This exceptional two-story home, nestled on a sprawling oversized lot, offers a rare blend of natural beauty and sophisticated design, providing an unparalleled living experience. Set back from the road and framed by majestic oaks, this home offers panoramic views of a tranquil bayou and a pristine wildlife preserve, creating a serene and private sanctuary. Every room is designed to capture the breathtaking surroundings, filling the home with natural light and a calming sense of tranquility. The seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces invites you to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature at every turn. The interior exudes timeless elegance, featuring soaring ceilings and walls of glass that open to the expansive landscape, ensuring that the stunning vistas are always in view. The spacious great room serves as the heart of the home, anchored by a beautiful fireplace, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Sliding doors open to a large, two-story screened lanai, effortlessly extending the living space and offering unparalleled views of the lush grounds, the tranquil bayou, and the peaceful wildlife preserve beyond. A chef’s dream, the gourmet kitchen is an entertainer’s delight. Custom cabinetry, elegant granite countertops, and high-end stainless steel appliances create a space as beautiful as it is functional. The expansive island with bar seating serves as the perfect focal point, while a second rounded island offers an intimate setting for casual dining. With ample storage and thoughtful design, this kitchen is perfect for both everyday meals and grand gatherings. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering a private sanctuary with a wall of sliders that open to a private second-story balcony. Here, you can enjoy panoramic views stretching across to the Field Club and Roberts Bay/Intracoastal Waterway, amplifying the serene and tranquil atmosphere. The spa-like primary bath is the ultimate indulgence, featuring dual vanities, a luxurious soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower—creating a peaceful, rejuvenating space to unwind. Outside, the magnificent two-story screened lanai serves as an extraordinary paradise. A large pool, waterfall spa, and paver deck provide the perfect setting for relaxation or entertaining, while covered seating and dining areas ensure comfort year-round. The soaring screen height creates an openness and grandeur, making this space ideal for both quiet retreats and hosting memorable gatherings. Along the back of the property, the 510-square-foot private dock offers direct access to the water, ideal for kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, or simply relaxing by the bayou’s edge. The peaceful waters and natural surroundings provide a sense of tranquility that is second to none. Additional features include a spacious guest suite with private entrance, a private office, a whole-house Kohler backup generator (2021), a two-car attached garage with an EV charger, and a new metal roof (2016). Located in a coveted Siesta Key location, this home offers the perfect balance of seclusion, tranquility, and accessibility—providing a lifestyle where luxury and nature harmoniously coexist.
