Perfectly positioned along a quiet residential canal just moments from the shops and restaurants of Siesta Village and a short stroll to world-famous Siesta Beach, this extensively renovated coastal retreat offers the ideal blend of island charm, modern updates, and exceptional value. Built in 1971 and thoughtfully reimagined in 2025, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence spans 1,730 square feet and showcases timeless finishes designed for effortless Florida living. From the moment you arrive, tropical landscaping and a welcoming entry set the tone. Natural light fills the expansive living space, where pocket sliding glass doors fully open to the screened lanai, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow and picturesque views of the pool and canal beyond. The open dining area blends beautifully into the exquisitely updated kitchen, anchored by a striking 9-foot center island with counter-height seating, soft-close cabinetry, undercabinet lighting, terrazzo-inspired recycled glass countertops, designer tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. The serene primary suite opens directly to the lanai and features a custom walk-in closet and an elegantly appointed en-suite bath with granite-topped vanity and beautifully tiled walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms offer walk-in closets, while the guest bath has been thoughtfully updated with quartz vanity and sleek tile finishes. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a heated pool featuring a seating ledge and newer heater, all set within a fully fenced backyard overlooking the tranquil canal. The covered lanai includes a motorized screen, enhancing comfort and year-round enjoyment. Notable improvements include impact-rated windows and doors, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, updated bathrooms, house replumbed in 2025, attic ductwork and insulation replaced, and a completely replaced and repoured seawall in 2020. An attached one-car garage with epoxy flooring and integrated storage adds functionality.
