About This Home
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. PRIVATE WATERFRONT LUXURY | Siesta Key’s Discreet Side of Paradise
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the coveted Sara Sands neighborhood, this turnkey waterfront residence offers the rare balance of complete privacy and immediate enjoyment. Built in 2015 by award-winning Lee Wetherington and elevated at 10.5 feet, the home blends timeless design with modern resilience — impact-rated windows, a 20kW generator, and no storm damage history.
A wide canal and private dock with lift provide direct access to the Intracoastal and Gulf, yet the setting feels worlds away from the bustle. This is Siesta Key at its most serene — a location favored by those who value security, discretion, and refined living.
The interior offers three en suite bedrooms, a versatile den, and an open plan that flows to a covered lanai, heated saltwater pool, and outdoor kitchen. A newly remodeled chef’s kitchen features quartz countertops, Thermador appliances, and a propane stove. Fresh paint, updated flooring, and a new HVAC system mean every detail is ready.
Stroll or bike to Siesta Key Beach, Morton’s Market, casual and refined restaurants, the Out-of-Door Academy, and Siesta Village. 30+ day rentals allowed by Sarasota County.
For those accustomed to the best, this is an investment in both lifestyle and peace of mind — a rare, ready-now alternative to years of construction.
