Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to your own private retreat, where every corner of this property has been thoughtfully designed to inspire year-round relaxation, entertaining, and everyday convenience. Just 3 miles from Siesta Key, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with over 1,700 sq ft of living space blends modern comforts with breezy Florida charm and outdoor living that truly feels like a resort. The backyard is a tropical paradise featuring a custom-designed freeform pool with rock waterfall, a luxury tiki grill and bar, an outdoor shower with hot and cold water, and multiple pergola-covered lounge areas perfect for gathering under the lights. Enjoy the tranquility of a screened-in lanai with tiled floors and ceiling fans, all overlooking professionally designed landscaping and a contoured Trex boardwalk that borders the paver patio. Mature foliage, fruit-bearing cherry, mango, and mulberry trees, and a manicured turf lawn enhance the ambiance, while the one-of-a-kind treehouse with workout and play zones adds unique functionality for all ages. Inside, the home flows effortlessly with light-filled living areas, an updated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, crisp white cabinetry, butcher block breakfast bar, and a Kinetico Reverse Osmosis system at the sink for the highest quality water filtration, along with a spacious sunroom wrapped in windows. Additional highlights include full impact-resistant windows and doors, concrete board siding, a freshly painted exterior, a brand-new roof installed in 2021 by Grayhawk Construction with updated soffit and fascia, and a 360-degree solar-powered surveillance system. The property also offers a substantial extended driveway with basketball quarter court, a second gated drive with 50 amp and sewer hookups for RV or boat storage, and a private shell-parking area. A community boat dock is available for residents with access to Phillippi Creek and the Intracoastal. Located just minutes from the powdery shores of Siesta Key, shopping and dining at The Landings Plaza and Gulf Gate, the vibrant culture of downtown Sarasota, and 3 miles from Sarasota Memorial Hospital, this optionally turnkey furnished home is a rare opportunity to own a fully equipped slice of paradise in one of the most desirable areas on the Gulf Coast. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
