Key Facts
Description
Poised on the coveted island of Bird Key, just across the graceful span of the John Ringling Causeway Bridge from downtown Sarasota, this striking Mid-Century modern garden home captures the timeless ease of coastal living. This beautifully designed one-level residence offers three bedrooms, three baths, and 2,676 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space, where clean architectural lines meet warm, inviting finishes. A neutral palette, 18-inch porcelain tile flooring, and dramatic stone accent walls create a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere throughout the open floor plan. Multiple seating areas flow naturally from one space to the next, anchored by a charming wood-burning fireplace—perfect for intimate evenings or lively gatherings. A wall of sliding glass doors dissolves the boundary between indoors and out, opening to a private tropical retreat. The heated pool and expansive screened patio are framed by lush landscaping and a comfortable outdoor seating area designed for effortless entertaining, sunset cocktails, and relaxed Florida afternoons. At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen invites both conversation and culinary creativity. A large island with granite countertops, elegant pendant lighting, stainless steel appliances, and a stylish backsplash makes it equally suited for casual breakfasts or hosting memorable dinners with friends and family. Peace of mind meets modern convenience with hurricane-impact windows and doors throughout the home. Arrival is equally impressive. A circular paver driveway welcomes guests, complemented by beautiful outdoor lighting and a charming courtyard that leads to the front entrance—an inviting prelude to the warmth within. This home is also pet friendly with a fenced back yard area to keep your pooches secure. The neighborhood offers many walking areas and the Bird Key Park, directly across from the Bird Key Guard House entrance, is a wonderful place to enjoy sunset views over Sarasota Bay. Perfectly positioned just moments from the new Bird Key Yacht Club under construction, the boutiques and dining of St. Armands Circle, and the pristine sands of Lido Beach, this residence offers the rare combination of island serenity and vibrant coastal lifestyle. A timeless retreat in one of Sarasota’s most desirable communities—where elegance, comfort, and the gentle Gulf breeze come together beautifully.
