About this home

A Key West-inspired waterfront retreat in prestigious Bird Key, this residence blends timeless coastal design with extensive updates and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Set along 101 feet of canal frontage with direct access to Sarasota Bay, the property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a boating lifestyle in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
Manicured landscaping and inviting front porches introduce the home’s architectural charm, while inside, nearly 3,400 square feet of living space unfolds across two levels (furnishings may be purchased separately). Beautiful hardwood flooring connects the open layout, where vaulted ceilings, skylights, and impact-rated PGT windows and doors fill the interiors with natural light. The double glass and solid wood entry opens to a bright, contemporary living space that flows effortlessly into the formal dining area.
At the heart of the home, the eat-in chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully designed with shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and a breakfast bar peninsula. A dedicated cafe-style dining area is complemented by a wet bar featuring dual wine cooler/beverage refrigerator, and floating shelving. Impact sliding glass doors open to the covered outdoor entertaining area and pool deck beyond. This inviting space overlooks the family room.
Upstairs, the oversized primary suite offers a private retreat with terrace access, a spacious en-suite bathroom, and a walk-in closet. A second en-suite bedroom also enjoys its own terrace, while two additional guest bedrooms share a third bath, providing flexibility for family and visitors.
Outdoor living is designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The heated swimming pool is surrounded by a brick paver deck, with an additional open deck ideal for lounging. Just beyond, the extended dock and newly reinforced seawall (2025) create a seamless connection to the water, offering direct access to the waterway that flows out to Sarasota Bay, for boating and waterfront enjoyment.
A long list of improvements enhances the home’s value and peace of mind, including a 2023 metal roof, impact PGT windows and doors, updated mechanical systems, and recent exterior upgrades such as new soffit, fascia, and gutters (2026).
Bird Key is known for its central location between downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle, offering residents convenient access to waterfront dining, boutique shopping, and cultural venues. Just minutes away, Lido Beach and Longboat Key provide some of the region’s most celebrated Gulf-front shorelines, while nearby marinas and yacht clubs complement the boating lifestyle that defines this exceptional community....
