Property Description

Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a deep-water canal near Siesta Key Village, this beautifully updated home blends luxury, comfort, and effortless coastal living. A bright, open layout welcomes you with higher ceilings and expansive windows that frame tranquil water views and lush tropical foliage, capturing the true essence of island living. The chef’s kitchen features gleaming quartz countertops, premium appliances, and abundant storage, while the inviting living room is centered around a cozy gas fireplace, which adds warmth, ambiance and creates the perfect setting for relaxing evenings or entertaining guests. Outdoors, the property shines with a solar-heated pebble-tec saltwater pool, lush tropical landscaping, and a private backyard overlooking the canal.
