Property Description
Set on a 0.34-acre lot with over 100 feet of direct saltwater canal frontage, the property provides sailboat depth-water access plus a large private dock equipped with electric and water, and has been upgraded with TWO Boat lifts: a 40,000lb lift and an additional 10,000K lift, making it an outstanding choice for boating enthusiasts. Enjoy serene views of the wide canal with deep water access to the Intracoastal Waterway from your own backyard.
Inside, the home welcomes you with an open, light-filled layout enhanced by tray ceilings, crown molding, granite counters, walk-in closets, and a spacious primary suite on the main floor. The gourmet kitchen, remodeled in 2024, features Thermador™ appliances, a walk-in pantry, a gas cooktop, range hood, dishwasher, refrigerator, and built-in island seating, flowing seamlessly into the living and dining areas — ideal for everyday living or entertaining.
All three guest bedrooms are located on the main level, each offering generous dimensions and built-in closets, with Bedroom 2 featuring an en-suite bath. An oversized second-floor bonus space provides flexibility for a game room, media room, office, or guest retreat and includes a terrace, a powder room, a wet bar and a beverage refrigerator for ease of entertaining.
The outdoor living space is exceptional: the private screened area hosts the heated pool and in-ground spa, both resurfaced in 2023, expansive covered lanai with new travertine, outdoor kitchen, balcony, fenced yard, and thoughtful exterior details such as French doors, lighting, rain gutters, and sliding glass doors. Whether relaxing or hosting, this home's outdoor spaces offer year-round enjoyment.
For added peace of mind, the home is elevated to nearly 12 feet — well above FEMA flood plain requirements. A host of thoughtful upgrades further protect and elevate your lifestyle: new hurricane-grade front entry doors (2024), a fully redone 100.7-foot seawall (2015), two 5-ton A/C units (2026 & 2024, each with a transferable 10-year warranty), and fresh interior and exterior paint (2024). The home is also equipped with gas, and a dedicated 45-gallon water heater for the primary suite. Tile roof and block/stucco construction ensure lasting durability. To top it all off, storage is never a concern — enjoy an attached 2-car garage plus an additional oversized 1-car garage, perfect for a third vehicle or extra storage for your water toys!
Nestled within the desirable Southpointe Shores community, this home benefits from top-rated school zones and a serene, upscale waterfront atmosphere. The neighborhood's private boat ramp, available for a minimal annual fee, enhances its appeal for boating enthusiasts. Perfectly situated close to Sarasota's premier shopping, dining, beaches, and marinas, the property still offers the tranquility, water access, and elevated coastal living that define a true retreat.
