1662 ANCHORAGE STREET

Gently used as a family vacation home and meticulously maintained, this furnished 5-bedroom, 4-bath canal-front residence is just 0.8 mile from the beach on a private dead-end street. West of Trail on a deep-water canal with direct access to Little Sarasota Bay, the property includes a private dock with a 13,000-lb. boat lift, a 3-car garage, pool and spa, three distinct outdoor entertaining areas, and an upper-level bonus room with an entertaining bar. Cool coastal colors, high ceilings and generous living spaces give the interior a relaxed Sarasota feel. The upper-level bonus room expands the living space with a bar for entertaining, while five bedrooms and four bathrooms provide plenty of room for family and guests. Outdoor living is a major part of the property. The pool and spa are surrounded by spaces designed for Florida living — a comfortable lounging lanai; a covered dining area with outdoor kitchen, kegerator and wall-mounted TV; and a second-floor terrace for relaxing and watching the sunset. The home’s orientation provides excellent sun exposure, while manicured tropical landscaping, including four royal palms framing the entrance, adds privacy and a gracious sense of arrival. For boaters, the deep-water canal provides direct access to Little Sarasota Bay, with a full-service marina nearby for fuel and service. The property is also positioned on the beach-access side of the canal, making the beach an easy bike ride away. Shopping, dining and everyday conveniences are equally accessible. Altogether, the property offers an exceptional combination of beach proximity, boating access and well-maintained coastal living.
