Exceptional waterfront living on Phillippi Creek. This is a boater’s paradise with rare, unobstructed access to Phillippi Creek. This exceptional waterfront property offers 202 feet of solid seawall with no mangroves, expansive water views, and the privacy of a tucked-away cul-de-sac location. With ample space to park a boat or RV and a long private driveway, this home is perfectly suited for those who value both convenience and a true Florida waterfront lifestyle. A paver brick entry welcomes you to this Spanish Mediterranean–style residence, highlighted by a striking curved front door and timeless architectural details throughout. Inside, the open floor plan features tile flooring, graceful archways, wood crown molding, and wood beams in the living room. Large windows and sliding glass doors fill the home with natural light while framing stunning views of Phillippi Creek. The kitchen is designed for both functionality and entertaining, offering granite countertops, a large breakfast bar, custom cabinetry, and a spacious butler’s pantry. A separate laundry room includes built-in cabinetry for additional storage. The primary suite features sliding glass doors leading outdoors, creating a seamless connection to the waterfront setting. Step outside to enjoy a lagoon-style pool and the tranquil sights and sounds of the creek, ideal for relaxing or hosting guests. With direct water access, generous outdoor space, and a peaceful yet central location just minutes from Siesta Key, downtown Sarasota, and central Sarasota, this is a rare opportunity to own a private waterfront retreat with exceptional boating access and enduring architectural appeal.
