Take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy a secluded, waterfront lifestyle in the private community of Bay Isles Bayou Section. This lovely three-bedroom plus loft home rests on more than a quarter-acre of property overlooking Crane’s Bayou. Appealing to the avid boater, just a stone’s throw away from Sarasota Bay’s open waters, this home offers deep-water (6 ft. water depth) dockage, 10,000-pound lift, shore power and water. Lush, manicured landscaping and a pavered circular drive are the perfect introduction. The expansive, open layout features cathedral vaulted ceilings, formal and informal dining, eat-in kitchen, a loft currently being used as a home office, and two guest bedroom suites (one is a junior master suite with its own sitting area, terrace and private pool deck access). The master suite is a charming getaway offering a spacious bathroom, walk-in closet and a wall of sliders leading directly to the pavered lanai. Entertain effortlessly on the waterfront pool deck, with covered dining areas, space to lounge or sunbathe, plus heated swimming pool and spa. The Bayou Section is located behind the secure gates of Bay Isles, just a sunny bike ride away from Longboat Key Club’s Harbourside complex. Club members enjoy the first-class dining, wide array of lush green for golf, tennis and fitness center. Bayou residents simply love the deeded access to the private Bay Isles Beach Club.
