Description

Welcome to one of the premier locations on Manasota Key, where nearly an acre of bayfront delivers picturesque views across the protected waters of Lemon Bay. A palm-lined private drive sets the tone for this custom-built 4-bedroom, 4-bath residence, designed to capture light and water from every angle. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and walls of glass fill the open main level with natural light. The living room, dining area, and chef's kitchen — featuring premium appliances, natural quartzite countertops, and direct bay views — flow together and open onto a full-width screened balcony overlooking the pool, dock, and bay. The primary suite offers its own screened porch with panoramic vistas, plus a spa-like bath with dual vanities and an oversized walk-in shower. A flexible main-level guest room works equally well as an office or studio, while two upstairs suites with dormer windows and window-seat alcoves give family and guests private retreats. Outside is pure resort living: a 40+ foot heated pool with full bath and outdoor shower, a brand-new deep-water dock (2025), private workshop, and a sandy shoreline perfect for kayaks and paddleboards. An elevator (2023) provides seamless access from the oversized 4-car garage — with room for boats, an RV, or toys — to the main living level. Best of all, deeded beach access puts the Gulf's sugar-sand shoreline just steps away. Dolphins, manatees, and wading birds are daily visitors on this rare bay-to-Gulf property — a private slice of Manasota Key where waterfront living is at its finest.
