Welcome to this beautifully elevated and fully renovated Siesta Key retreat, ideally located just a short walk from the world-famous sands of Siesta Beach and less than one mile to the Siesta Key Village. Offering 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 3,082 square feet, this thoughtfully reimagined two-story home was extensively renovated from top to bottom in 2021, including every door, doorknob, electrical outlet, light fixture, built-in cabinetry, flooring, carpet, sink, toilet and vanity, blending warmth, character and elevated coastal living. From the moment you step inside, the attention to detail is evident. Vaulted shiplap ceilings with dramatic wood beams extend through the main living spaces, while abundant windows fill the home with natural light. A striking stone feature wall anchors the living room, complemented by designer touches throughout the home, including board-and-batten accents, beautiful wallpaper and carefully selected finishes. The open kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring solid wood cabinetry, quartzite countertops, an oversized island, reverse-osmosis filtered drinking water at the kitchen sink, and an impressive collection of appliances including a 36-inch Bertazzoni induction range, built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador dishwasher, microwave drawer and pot filler. Just beyond the kitchen, an inviting sitting area is framed by an expansive wall of glass overlooking the lush outdoor living spaces, creating a beautiful connection between the interior and backyard oasis. The first floor also includes a private office, powder bath, laundry room with cabinetry, sink and stacked washer and dryer, and a spacious primary suite. The primary bedroom opens directly to the pool area through large impact sliders and features a walk-in closet plus additional built-in storage. The beautifully appointed primary bath offers a large walk-in shower, dual vanity with makeup area, soaking tub and private water closet. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and two full baths, including a spacious en-suite bedroom with a walk-in shower and large storage closet. Another bedroom features a cedar-lined closet, while the oversized fourth bedroom includes a charming built-in bunk area that can be tucked away behind a door when not in use. The outdoor living space is truly exceptional and designed to be enjoyed year-round. Multiple covered sitting and dining areas surround an outdoor kitchen beneath a retractable marine-grade canvas covering that opens electronically at the touch of a remote, allowing you to transition effortlessly between shade and open sky. The beautiful, elevated pool and spa create a stunning centerpiece, while a turf area, outdoor shower and dedicated storage areas for kayaks and outdoor gear add to the functionality of the space. The backyard was thoughtfully designed and is enclosed by an elegant stucco wall with custom wooden gates in four locations. Mature tropical landscaping surrounds the property, creating a private oasis just minutes from everything Siesta Key has to offer. Additional highlights include impact windows and sliders throughout the home, 2 new air conditioners, a two-car garage with a loft above to provide valuable storage space. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated, elevated Siesta Key home where thoughtful design, exceptional outdoor living and an unbeatable island location come together.
