A diamond in the rough, Florida charm exudes in this Siesta Key canal front home. Sitting on a larger than average corner lot and offering lots of mature foliage, lychee and coconut trees, you'll enjoy relaxing in your open pool as you soak up the rays and enjoy the birds and other wildlife around you. 103 feet of water frontage, much of which is covered with trimmable mangroves and includes a natural seawall, so there's no need to maintain or pay for an expensive man-made seawall here! A bit of an irregular shaped lot line as well, with 155 feet deep; lots of room to play, grow, tear down or add on! A Key West feeling design, complete with metal roof, this 3 bed, 3 bath turnkey furnished property offers open living upstairs with a livable space downstairs. Easy living with great room floor plan upstairs including: vaulted ceilings, 2 sets of French doors that open up to your oversized balcony overlooking the water front and backyard, bamboo flooring, master bedroom with ensuite bath plus guest bedroom and full bathroom. Downstairs could be utilized as a rental, mother in-law space, game room or other creative space since there is a separate entry from the main level. We are considering this to be the home's 3rd bedroom. It features tile flooring, a full bath, Murphy bed and a path out to the pool and canal. Outside you'll get to enjoy lots of privacy, large solar heated Pebble Tec resurfaced {2003} pool, outdoor shower and dock. Access both the Bay and Gulf of Mexico from your boat dock via the intercoastal waterway. Approximately 6 feet deep at the dock, the owner used to have a 17ft boat. To the other side, you'll also notice a kayak launch! Other updates include HVAC systems {2009 & 2013}, new washing machine, metal roof, and Hardie Plank siding. Oh and this is neither in an HOA nor a CDD community which means no fees! Within biking distance to both the Siesta Key Village and world famous Siesta Key Beach. An easy, beautiful tree lined walk to the Out of Door Academy {ODA}, a highly sought after private day school for grades PreK-12th. Siesta Key offers something for all ages and downtown Sarasota even more, from exquisite to very casual in/outdoor dining options, boutique shopping, opera, ballet, open farmers' markets and festivals, and a myriad of other options. Sarasota can be enjoyed by all ages, from those who like to stay active in the community, or the recluse who simply wants to enjoy nature and our area wildlife.
