Welcome to your personal island paradise on Siesta Key! This stunning 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with a 2-car garage and office is the epitome of beach and boating bliss. Just a short walk from the world-renowned Siesta Key Beach, famous for its powdery white quartz sand and dazzling azure waters, this 2,527 square-foot gem sits on the grand canal, offering deep boating water and a front-row seat to spectacular, colorful sunsets every evening. Step inside to an open, light-filled floor plan that has been lovingly expanded and renovated. A new 2024 roof new gutters, 2021 & 2017 HVACs, a new second 200-amp electrical panel, a new 100-amp sub-panel, 50-amp EV charging outlet, new tankless water heater, new pool pump & heater, hurricane impact sliders, with plumbing hydrojetted, descaled & lined in 2023, provides peace of mind & affordable insurance for decades to come.
