With powdery white sands and crystal-clear, turquoise waters right around the corner, your beach getaway is within easy reach. Whether you're basking in the sun by day or catching the mesmerizing Gulf sunsets every evening, this is island living at its best. In the desirable, friendly, deed-restricted community of Siesta Isles, this spacious three-bedroom, two-bath home sits on a lushly landscaped, nearly 15,000-square-foot lot with over 40 palm trees, bromeliads, and a spectacular, rare staghorn fern, plenty of room for outdoor fun and relaxation, plus room to add a pool. Whether you're searching for a beach house escape, a second home or a prime investment property, this home checks all the boxes. The open-concept floor plan provides flexible living space with large, airy rooms that are flooded with natural light. The wraparound wall of windows in the living and breakfast areas offers fabulous views of the tropical yard, creating a seamless connection with the outdoors. The renovated kitchen features glass backsplashes, white quartz countertops and newer appliances. A separate dining room provides ample seating for entertaining family and friends. The primary bedroom boasts its en-suite bath, offering a peaceful retreat, while the second bedroom and bath provide ample privacy for guests. Need an office or den≠ The third bedroom, with contemporary barn doors, easily converts to suit your needs. Sitting high and dry, this home had no water intrusion during recent hurricanes, according to the owner, and an inspection certification is available. With the private, tropically landscaped, low-maintenance, 6-foot fenced backyard and an oversized circular paver driveway able to accommodate many cars, it's the epitome of easy island living. Plus, the two-car garage offers additional convenience and storage. This home may be purchased turnkey furnished with a few exclusions, to make it move-in ready as a vacation home or ready to rent for an investor. For those with an eye on investment, this property offers future potential as a residential building site, thanks to its location, just blocks from the beach. The community also features a voluntary HOA with annual dues of just $250, adding to the value. In addition to the kitchen renovations, numerous improvements have been made totaling over $100,000, including: a metal roof (2022), HVAC (2023), paver driveway (2022) 6-foot PVC fence (2020), re-piped sewer and water lines, and more.
