Home Description
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Now offered at $3,290,000, this custom-designed Siesta Key waterfront home presents a rare opportunity to live where every day feels like a vacation — at a newly improved price. Built in 2015 by Lee Wetherington and maintained with exceptional care, the home blends timeless Key West architecture with modern comforts and an unbeatable island location, just moments from Siesta Key Beach and Village.
Tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, the setting offers a sense of calm from the moment you arrive. Inside, rich wood floors, soaring 12-foot cathedral ceilings, and natural light create a space that feels both elegant and relaxed. An open floor plan connects the living room, dining area, and chef’s kitchen — designed for effortless living and entertaining.
The kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a large walk-in pantry. Whether you’re cooking for friends or enjoying coffee in the morning sun, the space encourages ease and connection. The spa-like primary suite is located on the main level for privacy and convenience, while two additional ensuite guest rooms provide comfort for visiting family and friends.
Step outside and experience what makes this home truly special. A heated saltwater pool and spa, full outdoor kitchen, and covered patio overlook a wide canal with a private dock, boat lift, new seawall, and fish cleaning station. This is a true boater’s paradise — perfect for paddleboarding before breakfast or sunset cruises after dinner. The fully fenced backyard is ideal for pets, play, or simply relaxing in the shade of the palms.
Additional highlights include hurricane-rated impact windows, elevated construction (main living at 10.5 feet above sea level), new HVAC, fresh interior paint, and a spacious 3-car garage with a split configuration ideal for hobbies or specialty vehicles. With no HOA and a warm neighborhood feel, the property offers not only beauty and functionality — but freedom and peace of mind.
With a recent $90,000 price improvement, the home now offers exceptional value for discerning buyers — and for boating enthusiasts, that could mean instant “boat money” for upgrades, gear, or your next sunset cruiser.
Located just a short walk from Siesta Key Beach — named the #1 beach in the U.S. and #3 in the world in 2025 — the home offers the best of the island lifestyle. Stroll to the beach for sunset, walk to dinner in the Village, or meet friends for a casual happy hour. Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence or a serene coastal retreat, this is the one that will make you feel at home the moment you step inside.
Opportunities like this are rare. Come see what makes this home unforgettable — and why it might just be the one you’ve been waiting for.
