Opportunities abound to enjoy Lagoon Living in the exclusive Sanderling Club community. This 1 + acre site offers both a charming 1949, 2400 sq ft pool home that has been updated over the last ten years from the days when south Siesta Key was a bohemian enclave, and/or the opportunity to plan and build an estate retreat. The 50 plus acre waters of the lagoon and lush tropical landscaping blends seamlessly with the relaxed island lifestyle, setting the tone for what may evolve with either opportunity. Entering through the private gate you will be embraced by stands of pine trees and tropical flora. The property has 150 feet of private quiet Lagoon frontage encouraging an active lifestyle with kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing and sailing on the engine free waters filled with wildlife. The existing home is as close to the lagoon as was allowed in 1949 and is surrounded by a recently built spacious waterfront deck, and side patios. Exuding character, the large foyer sets the tone for the interior of the property, with an abundance of natural light through the sliding doors and skylight. The spacious living area features a vaulted ceiling and a cozy fireplace flanked by built-in shelving. Flowing into the dining room, passing a wet bar, you will be mesmerized by the wall of sliding glass doors overlooking the deck and lagoon. The updated kitchen boasts high end Campbell cabinetry, stainless appliances, open shelving, granite countertops and a sliding glass door bringing in natural light and leading to the front courtyard. The most magical of rooms is the oversized sunroom featuring full walls of windows that bring the outdoors in. The split bedroom layout ensures privacy. Double door access to the master suite with sliding glass doors to a patio area and two pocket doors creating his-and-her bathroom setups with separate vanities, separate makeup area, large walk-in shower, soaking tub, and two walk-in closets. The spacious secondary bedroom and bathroom are located on the opposite side of the home. Facing westerly, you will have magnificent sunsets to help wind down your day with a glass of wine and dine alfresco under the twinkling lights and stars reflecting in the lagoon. You will enjoy the warm weather day or night especially when enjoying the large private swimming pool.
