Beautifully updated homes can be recreated, however 320 feet of waterfront cannot. Add 2,510 square feet of sophisticated living, a 50-foot private dock, a short route toward open water, and this becomes a Siesta Key opportunity that is anything but ordinary. Designed for those who want the water to be part of everyday life, this beautifully updated residence combines three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, generous living spaces, thoughtful privacy and a clean contemporary aesthetic. Soaring ceilings, large windows and abundant natural light bring an airy energy to the open-concept living room that becomes the focal point of your island lifestyle. Plantation shutters offer privacy and architectural character, while gorgeous tile flooring creates cohesion and easy maintenance between Siesta Key adventures. The completely renovated kitchen makes a sophisticated statement with sleek gray and white cabinetry, quartz countertops and open shelving that turns favorite serving pieces into artful display. Privately positioned, the owner's wing feels like a retreat of its own. The primary suite and separate study or recreation room sit adjacent to a secluded canal-side patio-the perfect perch for quiet morning coffee or sunset spirits. The renovated primary bath features modern cabinetry, a frameless glass shower and a luxurious soaking tub with water views. The additional bath has been equally thoughtfully renovated. Outside, Siesta Key living takes center stage. A screened pool, new pool deck and covered entertaining space offer plenty of room for lounging while overlooking the canal, while a private 50-foot Trex dock with a 5,000-pound boat lift makes boating an effortless extension of the day. Whether you like to tinker or simply appreciate being organized, even the garage is ready for you with painted flooring, extensive cabinetry and smart closet storage. Distinctive yet remarkably versatile, this is polished, move-in-ready Siesta Key living-with the kind of relationship to the water that simply cannot be recreated.
