Property Description

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION !!! One Block to the Crystal Sands of Siesta Key Beach the #1 Beach in the USA! Or spend the day on the Aqua waters with two boats on lifts out back, and 119' of frontage on the Grand Canal leading to the ICW (only one bridge with about 15’ clearance to the Gulf). Oversized 16,163 sf Lot, elevated concrete block home and spectacular pool in your view from most every room! Not just the best location, but this custom-built in 2016 West Indies style home is a fortress all on one level, including the pool, and is well above the FEMA flood zone. High and dry through the "storms of the century" in 2024. Beautiful, engineered hardwood floors, custom cabinetry throughout by Elite Woodworking in the Kitchen, all Bathrooms and Great Room. The entire house has been freshly painted inside & out. Three large en-suite bedrooms. Additional rooms currently utilized as office with Murphy Bed as well as very large Bonus Room could be utilized as additional bedrooms #4 & 5, if desired. Even the powder bath has a shower for guest convenience. Large walls of sliding glass doors in all waterfront rooms extend living spaces to a huge, screened Lanai which adds over 500 sf to living space under roof, and much more in the screened Lanai area.. All hurricane rated extra heavy duty PGT doors and windows. The total A/C space is 3,654 sf, with a overall total of 5,075 under roof. The oversized 3-car garage with an Epoxy floor has a very high ceiling which allows 2 more cars to be added on lifts for a total of 5 vehicles for the enthusiast. Isonene insulated and floored attic storage space is available above the garage. New in the past year: A/C Condenser & Air Handler system in 1 (of 2) zones, water heater, refrigerator, ice maker, boat lift control boxes on both Lifts. The large free form pool and spa have new (wifi) Pentair pool pump & heater & auto chlorinator. Both boats as well as professional decorator staged furniture, decor and pictures may be available for separate purchase for "Turn-Key" possession. DEFINITELY check out the Virtual Tour, since it provides “3D walk through any direction” photos which can really give you the flow of the house as you manipulate your way around.
