Step through the grand, gated entrance of 548 Siesta Drive and be greeted by a luxurious estate on Florida's breathtaking Siesta Key. This 4399 square foot waterfront haven exudes elegance from the very curb. As you pass through the wrought iron gate the home stands proudly on this .38 acre property amidst lush tropical landscaping and a custom brick paver driveway that can accommodate multiple cars. Step inside through the solid double doors and prepare to be dazzled. A grand foyer with gleaming porcelain tile floors sets the stage, plantation shutters filtering in warm sunlight. Coffered ceilings soar overhead, adorned with elegant chandeliers and recessed lighting that bathes the space in a warm glow. Fourteen-foot-high ceilings are further emphasized by grand columns that line the entryway and flow into the formal dining area. The back wall of the living area is a masterpiece of light and openness. Andersen sliding glass doors stretch from end to end, revealing a breathtaking vista of the pool, entertainment space, and the shimmering waterway beyond. Imagine hosting unforgettable gatherings for your family and friends. Providing ample space guests, the home features three comfortable bedrooms, each with a luxurious touch and feel. An additional loft space offers versatility, perfect for a home office, media room, or extra sleeping quarters. The 3.5 bathrooms are tastefully designed with beautiful bright cabinetry, lighting and gold fixtures. The heart of the home is a bright kitchen, boasting ample storage in stylish Shaker-style cabinetry. A center island with granite countertops and vegetable sink provides the perfect spot for meal prep, while expansive windows ensure every seat at the breakfast table enjoys the stunning lanai, pool and water views. The luxurious feel extends to the private quarters. Large bedrooms offer spacious en suite baths, custom closets, high ceilings adorned with crown molding, and morning porch for relaxing creating a sense of spacious comfort. The elegant primary bathroom is a spa-like retreat, featuring multiple vanities, a dedicated makeup vanity, gold fixtures, soaking tub with separate shower, water closet, and gleaming porcelain tile flooring. The garage/man cave is a luxury car owners dream featuring marble floors, cabinetry, air conditioning and flat screen television. But the true star of the show unfolds behind the house. Imagine a sparkling oasis – a gorgeous open pool surrounded by swaying palm trees, a paver deck and a privacy wall, creating a secluded haven for relaxation. The 108 linear foot water frontage includes a double-dock with two boat lifts and a jet ski lift. The canal ends in a cul-de-sac at this point so you can enjoy access to the Gulf but not a lot of boat traffic behind your home. This isn't just a house; it's a luxurious waterfront sanctuary designed for grand living and unforgettable memories. From the tropical landscaping and inviting pool to the expansive living areas and opulent bathrooms, 548 Siesta Drive promises an unparalleled Siesta Key experience. Siesta Key itself is a paradise, renowned for its sugar-whit sand beach, consistently rated among the nation's finest. Beyond the beach, Siesta Village pulsates with energy, offering a delightful mix of shops, restaurants, and nightlife. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area's parks or explore the hidden coves accessible by kayak or boat. Siesta Key truly delivers an idyllic Florida lifestyle.
