About this home
Under contract-accepting backup offers. This canal-front home on Bird Key offers direct boating access with no bridges to Sarasota Bay or the Gulf. Located one lot in from the corner, the residence includes 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and approximately 2,970 square feet of living space and 136 linear feet of water frontage just off the open bay. A circular paver driveway and mature landscaping create an inviting entrance. Inside, large tile floors run through the main living areas, and French doors provide abundant natural light while opening directly to the pool and screened lanai. The kitchen features black stone countertops, white cabinetry with glass accents, stainless steel appliances and a black-and-white tile backsplash. An adjacent dining area connects easily to both the kitchen and living spaces. The split-bedroom layout offers privacy and flexibility. Two bedrooms have en-suite baths and direct pool access, making them ideal for guests. One suite includes French doors to the pool and an updated bath with built-in shelving and a glass-enclosed corner shower. The primary suite also opens to the pool and includes wood flooring, a custom walk-in closet, dual vanities, a soaking tub and a separate walk-in shower. The screened lanai surrounds a large pool and provides covered seating areas for outdoor living. A private dock sits on a quiet canal with quick access to Sarasota Bay, making it easy to get out on the water. Living on Bird Key means more than just waterfront access. The neighborhood is known for its private, residential setting with wide streets and a strong sense of community. Residents enjoy proximity to downtown Sarasota, Lido Beach and St. Armands Circle, all just minutes away. Homeowners also have the option to join the Bird Key Yacht Club, which is currently being rebuilt from the ground up. The new club will offer updated dining, social spaces, fitness facilities and marina amenities, further enhancing the boating and social lifestyle that defines the island....
