SANCTUARY BY THE SEA: A RARE SIESTA KEY WATERFRONT RETREAT Now Offered at $3,290,000 | Exceptional Value on Sought-After Siesta Key Welcome to a home where mornings begin with dolphin sightings and evenings unfold with golden sunsets. Built in 2015 by acclaimed builder Lee Wetherington, this custom Key West–style retreat offers more than luxury—it offers a sanctuary for connection, serenity, and coastal living at its finest. A SERENE ISLAND RETREAT Tucked at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac, this home enjoys rare privacy just moments from world-renowned Siesta Key Beach (ranked #1 in the U.S. and #3 globally in 2025) and the lively village with its dining, shops, and charm. Its elevated position and thoughtful design create a sense of peace while keeping you close to the best of island life. INSPIRED DESIGN, NATURAL ELEGANCE Step inside to discover soaring 12-foot ceilings, rich wood floors, and interiors that invite both connection and retreat. The open-concept layout unites living, dining, and kitchen spaces, centered around a recently updated chef’s kitchen with Thermador appliances, quartz countertops, and a walk-in pantry—perfect for everything from casual breakfasts to unforgettable dinner parties. PRIVATE PRIMARY SUITE The main-level primary suite is thoughtfully separated for privacy and renewal. Spa-like finishes, generous space, and tranquil surroundings make it a true personal haven—an intentional design choice for those who value rest and reflection. Two additional guest suites, each with their own private ensuite bath, provide comfort and privacy for visiting family and friends. SEAMLESS INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING The magic unfolds as glass doors open to a covered lanai, heated saltwater pool and spa, and a full outdoor kitchen with built-in grill and prep sink. This backyard oasis is both an entertainer’s dream and a personal escape. The private dock with boat lift and fish-cleaning station is your gateway to spontaneous boating adventures. Paddleboard the canal, bike the island, or stroll to the beach—this home makes it effortless to embrace the water-loving Florida lifestyle. A fenced yard provides peace of mind for pets and privacy alike. QUALITY & COMFORT, BUILT IN Hurricane-rated windows, elevated construction (main living at 10.5 feet), new HVAC, and fresh interior paint provide lasting peace of mind. The 3-car split garage offers space for vehicles, hobbies, or storage, while no HOA means freedom to make it your own.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
