Welcome to Pres de la Mer on Siesta Key, a classic, smartly renovated beach home on Siesta Key. You'll need just your bathing suit, flip flops and sunscreen to immediately enjoy island life. Only one-and-a-half blocks to Siesta Beach and close to Siesta Village, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home is the perfect primary residence, beach getaway or investment home. Fully renovated in 2018 and 2019 by Yoder Homes & Remodeling, a well-known premier local builder. A second renovation in 2021 includes a fabulous new kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, high-quality stainless steel appliances and a new roof. You'll appreciate the clean contemporary lines, quality materials, and craftsmanship found in this home. The well-designed, open concept, fully tiled floor plan offers a great room that flows easily into the dining area and kitchen. The split bedroom plan offers plenty of privacy, with two large master bedroom suites boasting luxury baths. A third, smaller bedroom has been converted to an office with a custom California Closets desk, closet and built-ins. Sliders lead to a spacious pool and lanai area with seating areas in the sun and shade, perfect for relaxing or sunbathing. For Francophiles, the oversized fenced yard offers a custom pétanque (boules) court plus plenty of room for children and pets (or for possible future expansion). A few of the many features and upgrades include solid core contemporary five-panel doors, upgraded light fixtures and ceiling fans, remote-controlled shades in the living room and master bedroom, impact-resistant windows and doors throughout (rated to 175 mph winds), extended screened-in lanai and pavers, PVC sewer lines replaced below the slab, HVAC ductwork, water heater and epoxy garage floor. Large, low-maintenance corner lot with drive-through one-car garage and paver driveway. From the quiet backyard, you can hear the distant sounds of the Sunday evening weekly drum circle on the beach and the Gulf waves at night. Stroll 1.5 blocks to Siesta Beach to catch blazing sunsets each evening and a 10-minute walk to Siesta Village for dining and shopping. Only 15 minutes to downtown Sarasota's urban amenities and activities.
