1340 Westway DRIVE, Sarasota, FL, 34236 | $2,850,000

The property did not sustain any flooding as a result of the most recent hurricanes that affected the surrounding area. This property was high and dry.

Imagine a life where every day feels like a chapter in your own coastal love story. Welcome to your perfect island retreat—an enchanting mid-century beach cottage that invites you to live the dream of sunlit shores and endless possibilities. Here, the gentle lull of the waves sets the pace of your days, and the vibrant hues of sunset become a nightly celebration of beauty.

Nestled on a private, sprawling third of an acre, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom sanctuary offers more than just a home—it’s an invitation to embrace the island lifestyle. Begin your mornings combing the shore for treasures on the untouched, sugary sands of Lido Beach, just steps away through your private gated beach access. Let the soft Gulf breeze guide you to turquoise waters, where time slows, and every moment feels like a gift.

This home is designed to inspire. Whether you’re swimming laps in your secluded pool, surrounded by lush, mature tropical landscaping, or hosting friends in the expansive screened lanai, this property creates a perfect harmony of indoor and outdoor living. A generous kitchen and spacious poolside decking make entertaining effortless, whether you’re planning intimate dinners or welcoming family and friends for a celebration.

Life here is about connection, not just with nature but with your neighbors too. The island thrives on a sense of community, with frequent gatherings, festive potlucks, and events that bring everyone together throughout the year. It’s the kind of place where strangers become friends, and every season is an opportunity to share laughter and stories under the stars.

Conveniently located, you’re only three minutes from the shopping, dining, and galleries of St. Armands Circle. For those who love the finer things, the Longboat Key Club, Sarasota Yacht Club, and Ritz-Carlton Beach Club are all within reach. When practicality calls, you’re minutes from top-tier medical care, fire and rescue services, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, making it effortless to welcome guests from near and far.

This is more than a home; it’s a gateway to a life filled with connection, beauty, and endless wonder. Stroll the dunes, wade in the waves, and join the gatherings that make this island so special. Your slice of paradise is waiting—come write your story in the sand. As-IS.
