Gorgeous contemporary upgrades adorn the interior and exterior of this three-bedroom waterfront home. Just three homes in from Sarasota’s open bay, this residence is a boater’s paradise, offering more than 100’ of sailboat-deep water frontage, newly-constructed boat dock spanning 60’ with shore power and water connections and a kayak landing. A wonderful move-in ready space, this home was completely redone and partially rebuilt in 2013. Lush, manicured landscaping with newer irrigation and lighting, as well as a pavered circular drive welcomes you. The exterior façade was redesigned with stone steps that lead up to a new gazebo covered front porch featuring charming sights of abundant gardens and impact glass French door entry. The modern clean lines of the interior are perfectly complemented by beautiful Porcelain tile flooring throughout, neutral decor, custom blinds, plus storm-impact windows and sliders that add plenty of sunshine to each room. The contemporary layout offers living/dining room with glass walls that open to a new Florida room (that added 500 SF of living space) overlooking the new PebbleTec heated swimming pool and peaceful waters beyond. The designer chef’s kitchen features cooking peninsula with extended breakfast bar, dry bar area and Miele appliances, some are hidden with cabinetry covers to enhance the trendy ambiance. Three bedrooms are arranged in a split plan, with the master suite in a private spot on the east side and two guest bedrooms sharing a bathroom to the west.
