Welcome to your Siesta Key waterfront retreat-radiant with natural light and perfectly positioned on the Grand Canal. Elevated for peace of mind and crafted for coastal living, this three-story, 3-bedroom home with den/guest room celebrates time on the water from the moment you arrive. The main level opens to a large canal-view balcony and features a bright living room with a 22 ft ceiling, a defined dining area, and a chef's oasis kitchen anchored by a center island-offering abundant storage, wood cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and expansive prep surfaces for effortless entertaining. Upstairs, the private primary suite spans the top floor with an adjacent office, a generous walk-in closet, and a spacious bathroom with dual sinks, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Sliders open to your own third-floor balcony with beautiful canal views. The ground level offers a 2-car garage plus 700 sq ft of air-conditioned flex space (not included in main living area) with sliders to the pool and boat dock-ideal for a gym, rec lounge, or entertaining space. A private elevator connects all three levels-from the garage to the main living space and top-floor suite. Outside is a boater's dream: deep-water frontage on the Grand Canal with quick access to Roberts Bay, Sarasota Bay, and the Gulf; composite decking, a 10,000-lb lift, and a seawall with turn-backs (all new as of Nov 2021). A clever two-level dock allows easy tide-height boarding and effortless kayak launches. This elevated Grand Canal home is perfect for boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, and daily dolphin/manatee watching. Lush, mature landscaping (on an irrigation well) wraps the property in privacy. All a short bike ride or walk to Siesta Key Village dining/shopping and world-famous Siesta Beach.
