Description

Bring your yacht. This is Sarasota waterfront living at its most refined. First time on the market, this custom-built John Cannon estate is perfectly positioned within Southbay Yacht & Racquet Club-one of Sarasota's most exclusive waterfront communities offering a true private yacht club lifestyle within the neighborhood. With a deep-water marina reserved for residents, accommodating vessels up to 55 feet, and direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf of Mexico, this is a setting designed for those who expect seamless access to life on the water. Privately situated on a homesite surrounded by water on two sides, the property offers a rare level of exposure and presence. From your outdoor living spaces, the backdrop is ever-changing-boats moving through the marina, dolphins just beyond your dock, and unobstructed sunsets that define the end of each day. Inside, the residence is a study in craftsmanship and comfort, where rich wood detailing carries throughout-from the staircase to the ceilings in the main living areas and extending into the outdoor spaces-creating a warm, architectural continuity rarely seen. Walls of impact-rated windows and doors bring in natural light while offering peace of mind, while expansive sliders pocket away completely-creating a perfect expression of Florida living with seamless indoor-outdoor flow and unobstructed sunset views across the bay. The kitchen is both striking and highly functional, appointed with Wolf and Miele appliances, dual Sub-Zero refrigerators, a warming drawer, two sinks, and a concealed pantry, all complemented by generous storage and oversized closets throughout the home. A fireplace anchors the main living space, adding warmth and ambiance. Designed for real life as beautifully as it is for entertaining, the home also features a thoughtfully designed mudroom off the garage entry, creating an organized and functional transition into the home. Outdoor living is equally elevated and designed for year-round enjoyment. Electronic roll-down screens allow you to fully enjoy the outdoor kitchen, complete with a propane grill and hood, sink, and composite cabinetry. Just beyond, a propane-fed fire pit creates the perfect setting for evenings by the pool. The separate air-conditioned poolside cabana offers stunning bayfront views and is equipped with its own refrigerator and ice maker-ideal for entertaining or creating a private retreat for guests. The floor plan is thoughtfully designed, offering 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a private office, upstairs lounge, and expansive laundry room-balancing everyday livability with elevated design. For collectors and enthusiasts, the 5-car garage with 9,000 lb lift provides exceptional capacity, while the 110-foot private dock with jet ski lift delivers a level of waterfront utility that is increasingly rare. Southbay Yacht & Racquet Club offers a curated lifestyle with a private marina, clubhouse, fitness center, heated pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and walking trails-all within minutes of Casey Key, where pristine beaches, waterfront dining, and relaxed coastal elegance define the surrounding area. This is a property that stands apart. Compare it to anything else on the market and the value is clear. Priced to sell, with a motivated seller.
