Description

Stylish, beautifully updated, and move-in ready, this single-story home is ideally situated on a quiet street within the sought-after Bird Key neighborhood, offering an exceptional combination of privacy, comfort, and distinctive design. The standout feature is the exceptionally spacious backyard, where an impressive 30' x 15' heated pool takes center stage, surrounded by an expansive shellstone deck with generous room for lounging, dining, and entertaining. Fully fenced and framed by mature tropical palms and lush landscaping, this secluded setting offers a scale of poolside living rarely found in a home of this size. Enhancing this remarkable setting is the beautifully updated Florida room, providing over 300 square feet of versatile, air-conditioned living space. Expansive impact-rated sliding glass doors open completely to the pool area, allowing the room to function as an extension of the main house or be closed off to create a separate poolside cabana. The result is a striking connection between the home's interior and its impressive outdoor surroundings. Inside, the home offers a thoughtfully designed split-bedroom floor plan, with beautiful bamboo flooring, an inviting family room, and a comfortable, light-filled lounge. The stylish kitchen features a custom-designed Jake Brady concrete countertop, an induction cooktop, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient pass-through window to the Florida room. The primary suite enjoys direct access to the Florida room and includes a remodeled bathroom and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, both with walk-in closets, are located on the opposite side of the home, providing privacy for family and guests. Beautifully proportioned and thoughtfully designed, this home is ideal for those seeking a manageable residence without compromising on style, comfort, or amenities. Significant improvements include impact glass windows, air conditioning (2021), pool resurfacing and a shellstone pool deck (2021), and a water heater (2024). Bird Key offers one of Sarasota's most desirable locations, just minutes from downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, and Lido Beach. Residents also benefit from the nearby Bird Key Yacht Club, currently undergoing a full redevelopment, with reopening anticipated in March 2027 as a premier destination for boating, tennis, and social activities.
