Miniscule amount of water in garage likely wind-blown. This beautifully designed residence offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Ideally poised on a generous 16,000+ sq ft lot close to the world-renowned Siesta Key Beach, this home offers easy access to powdery white sands and breathtaking sunsets. Enjoy the convenience of Siesta Village which provides nearby shops and restaurants with a variety of dining and shopping options minutes away. The home is situated at a point on the Grand Canal which curves providing exceptional open serene views. This home is equipped with a majority of hurricane rated windows and sliding doors. The great news is that there was minimal impact from any recent storms (see attached Seller’s Property Disclosure form.)There's an opportunity for a dock at a designated cut-in on the seawall. A large oak tree with a tree swing adds a touch of nostalgia and provides the perfect spot to reflect on the lovely water views. Inside, the home is bathed in natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Five generously sized bedrooms ensure comfort and privacy for family and guests. The living areas are generously sized for entertaining with views of the water. The second floor addition was added in 2008 with a separate entrance making the perfect in-law suite or 2 BR guest quarters. The oversized 3 car garage has expansive storage. Step outside to your private oasis, where the expansive outdoor spaces are perfect for enjoying the Florida sunshine. A stunning pool and outdoor entertaining area offer the ideal setting for al fresco dining, lounging, and hosting gatherings with friends and family. Beautiful mature trees adorn the lot and the circular drive offers convenient access. This stunning Siesta Isles home is a rare find, offering the best of Siesta Key living. Don't miss the opportunity to make this your new waterfront paradise.
