Description

Located on the pristine shores of Sarasota Bay, this striking contemporary Bird Key residence offers a seamless fusion of bold architectural design and elevated coastal living. Designed by renowned architect Jonathan Parks and completed in 2014, the home spans over 4,100 square feet across two living levels. Every inch reflects a refined aesthetic, with soaring ceilings, luminous marble floors, and expansive walls of glass that frame breathtaking water views and spectacular sunsets. A circular driveway introduces the home, guiding you through manicured landscaping to a dramatic marble and glass-framed foyer. Once inside, the open-concept layout unfolds in impressive fashion. The expansive living/dining room is anchored by 20-foot ceilings and clerestory windows that flood the space with natural light, while sliding glass doors blur the line between indoors and out. Perfectly suited for entertaining or everyday living, the main living area flows effortlessly into a show-stopping kitchen equipped with sleek custom cabinetry, a waterfall-edge island, gas Wolf range, walk-in pantry, built-in planning desk, and wet bar. The main-level primary suite is a tranquil retreat, featuring dual walk-in closets, separate en-suite bathrooms for him and her, and a private study offering a quiet place to relax. Upstairs, a spacious loft functions beautifully as a game room, media lounge, or additional workspace, while two well-appointed guest suites offer walk-in closets and private balcony access overlooking the surrounding treetops and waterway. Outdoors, the setting is equally remarkable. With 100 feet of direct bay frontage, the backyard invites endless possibilities for recreation. A long lawn is bordered by a flowing fountain feature, offering the perfect canvas for creating your own resort-style pool and al fresco entertaining space. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the deep-water dock equipped with a 10,000-pound lift, allowing for easy, unobstructed access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico beyond. Situated on the exclusive barrier island of Bird Key, this modern residence places you just minutes from Sarasota's vibrant downtown, the fine dining and upscale boutiques of St. Armands Circle, and the immaculate Gulf sands of Lido, Longboat Key, and Siesta Key beaches. Cultural venues like the Ringling Museum and Sarasota Opera are nearby, along with premier yacht clubs and marinas. Offering a rare blend of modern design, waterfront serenity, and proximity to the region's finest amenities, this home captures the very essence of an oceanside luxury lifestyle.

Bird Key: The Boater's Sanctuary

Deep Water Canals, No Bridges, and Minutes to the Gulf


Bird Key (34236) is not just a neighborhood; it is a nautical lifestyle. Located between downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle, it is one of the few communities where you can dock a 60ft+ yacht in your backyard and be in the Gulf of Mexico in under 10 minutes.

However, for the serious boater, not all lots are created equal. The difference between a "Canal Lot" and a "Bayfront Lot" can mean the difference between parking a center console or a sailboat.

Can your boat fit? A guide to water depth and bridge clearance.

Location Type Water Depth Vessel Capacity Price Tier
Bayfront Estates Deep / Unrestricted Mega Yachts / Sailboats $8M - $15M+
Sailboat Canals Deep / No Bridges Large Cruisers (50ft+) $4M - $8M
Garden Canals Standard / Bridges Runabouts / Pontoons $3M - $5M
Garden Lots (Dry) N/A N/A (Use Yacht Club) $2M - $3M

The Bird Key Yacht Club Lifestyle

Life here revolves around the Bird Key Yacht Club. Unlike many other clubs, this is a true social hub for residents.

For Boaters: The club features a 42-slip marina with wet slips and lifts. Even if you buy a "Garden Lot" (non-waterfront), you can still keep your boat on the island.

For Socialites: With a fitness center, tennis courts, and a waterfront dining terrace offering the best skyline views of Sarasota, membership is virtually a requirement for the full experience.

Location: The "5-Minute" Rule

Bird Key residents live by the "5-Minute Rule."
  • 5 Minutes East: Downtown Sarasota (Opera, Theater, Whole Foods).
  • 5 Minutes West: Lido Key Beach and St. Armands Circle (Dining/Shopping).
You are physically separated from the traffic, yet instantly connected to the culture.
