Three bedrooms en-suite down the main hall, leads to a spacious laundry room. In the primary, you will be greeted by a wall of sun-drenched windows overlooking the tranquil waterfront of a nature filled cove. On your right, featuring an artisan bathroom, reminiscent of a storied Brooklyn boutique hotel. With an enameled iron, full body soaking tub, Kohler brushed gold rainhead shower and multiple jets, you can feel the tension of the day leave you. A walk-in closet with exquisitely carved, sliding doors from an 1890 estate in Chicago, honed white limestone and marble floors and French doors that open to the back deck—perfect for your morning coffee or evening drink! The sizable second corner bedroom lets in the great morning sun with windows on both sides of the room.

An inviting office, den or 4th bedroom (with its own entrance), includes a queen size Murphy bed custom built by local Amish craftsmen. The open living area has 18’ vaulted ceilings, exposed cedar beams and slats, and a bespoke lighting installation, all which center around an impressive gas fireplace with hearth surround, ideal for entertaining. However, it’s the stunning water views that take center stage throughout. The architect oriented the home on the property to ensure unobstructed views could be had from most windows, perfectly framing local fireworks for your own private viewing. The chefs dream of a kitchen with dual wall ovens, Viking 4 burner with grill top, pot filler, wine cooler (both white and red wines), marble countertops, bespoke Italian unlacquered brass facet, custom brass inlaid solid wood maple cabinets, honed marble floors, and finally, a matching vaulted ceiling in keeping with the living room. And this chef won’t feel left out of the party. On the contrary, the chef takes center stage as the kitchen was designed to rise slightly above the living room, proving a commanding view of your guests and the waterfront. Passing through to the lanai, which offers a stunning view, showcasing a screened porch, boat dock with water and power for you fishermen and fabulous views of the cove. There is an outdoor shower on the back deck to wash off the white Siesta Key sand before coming indoors. This spot is a boater's paradise! The canal grants you quick and easy access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Make this oasis yours!
