590 BIRDIE LN

590 Birdie Lane is the definition of "having it all" - private, waterfront luxury with bay and beach access - just minutes from vibrant St. Armand's Circle and downtown Sarasota's dining and cultural scene. It's coastal elegance at its best - refined custom interiors and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Perfectly positioned on a rare Longboat Key homesite -- one home from open bay -- capturing sweeping water views while offering peace of mind and protection that comes with ideal placement and newer construction. Built by John Cannon in 2017, this West Indies-inspired home in desirable Country Club Shores spans nearly 4,300 sf with four bedrooms, four and a half baths, a private office, gameroom and multiple outdoor living spaces. From the moment you enter, there's a feel of sophistication and craftsmanship - evident in the volume and coffered ceilings, extensive wainscoting, quartz-surround fireplace with custom built-ins and expansive walls of 10-foot pocketing sliders that open to turquoise water views. The kitchen is both a statement and a centerpiece - featuring Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, quartz countertops, an oversized island, and a hidden walk-in pantry. A custom wine bar with Sub-Zero refrigeration enhances the home's entertaining appeal. The primary suite is a private retreat with access to the pool, tray ceiling and dual custom walk-in closets. The spa-inspired bath showcases a walk-in tiled shower, dual vanities, mother-of-pearl accents and a central soaking tub. The home is designed for privacy for family and guests - with additional upstairs bedrooms offering en-suite baths and generous closets. Outdoor living is equally extraordinary. Coral stone decks, custom wood ceilings on covered patios, and lush tropical landscaping frame the PebbleTec pool with infinity-edge spa, sun ledge and built-in loungers. The designer outdoor kitchen includes grill, sink, and refrigeration - creating a seamless setting for waterfront entertaining. For boating enthusiasts, the deep-water canal frontage includes a composite dock, 16,000-lb lift, kayak launch, and newer seawall -- providing immediate access to Sarasota Bay and minutes to the open Gulf. Blending modern resilience with convenience, this home offers an elevator, impact glass windows and doors throughout, 14ft elevation, a generator, tankless water heaters, electronic shades and an air-conditioned garage. This is a rare opportunity to experience elevated coastal living on one of Longboat Key's most desirable waterfront settings -- where panoramic views, beach access and boating convenience converge in a beautifully executed custom residence.
