About This Home

Perfectly positioned on coveted Robin Drive at the front of Bird Key, this fully reimagined bayfront residence captures Sarasota living at its finest. Originally built in 1996 and completely remodeled with exceptional attention to detail, the home blends timeless elegance with clean, modern lines and elevated materials selected for beauty and performance. Elevated above floodplain with a ground level over 10 feet the panoramic vistas span Sarasota Bay, the downtown skyline, and the iconic Ringling Bridge, presenting a stunning scene from sunrise through sunset. As evening falls, city lights shimmer and the Ringling Bridge illuminates, casting a soft sparkle across the Bay—a timeless view that never loses its allure. Set on protected waters ideal for boating, the property offers 120 feet of deep-water frontage at the junction of Bird Key’s Pompano Pass waterway, with unobstructed access to Sarasota Bay, Big Pass, and the Gulf —an exceptional opportunity for boating enthusiasts.
Inside, more than 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space unfolds across two light-filled levels. Soaring ceilings up to 14 feet and expansive walls of glass frame stunning bay views throughout. The front sitting room features a statement fireplace wall and flows seamlessly into the dining area, gourmet kitchen, and family living space—perfect for entertaining and everyday living.
The chef’s kitchen offers custom cabinetry, generous storage, a well-proportioned center island, and a discreet back kitchen and pantry with additional sink, appliances, and prep space. Premium Sub-Zero, Wolf, Bosch, and Miele appliances are complemented by sleek pop-up outlets. A nearby powder bath provides convenient access to the pool.
Sliding glass doors open to an expansive pavered pool deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The primary suite, privately located on the main level, features direct pool access, dual walk-in closets, a dressing area, and a luxurious spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a seated vanity, soaking tub, and designer lighting. A spacious office and second powder bath are also located nearby.
Upstairs are two en-suite bedrooms with bay views and a versatile bonus room ideal for guests or media use. Outdoors, enjoy a private waterfront oasis with a sun-drenched deck, pool, heated spa, and stone steps leading to the bay. The newly constructed seawall and Trex dock include fish and dock lights, a 24,000-pound boat lift, and kayak and jet ski lifts.
Additional features include a circular driveway, three-car garage with Tesla charger, new metal roof, and irrigation well. Located in prestigious Bird Key, residents enjoy proximity to downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle, with optional membership at the Bird Key Yacht Club and nearby Bird Key Park.
This is a rare offering of refined waterfront luxury in one of Sarasota’s most sought-after bayfront locations.
