Thoughtfully constructed on pilings with storm-conscious design, the home blends timeless island style with peace of mind. The ground level provides covered parking for multiple vehicles, abundant storage, and space for kayaks, paddleboards, and beach gear. An elevator shaft is already in place for future installation, and pool plans are available. With deeded beach access just steps away and a private dock at your back door, this is one of the few properties on Siesta Key where you can enjoy the beach in front and your boat behind. Beach, boating, privacy, and views converge in this exceptional offering—capturing the essence of Gulf-to-Bay living on Siesta Key. From morning experiences along the shoreline to breathtaking sunsets over the Gulf, every day on Siesta Key feels like a vacation. And when you're ready to explore beyond the island, downtown Sarasota is just a short drive away, offering world-class dining, arts and culture, including the Ringling Museum, Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, and St. Armands Circle.

The RSF Districts permit single-family residential densities, which may take the form of single-family detached or cluster subdivisions; Cluster subdivisions may include lot line, traditional, patio, villa, atrium, duplex, or townhouse units. The nature of the use of property is the same in all RSF Districts, with variation among the RSF-1, RSF-2, RSF-3 and RSF-4 Districts in the requirements for density, lot area and width, and yards; A limited number of nonresidential uses are allowed, subject to the restrictions and requirements necessary to preserve and protect the single-family residential character of the neighborhood; The RSF Districts are generally used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as Low Density, Moderate Density and Medium Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map and on the Barrier Islands where the application of the district would not increase the density of development or hamper hurricane evacuation planning and disaster mitigation efforts. Locations on the Barrier Islands that have existing RSF zoning are acknowledged, and are considered to be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. The RSF-4 District is also used to implement the Comprehensive Plan in the areas shown as Office/Multifamily Residential Area and Corridor on the Future Land Use; The RSF-4 District, while not a primary implementing district, may also be allowed in Regional, Community, Village I, Village II, and Neighborhood Commercial Centers. Appropriate densities within the Low; Moderate or Medium Density Residential areas shall be guided by the density ranges as outlined in Future Land Use Policy 1.1.1, Objective 2.3, and Policy 2.3.1 of the Comprehensive Plan; These densities shall also be determined, in part, by the land use designations and developed residential areas surrounding the parcel.
