Island paradise; Idyllically located on over-1.5 acres on the southern end of world famous Siesta Key. This grand yet cozy estate home is impressive from the moment one enters the private gates and is welcomed by the long-paver circular drive, giant oak trees, sparkling fountains and elevated entry. Once inside, the two-story foyer and adjacent living area give way to oversized terraces and stunning views of the backyard, infinity-edge pool and tranquil bay waters beyond. The perfectly designed kitchen boasts custom cabinetry and a unique serving area with walk-in pantry allowing functional access to both the formal dining room and adjacent family room. Understated elegance resonates through the use of high-end finishes from the hardwood flooring to the banks of windows and doors, custom millwork, exotic granites, uniquely adorned fireplaces and even a stamped-tin ceiling in the office. The master suite with fireplace and multiple sets of French doors opening onto a private terrace is a special retreat and each of the three-guest bedrooms features their own en suite bathrooms. Air-conditioned storage; a five to seven-car garage space; multiple terracing outdoor spaces; lushly landscaped surroundings, pool area and bay front. Deeded beach access.
