Virtually Staged. Coastal Elegance on Phillippi Creek! Custom-built by Coachman Homes, this exceptional waterfront residence blends timeless architecture, privacy, and an ideal Sarasota location. Set within an intimate gated enclave of just nine homes, the property spans nearly three-quarters of an acre and offers over 190 feet of private frontage on the scenic Phillippi Creek—an idyllic backdrop for daily living and entertaining. Notably, the house structure has had no water intrusion from storms/hurricanes during the owners’ tenure. Inside, approximately 3,500 square feet of living space unfolds in an open, light-filled layout with four bedrooms, a family room, and a dedicated office. A columned front porch and double-door entry lead into a grand living room featuring vaulted ceilings, a cultured stone fireplace, and a wall of glass doors that open to the screened lanai and pool. The adjacent dining room creates an elegant setting for gatherings, while the open-concept kitchen connects seamlessly to the family and casual dining areas—each overlooking the outdoor living space. The chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, granite countertops, tile backsplash, breakfast bar, and stainless-steel appliances. A split-bedroom plan ensures privacy. The primary suite is a serene retreat with French doors to the deck, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-style bathroom complete with dual vanities, walk-in shower, soaking tub, and private water closet. A flexible office adjoins the suite, ideal for working from home or quiet reading. On the opposite wing, three guest bedrooms share two full baths, offering comfort for family and visitors alike. Additional features include Lauzon hardwood floors throughout, recessed lighting, plantation blinds, hurricane shutters, two-zone A/C, re-screened pool cage (2024), a spacious laundry with newer washer and dryer, and a three-car garage with abundant storage. Outdoor living takes full advantage of Sarasota’s year-round sunshine. A large, screened lanai with swimming pool, spa, and waterfall fountain invites relaxation, while the full-length covered deck—with outdoor kitchen—encourages al fresco dining. Lush tropical landscaping guarantees privacy, and the large fenced portion of the backyard offers space for pets and play. A brick walkway leads to the private dock, equipped with water and electric. With only two bridges to Roberts Bay, boaters enjoy quick access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf of Mexico. This residence combines the serenity of a secluded estate with unmatched convenience—just minutes to Siesta Key Beach, Downtown Sarasota, and The Bay Park. Fine dining, boutique shopping, cultural venues, and waterfront recreation are all within easy reach. In this rare nine-home community, you’ll experience the perfect balance of coastal tranquility and city sophistication—a true Sarasota lifestyle.
