney Point Bridge, The Anchorage provides easy access to both the renowned Siesta Key Beach and the vibrant mainland of Sarasota. The building's location, coupled with its array of amenities, creates an ideal setting for those seeking a relaxed yet active Florida lifestyle.
Spacious layouts with stunning coastal views
The Anchorage offers a range of generously sized units, from cozy 2-bedroom configurations to expansive 3-bedroom residences. The 2-bedroom units span from 1,287 to 2,580 square feet, featuring 2 to 3 bathrooms, with prices ranging from $575,000 to $791,234. For those desiring more space, the 3-bedroom units measure between 2,358 and 2,580 square feet, boasting 2.5 to 3 bathrooms, and are priced around $1,510,000.
Many units boast recent renovations, showcasing modern finishes that complement the coastal setting. Kitchens often feature sleek stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and ample storage space. Large windows and sliding glass doors lead to private balconies, some stretching an impressive 34 feet in length, offering panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico, Siesta Key, and the Intracoastal Waterway.
The split-bedroom floor plans provide privacy and comfort, with spacious master suites often including walk-in closets and updated en-suite bathrooms. Some units feature custom-designed closets, adding a touch of luxury and organization. Many residences have been outfitted with hurricane-impact windows and doors, ensuring safety and peace of mind during storm seasons.
Monthly HOA fees range from $700 to $1,300, covering a comprehensive list of services including cable TV, common area maintenance, pool upkeep, escrow reserves, insurance, structural maintenance, ground maintenance, management, pest control, private road maintenance, sewer, trash, and water services.
Resort-inspired amenities with a coastal flair
The Anchorage offers an impressive array of amenities that cater to an active and social lifestyle. The centerpiece is the heated Olympic-sized pool, perfect for year-round swimming and relaxation. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the well-equipped exercise room, while tennis and pickleball courts provide opportunities for friendly competition.
For those who prefer water activities, the private boat docking facilities along the Intracoastal Waterway are a standout feature, complete with electric and water hookups. A fish cleaning station adds convenience for anglers returning from a day on the water. Kayak storage is available for residents who enjoy exploring the local waterways.
The clubhouse serves as a social hub, offering a space for community gatherings and events. Residents can unwind in the his and her saunas after a workout or enjoy a barbecue in the designated grilling areas. The property's park-like setting, adorned with Banyan and Old Oak trees, provides a tranquil backdrop for outdoor relaxation.
Additional amenities include shuffleboard courts, basketball facilities, and corn hole boards, catering to a variety of interests. The gated entrance ensures privacy and security for residents and their guests.
The Anchorage also offers practical services to enhance residents' living experience. An on-site rental program provides flexibility for owners interested in generating income from their units. The building provides covered private parking, extra storage options, and convenient laundry facilities. Perhaps most notably, residents enjoy deeded beach access, allowing for easy trips to Siesta Key's famous white sand shores.
Island charm meets coastal convenience
The Anchorage is ideally situated in the heart of Siesta Key, offering residents the perfect blend of island tranquility and accessible amenities. The neighborhood exudes a laid-back, vacation-like atmosphere, characteristic of this renowned barrier island.
Just steps away, residents can indulge in the culinary delights of local favorites such as the Daiquiri Deck and Captain Curt's Crab & Oyster Bar. For those seeking a more upscale dining experience, Ophelia's on the Bay, located about 3 miles away, offers elegant seafood dishes with stunning waterfront views.
Shopping enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to unique local boutiques. The Wave Inspired, a short 15-minute walk away, offers beach-inspired fashion, while Molly's - A Chic and Unique Boutique, about a mile distant, provides a curated selection of stylish apparel and accessories.
For everyday necessities, Morton's Siesta Market, a local gourmet grocery store, is just a short drive away. The Sarasota Pavilion, an outdoor retail complex featuring well-known stores, is conveniently located about a mile and a half from The Anchorage.
Nature lovers will find solace in nearby green spaces such as Phillippi Estate Park, a 60-acre dog-friendly park featuring historic buildings, trails, and fishing piers. The park, just a 30-minute walk or 5-minute drive away, offers a perfect escape for outdoor enthusiasts.
The neighborhood's greatest asset, however, is its proximity to Siesta Beach, consistently ranked among the best beaches in the United States. With its powdery quartz sand and crystal-clear waters, the beach is just a short stroll from The Anchorage, allowing residents to easily enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and spectacular sunsets.
Island accessibility with mainland connections
While The Anchorage benefits from its island location, it also offers convenient access to mainland Sarasota. The Stickney Point Bridge, adjacent to the property, provides a direct route to the city, connecting residents to a wider array of amenities and services.
For those who prefer to explore the island without a car, Siesta Key offers a free trolley service. This convenient transportation option allows residents to easily visit Siesta Key Village, home to additional shopping and dining options, without the hassle of parking.
Cycling is a popular mode of transportation on the key, with many residents and visitors taking advantage of the island's relatively flat terrain and scenic views. The Anchorage's location makes it easy to bike to nearby attractions and beaches.
For longer trips, the Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport is approximately 12 miles away, or about a 25-minute drive, providing convenient access for domestic and international travel.
While the area is somewhat walkable, particularly for short trips to nearby restaurants and shops, having a car is beneficial for accessing more distant attractions and services on the mainland. The Anchorage's ample parking facilities make car ownership convenient for residents.
