Located on a high and dry lot, the insurance costs are a mere $4,000/annually. This home - with 4 bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, plus powder room, office, living and dining room, family room and kitchen -- is absolutely move-in ready. The first floor is the level where life happens: entertaining, playing, relaxing and cooking in the chef's kitchen. Open the sliding glass doors with corner sliders and instantly you extend your living space to include a screened Lanai overlooking the pool, dock and the Grand Canal. The dramatic staircase leads to a mezzanine level with 2 en-suite bedrooms so family and friends will have their own private retreat when visiting. Upstairs is your private living space with expansive Primary bedroom and bath, plus an office and a 4th bedroom that can be used as a 2nd office. There is a serene, private, screened balcony off of the Primary bedroom for viewing the boats and manatees as they go by. The heated, saltwater pool calls you outside along with the walkway to the dock with a 10,000 lb. boat lift. Paddle boarding or kayaking is a breeze. Located on the Grand Canal, the Intercoastal is a mere 10-minute boat ride away. Whether you choose to kayak, paddleboard or go boating from the dock or swim in the totally private pool, your fun in the sun has a myriad of options. This house is a 5-7 minute golf cart ride to The Village, Morton's Market, gas station, post office, bank and the World Famous beach of Siesta Key! Locals know that Oxford Drive is the best residential street in the village -- with its Protected Canopy Trees and friendly neighbors who meet down the block at the Happy Hour Circle.
