Welcome to a home where mornings begin with dolphin sightings and evenings unfold with golden sunsets. Built in 2015 by acclaimed builder Lee Wetherington, this custom Key West–style private residence offers more than luxury—it offers connection, serenity, and coastal ease.

A SERENE ISLAND SETTING

Tucked at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac, this home offers privacy just moments from world-renowned Siesta Key Beach (ranked #1 in the U.S. and #3 globally in 2025) and the vibrant village with its dining, shops, and charm. Elevated and thoughtfully designed, it provides calm while keeping you close to the best of island living.

INSPIRED DESIGN, NATURAL ELEGANCE

Step inside to discover soaring 12-foot ceilings, rich wood floors, and interiors that invite both connection and retreat. The open-concept layout unites living, dining, and kitchen spaces, centered around a recently updated chef’s kitchen with Thermador appliances, quartz countertops, and a walk-in pantry—perfect for casual mornings or elegant dinner parties.

PRIVATE PRIMARY SUITE

The main-level primary suite is thoughtfully positioned for peace and renewal. Spa-like finishes, generous space, and tranquil surroundings make it a true personal hideaway. Two additional guest suites, each with private ensuite baths, ensure comfort and privacy for visiting family and friends.

SEAMLESS INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING

Glass doors open to a covered lanai, heated saltwater pool and spa, and a full outdoor kitchen with built-in grill and prep sink—an entertainer’s dream and personal oasis. The dock with boat lift and fish-cleaning station invites spontaneous adventures. Paddleboard the canal, bike the island, or stroll to the beach—this home makes it effortless to embrace the Florida lifestyle.

QUALITY & COMFORT, BUILT IN

Hurricane-rated windows, elevated construction (main living at 10.5 feet), new HVAC, and fresh interior paint provide lasting peace of mind. The 3-car split garage offers space for vehicles, hobbies, or storage, while no HOA means freedom to make it your own.
