5178 OAKMONT PLACE

Property Details

Description

For the buyer who believes the best of Siesta Key is experienced by boat, 5178 Oakmont Place delivers an exceptional combination of deep-water canal frontage, estate-sized privacy, refined island living, and effortless access to Sarasota Bay. Set on more than half an acre along Siesta Key’s coveted Grand Canal, this tastefully updated custom residence pairs Caribbean-inspired architecture with 93 feet of waterfront, a private dock, and impressive 30,000-lb boat lift—creating a true luxury retreat for boating enthusiasts just minutes from the bay. A winding paver driveway introduces the private tropical setting, leading to a gracious residence by award-winning builder Lee Wetherington. Inside, high ceilings, substantial crown molding, elegant archways, tray ceilings, recessed lighting, and expansive windows create an airy sense of scale, while warm bamboo flooring brings natural sophistication throughout the primary living spaces. Designed for relaxed island living and entertaining, the open great room is anchored by a striking coral stone gas fireplace and framed by French doors connecting the interior to the expansive covered veranda. The updated kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, breakfast-bar seating, generous storage, and an adjacent service bar, complemented by a separate dining area for effortless entertaining. The spacious primary suite overlooks the tropical grounds, pool, and waterway and features a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, dual vanities, large shower, and jetted soaking tub. A desirable split-bedroom floor plan provides two additional bedroom suites, while a large private office offers flexibility for working from home, a media room, or additional lounge space. Outdoor living is a defining feature of this Siesta Key waterfront home. The wide covered veranda provides generous spaces for dining and lounging while overlooking the private swimming pool and lush tropical landscape. Beyond the pool, a pathway leads directly to the Grand Canal and an outstanding boating setup featuring approximately 93 feet of deep-water frontage, a large dock, and 30,000-lb boat lift. Cruise to Sarasota Bay, waterfront dining, or Gulf waters before returning home to enjoy sunset along the canal. Built with quality and longevity in mind, the residence was constructed above base flood elevation and includes hurricane shutters, UV window film, foil roof insulation, floored attic storage, central vacuum, and construction to Miami-Dade standards. An oversized three-car garage offers excellent space for vehicles, bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, fishing equipment, and additional storage. Despite its private, estate-like setting, the home is ideally positioned near Siesta Village, world-famous Siesta Key beaches, boating, dining, and island attractions, with downtown Sarasota approximately 15 minutes away by car. For the luxury buyer seeking a Siesta Key waterfront pool home with deep-water boating access, substantial boat lift, oversized private lot, and proximity to Sarasota Bay, 5178 Oakmont Place offers an extraordinary opportunity to embrace the coastal Florida lifestyle
