642 Waterside Way, Sarasota, FL 34242

Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on one of Siesta Key’s best streets, this tropically landscaped five-bedroom, four-bath canal home is the perfect spot to enjoy island life. One step inside is all it takes to fall in love with this completely remodeled open floor plan home. Wall-to-wall sliding doors open to the screened lanai with direct water views. A massive quartz island provides copious prep and serving space in the chef-inspired kitchen, complete with an abundance of white shaker cabinets, Jenn-Air stainless steel appliances, an under-counter wine refrigerator, beautiful light fixtures and a breakfast nook with banquette seating. Three of the five bedrooms are located downstairs, including the primary bedroom with glass French doors that overlook and open onto the sparkling pool and spa area, plus two walk-in closets, crown molding and plantation shutters. The primary bath provides a spa-like experience, light and bright with a walk-in subway tiled shower bordered by frameless glass, a Kohler-heated bubble massage air tub trimmed with quartz, two separate quartz vanities, a linen closet and a private water closet. Upstairs you’ll find the perfect getaway for guests and kids, including two very large en-suite bedrooms with quartz vanities, walk-in closets and plantation shutters. A bonus room with a custom built-in media center and beadboard wainscoting paneling separate the two upstairs bedrooms, the perfect spot to hang out with friends or watch a movie. While the interior is spectacular, the outdoor area is just as appealing with the perfect mix of multiuse space for sun, shade, outdoor dining and entertaining. Shellstone pavers surround the south-facing open-air pool, screened lanai and rear patio. A composite dock and 10,000-pound boat lift are ready for watersport enthusiasts as this home is just a short ride out the Grand Canal to the open waters of Sarasota Bay. In 2013, the home underwent an extensive renovation, including a new roof, kitchen, all baths, plumbing and concrete siding. You won’t want to miss out on this wonderful home.
