1738 Siesta Drive Sarasota, FL 34239

Newer (2013) “West of Trail” offering with the perfect blend of charm and peace of mind — elevated 22 feet above sea level (X flood zone) with quick access to Siesta Key and zoned for the highly sought-after Southside Elementary. Thoughtfully designed for modern living, it features 3 bedrooms plus a flexible 4th bedroom, office, or gym, along with a versatile downstairs bonus room ideal for hobbies, a dining space, or a cozy hangout. Tasteful curb appeal with Key West charm and a durable metal roof invite you to your slice of Florida living — conveniently located on the mainland. Preferred southern exposure fills the coastal-casual great room and updated kitchen with natural light and frames views of the sparkling saltwater pool and lush tropical oasis. Pocketing sliders create seamless indoor-outdoor flow, connecting multiple gathering spots — whether sun lounging by the pool or dining beneath the flowering plumeria canopy. Artificial turf and custom, low-maintenance landscaping offer a year-round backdrop for enjoyment, whether you’re here seasonally or full-time. All of it paired with the peace of mind (and lower insurance costs) that comes with newer construction — with only a few coconuts lost in the busy 2024 storm season. A two-car garage includes a Tesla charger and plenty of space for a golf cart or bikes for the quick ride to Southside Elementary, Red Rock Park, or Southside Village for gourmet groceries and dining. The historic Granada neighborhood blends 100 years of character and charm, with an eclectic mix of architecture and a quiet, tucked-away feel — right in the heart of Sarasota. Stroll tree-lined sidewalks to Bonita Park, breakfast cafés, croissants, or Shakespeare’s neighborhood pub. Ideally located between the white sands of Siesta Key and vibrant Downtown Sarasota — just 10 minutes to either — you’ll feel like you’re on vacation every day. Within the City of Sarasota, the property also offers excellent weekly rental potential for long-term investment or seasonal flexibility. This is your low-stress entry into “West of Trail” living.
