Property Description

Welcome to your future oasis on the prestigious Bird Key! This charming Key West-style house sits on one of the largest lots on the island, offering ample space to craft your private sanctuary with a unique blend of original 1985 features and modern updates, exuding a vibrant personality that's both timeless and contemporary. The 3,336-square-foot residence boasts four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, presenting a perfect size for comfortable living while remaining effortlessly manageable. As you approach the property, please note its lovely façade—a pristine pale green and white exterior with a metal roof framed by towering palm trees. The well-manicured lawns and lush landscaping create a private tropical haven, indicative of the island's luxurious and tranquil lifestyle. With stately columns and expansive balconies, the architectural design promises a classic sophistication. The interior is awash with natural light, high ceilings, and refined finishes. The lush landscaping surrounding the circular driveway creates a comforting sense of privacy. The renovated kitchen blends original features with modern amenities, including stainless steel appliances, stone counters, and solid wood cabinets. The oversized primary bedroom boasts an ensuite bath and two large walk-in closets. Step onto the covered lanai flooded with light. Beyond the screened pool lies a rare find on Bird Key—a lush green lawn with tropical fruit trees. The generous lot allows for a yard wrapping around the side and back of the home, offering a buffer from neighboring homes. Residents can enjoy boating, tennis, waterfront dining, golf, and a diverse social calendar, including food and wine events, athletics, social gatherings, intellectual series, and holiday celebrations at the Bird Key Yacht Club. The island lies perfectly positioned between the cultural offerings of Downtown Sarasota and the shopping and dining delights of St. Armands Circle. Just a short distance away awaits the ever-popular Lido Beach, completing the picture of a life well-lived. This treasured property offers a serene retreat and a connection to the bustling outside world for discerning residents who appreciate Florida living at its finest.
