Nestled along one of the island's most coveted canals, just 15 minutes from the open Gulf and a short distance to Sarasota Bay, this property offers a rare opportunity to create your dream waterfront retreat.

Outside, you'll find a working pool and spa, along with a boat dock and lift (currently in repair), offering direct water access for boating. Additionally, the property includes deeded private beach access, just a 5-minute walk away at the end of Siesta Drive, perfect for enjoying the sun and sand of Siesta Key's pristine shores.
