Description

For the first time since 1925, the same Sarasota family is bringing 7535 and 7539 Midnight Pass Road to market, offered together as nearly one acre on Siesta Key. The two parcels total 0.95 acres, with 7535 offering over 100 feet of direct waterfrontage on Little Sarasota Bay, a reinforced concrete seawall, and access to the Intracoastal Waterway. The main home was designed by Jack West, a celebrated architect of the Sarasota School of Architecture. The charming second home on the adjoining parcel was designed by his onetime partner, Elizabeth Boylston, the first woman in Florida elected to the American Institute of Architects. This second residence offers two bedrooms, one bathroom, and 1,016 square feet, in addition to the MLS-listed totals. A detached two-car garage provides additional parking and storage. Walls of sliding glass and graceful midcentury lines open the main house to the garden and the water. Framed by lush tropical greenery, the combined site presents a rare opportunity to create a waterfront compound with a main residence, guest house and gardens. An additional adjacent 0.53-acre lot may also be available for purchase at an additional price, offering an opportunity to expand the property even further. A 2016 dock with a 13,000 lb boat lift provides access to the Intracoastal Waterway, where mornings begin with soft golden light over Little Sarasota Bay. Turtle Beach, Crescent Beach, and the powder-soft white sand of Siesta Beach are minutes away, with Siesta Key Village, downtown Sarasota, and Sarasota Bradenton International Airport all within easy reach. For the buyer who has been waiting for the right piece of Siesta Key, this is it: nearly an acre of land with direct bayfrontage, a seawall, dock and lift already in place, complemented by an architectural legacy and history that cannot be replicated. Create the waterfront home you have always imagined on land that has been cherished by the same family for over a century and is now ready for its next chapter.
