No need to build! Imagine waking up each day in this custom waterfront home built by John Cannon just .5 mile to the powdery white sands of world-famous Siesta Beach and the Gulf of Mexico. Located on a deep sailboat water bayou direct to the Intracoastal Waterway in a tree-canopied community. From the front porch enter the stunning open floor plan with soaring ceilings, natural light and water views from nearly every room; no detail was overlooked. Featuring a great room with a dual fuel fireplace, exquisite millwork and separate dining room, flowing to the spectacular island kitchen with a breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, serving valet with wine refrigerator, custom cabinets, countertops and stainless appliances, including a Wolf gas range and pot filler. Just off the kitchen is a convenient mud (or sand) room with built-in storage and a separate front entrance. Retreat to the luxurious master suite which also overlooks the pool and waterway. Two additional bedrooms, an office with wood floors, and laundry room complete this floor. The large upstairs bonus room is perfect as an additional bedroom, family or media room, with an adjoining half bath and large storage closet. Open the glass sliders to the covered lanai – a fabulous space in which to relax and entertain year-round with a sparkling heated pool, spa and outdoor kitchen. Live the Siesta Key life; fish from your dock, launch paddleboards or kayaks or dock your sailboat. Oversized 3-car garage. 15 minutes to downtown Sarasota's urban activities.
