Description

UNFURNISHED ANNUAL OR LONGER LEASE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY - Beyond the gates of Bird Key, in one of Sarasota's most coveted island enclaves, this refined three-bedroom, three-bath residence with private office is gracefully positioned on nearly one-third of an acre. Set between the cosmopolitan charm of St. Armands Circle and the cultural vibrancy of downtown Sarasota, the home offers effortless access to Lido Beach, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, and SRQ airport-an address defined by both prestige and convenience. Designed for elegant everyday living and seamless entertaining, the thoughtfully conceived floor plan unfolds with light-filled interiors and refined architectural details. Expansive sliding glass doors extend the main living and dining areas to the resort-style pool terrace, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor experience. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, appointed with an oversized center island, induction cooktop, stainless steel appliances, custom wood cabinetry, a secondary prep sink, and a dedicated bar area-an ideal backdrop for intimate gatherings or larger soir?es. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, offering direct access to the pool, a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub and separate shower, and an exceptional collection of closets including a walk-in dressing space and additional double closets. Two distinct guest suites provide comfort and privacy: one featuring custom built-ins with a concealed Murphy bed and French doors to the pool, the other distinguished by cathedral ceilings, an en-suite bath, and its own French doors opening to a serene paver patio. A split-bedroom configuration enhances privacy, while a beautifully appointed office or den with pocket doors and custom shelving offers versatility for remote work or quiet retreat. Outdoors, a majestic illuminated banyan tree anchors the lushly landscaped grounds, creating an enchanting focal point by evening. The fenced yard ensures privacy and tranquility, while the newly rescreened pool enclosure invites year-round enjoyment. Recent enhancements include impact windows and doors, a tile roof (2013), fresh interior and exterior paint, crown molding, plantation shutters, and integrated smart home technology-delivering both timeless style and modern sophistication. Optional membership to the Bird Key Yacht Club offers access to marina slips, tennis, fitness, swimming, and a vibrant social calendar, with a new clubhouse and waterfront dining experience anticipated in 2026. This is more than a residence-it is an invitation to embrace the Bird Key lifestyle, where island serenity meets world-class amenities in the heart of Sarasota.
