Property Description

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. A true SIESTA KEY DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH, this rare waterfront residence offers what may be the most breathtaking Sarasota Bay intracoastal view in the entire Bay Oaks community—a view that feels endless, cinematic, and utterly transformative. Positioned directly on the water, this second-floor, two-level, two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath condo is a blank canvas waiting for someone with vision to unlock its full potential and create something truly extraordinary. Once reimagined, this home could be an absolute showstopper, whether as a deeply personal coastal retreat or a high-performing investment with weekly rentals permitted. The main living level features the living room, dining area, kitchen, in-unit laundry, and a convenient half bath for guests, while both generously sized bedrooms are located upstairs, each with private ensuite baths and large walk-in closets. One of the primary suites opens to a private, open-air covered balcony that faces directly over the bay—an intimate perch for morning coffee, sunrise reflections, and quiet moments where the water becomes part of daily life. Build-out renderings have been thoughtfully created to help visualize just how breathtaking this residence could become once updated. Bay Oaks itself enhances the lifestyle with a heated bayside pool, private fishing pier, waterfront picnic and BBQ areas, tennis and pickleball court, clubhouse with kitchen, pool table, and library, assigned covered parking, guest parking, covered bike storage, onsite management, and 24-hour video surveillance. Nestled on the bayside of world-famous Siesta Key, the community is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, majestic live oaks, and swaying palms, with direct access to Sarasota Bay for kayaking, fishing, or simply soaking in the sunrise. The powdery white sands of America’s #1 Beach are just one mile away, and the free Siesta Key trolley stops directly outside the community. Upcoming community improvements—already paid for—include parking lot resurfacing, renovated carports following the 2026 season, and new pool furniture. This is an opportunity to fall in love not just with what this property is today, but with what it has the power to become—a waterfront home where vision meets view, and where the Florida lifestyle unfolds beautifully over the bay.
