Open the gate and arrive at your private waterfront retreat on Bay Shore Road, where every day revolves around the water. Step into your backyard and onto your dock, complete with a dedicated jet ski and kayak lift platform (can be converted easily to boat lift), designed for effortless access and enjoyment. Spend your days by the pool and your evenings taking in sunset views over the bay from the pool deck or the large master bedroom balcony. This is waterfront living that feels both private and effortless. The home has been thoughtfully upgraded to enhance both comfort and resilience, featuring impact glass windows and doors for added protection during storms. Notably, the house DID NOT EXPERIENCE FLOODING during recent major hurricanes. Recent improvements include brand new sand finish stucco, new seawall, new dock with jet ski and kayak lift platform, new pool heater, Tesla charger, and two new gate motors. An impact-rated garage door is currently being installed. Set behind a private gate and located just minutes from downtown Sarasota, dining, and shopping, this property offers a rare combination of lifestyle, upgrades, and location.
