Some homes simply check the boxes. This one changes the way you experience Sarasota. Tucked beneath a breathtaking mature banyan tree in the heart of Bird Key, this beautifully updated home offers the rare combination of privacy, comfort, and an unbeatable location. The home remained high and dry during the recent hurricanes and did not flood, providing added peace of mind. Inside, you'll find an open, bright, and airy floor plan filled with natural light, creating spaces that feel both welcoming and effortlessly livable. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee or entertaining friends by the pool, every room invites you to relax and stay awhile. The backyard is something truly special. Anchored by a majestic banyan tree, the outdoor space feels like a private retreat—perfect for afternoons by the pool, evening dinners outdoors, or simply unwinding beneath the shade of one of Sarasota's most iconic trees. Located just minutes from downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, and the white sand beaches of Lido Key, you'll enjoy easy access to exceptional restaurants, shopping, entertainment, boating, and everything that makes Sarasota one of Florida's most desirable places to live. Residents also have the option to join the Bird Key Yacht Club, offering tennis, boating, dining, and a vibrant social calendar, along with reciprocal privileges at Laurel Oak Country Club and Sara Bay Country Club. Lawn care, pool maintenance, and pest control are included, making everyday living easy and carefree. Pets are welcome on a case-by-case basis.
