Perfectly situated between downtown Sarasota and Lido Beach/St. Armands Circle you will find the island of Bird Key and this beautiful waterfront home offered at a compelling price considerably less than a recent 2020 appraisal. The lushly landscaped curb appeal is evident as you pull into the circular brick paver drive and park in the oversized three car garage. Upon entering you are greeted by the open floor plan and formal living and dining rooms with pool and canal water views visible beyond the French doors. The first floor master suite takes full advantage of the water views with separate access to the terrace and abundant windows dressed in plantation shutters. The spacious master bath offers dual vanities, Jacuzzi tub, oversized frameless shower and large walk-in closet. The kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, granite countertops, breakfast bar, island and separate eating nook flanked by aquarium glass and overlooking the terrace. The kitchen opens up to the large family room with gas fireplace and full size bar complete with sink, ice maker, wine refrigeration and cabinetry. Guests will enjoy their private getaway upstairs in one of the two ensuite guest bedrooms. The brick paver pool deck surrounds the gas heated pool and spa and offers plenty of room in the covered, shaded area or the sun exposed pool area that is also screened. Boating enthusiasts will be pampered with the large Trex dock, lift, newer seawall and the short distance to navigate to the open bay. Other home highlights include a laundry room off the kitchen, natural gas home generator, hurricane shutters for all windows and a newly carpeted office space with custom built-ins on the first floor. One of the benefits to living on Bird Key is the opportunity to join the exclusive Bird Key Yacht Club offering outstanding amenities and opportunities for boating, social events, dining and recreational enjoyment on the water. They offer a no-obligation 60 day introductory program for prospective members.
