Description of Property

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Now offered at $3,380,000, this custom-designed Siesta Key waterfront home presents a rare opportunity to live in a place that feels like a year-round vacation — now available at an improved price. Built in 2015 by Lee Wetherington and maintained with exceptional care, the home blends timeless Key West design with modern comfort and an unbeatable island location, just moments from Siesta Key Beach and Village. Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, the setting offers a sense of calm the moment you arrive. Inside, rich wood floors, soaring 12-foot cathedral ceilings, and an abundance of natural light create an inviting atmosphere that feels both elegant and relaxed. An open floor plan connects the living room, dining space, and kitchen — designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The thoughtfully designed chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a large walk-in pantry. Whether you’re preparing dinner with friends or simply sipping coffee in the morning sun, the space invites connection and ease. The spa-like primary suite is located on the main level, offering privacy and convenience, while two additional ensuite guest rooms provide comfort and space for visiting loved ones. Step outside and you’ll understand why this property is so special. A heated saltwater pool and spa, full summer kitchen, and covered patio overlook a wide canal with a private dock, boat lift, new seawall, and fish cleaning station. This is a true boater’s paradise — ideal for paddleboarding before breakfast or cruising out at sunset. The fully fenced backyard is perfect for pets, play, or simply relaxing in the shade of the palms. Additional highlights include hurricane-rated impact windows, elevated construction (main living at 10.5 feet above sea level), new HVAC, fresh interior paint, and a spacious 3-car garage with a split configuration ideal for hobbies or a specialty vehicle. With no HOA and a warm neighborhood feel, the property offers not only beauty and functionality — but freedom and peace of mind. This home isn’t just a place to live. It’s a chance to slow down, breathe in the salt air, and truly enjoy your surroundings. Located just a short walk from Siesta Key Beach — named the #1 beach in the U.S. and #3 in the world in 2025 — the home offers the best of the island lifestyle. Stroll to the beach for sunset, walk to dinner in the Village, or meet friends for a casual happy hour. Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence or a serene coastal retreat, this is the one that will make you feel at home the moment you step inside. Opportunities like this are rare.
