Experience coastal luxury at its finest at 7816 Sanderling Road, an exceptional residence nestled within the prestigious Sanderling Club on Siesta Key. Perfectly positioned in one of Sarasota's most exclusive beachfront communities, this property offers private beach access, unparalleled water views, timeless architecture, and a serene Gulf Coast setting. Set on an expansive 0.8-acre homesite, the residence spans approximately 4,015 square feet and features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Originally built in 1970, the home has an effective year built of 2015, reflecting significant updates and enhancements, including the addition of the entire second story in 2018. Designed to embrace indoor-outdoor living, the home captures beautiful Gulf views while offering spacious living and entertaining areas. Major improvements include a new roof (2021), updated HVAC system (2024), and electrical and plumbing updates completed in 2024. The property also includes a generator for added peace of mind. The pool, rebuilt in 2019, remains in working condition following the hurricane, complementing the lush tropical landscaping and outdoor living spaces. The second story showcases the home's newer construction, while the first floor presents a rare opportunity for customization—allowing a buyer to bring their own vision to life and complete renovations to their exact specifications. This flexibility creates a unique value-add opportunity within a premier location. Just moments from the powdery sands of Siesta Key Beach, this is a rare chance to secure and personalize a luxury coastal retreat in one of Florida's most sought-after beachfront enclaves.
Truly one of the Gulf front jewels of The Sanderling Club! With unparalleled views of the azure blue Gulf from almost every room, this casually elegant beach house was beautifully and tastefully remodeled in 2008 with the addition of new granite and stainless kitchen, travertine floors, new baths, new electrical & plumbing, tile roof, impact windows and doors, generator and much more. Rooms were reconfigured to create open spaces for gracious entertaining. The oversized living and dining room feature higher ceilings, crown molding, recessed lighting, wet bar and built-in storage. A light-filled family room with fireplace adjoins the gourmet kitchen with island. Master and guest rooms are en suite. A beautiful pool (recently re-marcited and new pump) is surrounded by a pavered patio and charming gazebo for outdoor entertaining. The walk-out beach offers protection with a permitted hardened shore. The spacious . 8 acre lot allows for an addition to the existing house or a sizable buildable footprint for new construction. The Sanderling Club is a gated, private Gulf front community of only 100 homes on estate-sized lots. Amenities include 24 hour security, Paul Rudolph-designed cabanas & beach house, 3 tennis courts (one Har-Tru), private beach & a marina with bay access. Nearby is award-winning Siesta Key Beach and Sarasota, with its restaurants, shopping and cultural attractions, including its own opera, ballet company and orchestra.
