Under contract-accepting backup offers. New price - $100K less! Offered for the first time, this rare three-bedroom, three-bath waterfront villa at Excelsior’s coveted Beach-to-Bay community presents an exceptional opportunity to own one of only eight residences of its kind. Positioned on Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway, the villa enjoys extraordinary privacy, peacefulness, and sweeping 180-degree water views from the expansive 36-foot lanai and most principal rooms. This light-filled corner residence lives beautifully like a single-family home, elevated above a private two-car garage and framed by windows on three sides. The open floor plan is spacious and airy, enhanced by vaulted ceilings in the living room, primary suite, and guest bedroom, hardwood flooring, and sliding glass doors that invite the waterfront setting indoors. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character, while ceiling fans, custom window treatments, and 3M hurricane film on windows provide comfort and peace of mind. The updated kitchen opens seamlessly to the main living areas, creating an ideal space for entertaining or relaxed island living. The primary suite features a walk-in closet, a walk-in shower, and an updated bath. A new HVAC system, in-residence washer and dryer, and thoughtful upgrades throughout add to the villa’s move-in-ready appeal. Excelsior’s villas are uniquely situated directly on Sarasota Bay’s Intracoastal Waterway, with no other residences between you and the water. Only eight villas exist in total, four three-bedroom residences and four two-bedroom villas, making this a limited opportunity. Residents of Excelsior enjoy an unparalleled resort lifestyle with deeded beach access to Siesta Key’s world-renowned white sands, turquoise Gulf waters, and mango-colored sunsets. Amenities include two large, heated pools, two hot tubs, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, a fitness center, a library, a community room, and tranquil, tree-lined walkways with ponds and fountains. The fishing and lounging pier, grilling areas and picnic spaces are just moments away. The community is pet-friendly (small dogs), offers easy access to South Bridge and a short distance to Crescent Village, with free trolley service to Siesta Village. With a two-week minimum rental policy and on-site property management services available, the residence also offers attractive flexibility for seasonal or investment use. From morning experiences along the shoreline to breathtaking sunsets over the Gulf, every day on Siesta Key feels like a vacation. And when you're ready to explore beyond the island, downtown Sarasota is just a short drive away, offering world-class dining, arts and culture, including the Ringling Museum, Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, and St. Armands Circle. Rarely available and exceptionally positioned, this waterfront villa captures the best of Siesta Key living, privacy, views, resort amenities and effortless access from beach to bay.
