Welcome to a rare blend of tropical island stillness and vibrant waterfront living on Siesta Key. Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this impeccably maintained Lee Wetherington home feels fresh and inviting, with an instantly welcoming atmosphere and warm wood floors that enhance every room.
Thoughtfully designed in timeless Key West style, the home sits along a navigable canal with your own private dock and boat lift—offering quick access to the bay and Gulf, spontaneous sunset cruises, and the kind of daily beauty only waterfront living can provide. Enjoy abundant opportunities for boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water.
Built in 2015 but presenting like a newer home, it’s been lovingly cared for and shows beautifully. The elevated construction (main living at 10.5 feet above sea level) offers peace of mind and security.
Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings and walls of windows bring in natural light and warmth. The open-concept floor plan flows effortlessly from the chef’s kitchen to the spa-inspired primary suite to private guest rooms with en suite baths, welcoming visitors with comfort and style.
Step outside to your heated saltwater pool, spa, and summer kitchen, all designed for easy entertaining. The fenced yard is perfect for dogs, and the location is unbeatable: walkable to the beach, restaurants, shops, and the heart of world-famous Siesta Key Village—yet tucked away enough to feel like a private retreat.
A spacious 3-car garage with custom built-ins adds functionality to beauty. Hurricane-rated windows, brand-new HVAC, fresh paint throughout, and a sense of flow and light throughout complete the home. Enjoy the flexibility of no HOA and the freedom to create a home that reflects your personality—surrounded by Siesta Key charm and individuality. The quiet, no-outlet neighborhood invites peaceful walks and bike rides, with minimal traffic and a relaxed, neighborly atmosphere.
This home is more than a place to live—it offers a warm, relaxed ambiance, perfect for settling in, unwinding, and enjoying the rhythm and excitement of life on world-famous Siesta Key.
