Welcome to Casa Prossimo il Mare, the house of beautiful gardens near the sea, a delightful home in the heart of Siesta Key by the beach. Referred to by neighbors as "Little Selby Gardens," this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath coastal contemporary pool home is the perfect full-time or vacation residence. Located in a favorite and convenient location on the island, once your auto is parked, there's little need for it! Just .2 miles to the access to the azure Gulf waters where you'll feel the famous, powdery white quartz Siesta Key Beach sand between your toes, and a half-mile to the quaint shops and restaurants in Siesta Key Village. Light and bright, the covered porch entry welcomes you to an open-concept great room, dining room and fabulous kitchen with a cheerful color palette reflecting vibrant colors from nature and the sea. The 2021 kitchen renovation features custom-built and painted Mountaineer WoodCraft cabinets, Silestone quartz countertops, mosaic backsplashes, Kohler faucet and cast iron sink, GE Cafe appliances including a smart 5-in-1 built-in oven, 30-inch wall convection oven and five-burner range with a pot filler, and full pantry. The Kichler pendant lighting over the breakfast bar and the Robert Abbey dining chandelier accentuate and illuminate the rooms. The family room offers built-ins for storage; a French door leads to a private balcony overlooking the pool and yard with a curved staircase for direct pool access. The main floor master bedroom retreat offers a new luxury bath with stone countertops, custom cabinetry, glass subway tile and glass enclosure, and river stone floors. A half bath completes the main level. Access the upper level by stairs or elevator to the light-filled bonus room, featuring a mini kitchen and west-facing balcony, the perfect place to watch nightly mango-colored sunsets. Completing the upstairs is a second master bedroom suite with a balcony, plus two guest bedrooms and bath. A few additional features are crown molding and millwork, transom windows, tray ceilings, and wide-plank wood and bamboo floors throughout. The crown jewel of this spectacular property are the gardens. The tropical, professional landscaping creates a private oasis in which to enjoy the oversized, fully fenced property where you'll relax in the sun or enjoy a swim in the large freeform-style saltwater pool. Covered areas create plenty of space to dine alfresco or relax in the shade. The outdoor shower will soon become the family's favorite place to bathe after a busy day at the beach. In the evening, relax by the fire pit and stargaze at the many planets and constellations in the sky. The low-maintenance, environmentally friendly yard includes newly installed faux turf, and extensive landscape lighting and up-lighting. Also featuring a three-stop elevator from garage, Alexa remote Wi-Fi, TV and audio, Bahama storm shutters, whole-house gas generator, irrigation well, Hardie Board siding, paver driveway. Centrally located on Siesta Key; only 15 minutes to downtown Sarasota's shopping, restaurants, urban and cultural amenities. This home is truly move-in, there is nothing left to do but move in and enjoy paradise!
