This is the home you have been waiting for. When we asked the Seller, what makes you love the property? Here is their reply: "It's greatest virtue is that you can make it whatever you want. It feels very private with an intimate and broad connection to the bay and its wildlife. It feels unspoiled. But at the same time, downtown Sarasota and urban living are strongly present in the view and accessible within minutes. It's the kind of place you can define your own lifestyle. Exclusive privacy and very high end if you want, or intimately communing with nature in the form of kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding or fishing, even bird watching. Holiday fireworks are beautiful, fabulous restaurants are nearby, and yet it's as private as a short street in a small town. It's heaven." This is a rare opportunity to own something special. Located in the El Conquistador / IMG academy area, in a lovely neighborhood. Just a short drive to the beach, downtown, SRQ International Airport, shopping & dining. The home has been extensively renovated, and very gently occupied. The feeling is relaxing and tranquil. The layout offers spacious bedrooms, an amazing great room with high ceilings and a wall of sliding glass doors, a huge lower level family room and bonus rooms. Spectacular views to the south and west of Sarasota Bay and beyond including downtown Sarasota, Ringling Bridge, Longboat Key & parts of Anna Maria Island. No HOA or CDD. Please enjoy the walkthrough tour and video fly-over. Floor-plan, survey and elevation certificate available. Water depth is not suitable for boating. Furnishings negotiable.
