Bay Point’s coveted location tucked between the exclusive neighborhood of Harbor Acres and Downtown Sarasota offers both privacy and proximity—just minutes from downtown Sarasota, where world-class dining, arts, and shopping abound. When the water calls, you’ll find your private dock more than ready to accommodate seafaring adventures. A primary lift supports vessels up to 27, 000 pounds and can be removed to make room for a 70’ shallow-draft boat. With an approximate depth of 4 feet at mean low water and around 6' in the channel, you can sail effortlessly into the sparkling waters of Sarasota Bay in under 2 minutes. This home is more than a residence—it’s a place where life’s most cherished memories are made, a sanctuary that balances sophistication with heartwarming charm.
