Property Description
New Roof and New AC!! Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in Sarasota, this stunning three-bedroom, three-bath waterfront home offers the perfect blend of tranquility and lifestyle. Enjoy your own private pool with sweeping views over the water, plus direct Intracoastal Waterway access via Philippi Creek. Deep water and a nine-foot bridge clearance make it easy for most 30-foot center console boats to come and go. Just across the creek lies a protected Sarasota watercourse barrier and wildlife refuge, preserving breathtaking, unobstructed views. Recent updates include a brand-new roof, a freshly painted exterior, and the timeless charm of a paver-brick driveway. It also features a 1.5 car garage, perfect for parking a full-size vehicle and a golf cart, bikes, or beach gear. While the interior would benefit from cosmetic updates, the bones and location of this property are truly unbeatable. From your private waterfront retreat, every day feels like a vacation. Best of all, you’re just a five-minute drive from world-famous Siesta Key Beach. Call the listing agent today to schedule your private showing!
