Property Description
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. LIVE IN PARADISE: Siesta Key Private Residence
Welcome to your own slice of paradise — an elevated, Key West–style home where mornings begin with dolphin sightings and evenings end in golden Gulf Coast sunsets. Custom-built in 2015 by Lee Wetherington and enhanced with over $500K in upgrades, this beautifully updated, turnkey residence blends modern comfort with island elegance.
WIDE CANAL + PRIME SIESTA KEY LOCATION
Tucked at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac in highly desirable Sara Sands, this home sits along a wide canal with access to the Gulf of Mexico, offering scenic water views and peaceful surroundings. Just a short bike or golf cart ride to Siesta Beach—ranked #1 in the U.S. and #3 globally in 2025—and all the charm of Siesta Village, the location offers both privacy and connection to island life. Whether strolling to dinner, paddling from your dock, or watching the herons at sunset, this is the Florida lifestyle at its finest.
INSPIRED DESIGN & NATURAL FLOW
Inside, discover 12-ft ceilings, rich wood floors, and an open-concept layout that unites the living, dining, and chef's kitchen—outfitted with Thermador appliances, quartz countertops, and a walk-in pantry. The interiors invite connection and retreat, perfect for both casual mornings and elegant entertaining.
PRIMARY SUITE RETREAT + PRIVATE GUEST SPACES
The main-level primary suite offers spa-like serenity, a spacious walk-in closet, and the convenience of en suite laundry, making everyday living effortless. Two upstairs guest suites with ensuite baths ensure comfort and privacy for visitors.
INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING AT ITS BEST
Glass doors open to a covered lanai, heated saltwater pool and spa, and an outdoor kitchen with built-in grill and prep sink. Your private dock with 13,000 pound boat lift and fish-cleaning station provides a gateway to the Intracoastal and Gulf—ideal for boaters and water lovers alike.
PEACE OF MIND & PRACTICAL LUXURY
Hurricane-rated windows, new HVAC, fresh interior paint, and 10.5-ft elevated construction ensure durability and ease. A 3-car split garage provides room for hobbies, storage, or a golf cart. With no HOA, you'll enjoy freedom to live your way.
ISLAND LIVING WITHOUT COMPROMISE
For those seeking the ease of island life with more space, more privacy, and the freedom to live fully—this residence offers the best of both worlds.
Some homes provide shelter. This one inspires paradise.
