A private island estate such as this is rarely offered. Welcome to the enchanting world of Casa de Suenos (House of Dreams), a spectacular, 0.8-acre estate in the exclusive guard-gated, Gulf-front community of the Sanderling Club on Siesta Key. A beautiful blend of Mission Revival and Adobe Revival design focused on a relaxed island lifestyle, this expansive four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath main home and one-bedroom and one-bath casita were designed for entertaining family and friends. The private gated entry leads to an expansive courtyard connecting the main home and guesthouse, positioned around the large circular lagoon pool. The covered outdoor living room is complete with skylights, a wood ceiling and gas fireplace. Exuding character, the home features an open-concept living area, which includes a family room, dining area and island kitchen, complete with stone countertops, wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a six-burner Wolf gas range and vent hood, walk-in pantry and walls of floor-to-ceiling windows which overlook the fabulous courtyard and tranquil Heron Lagoon. French doors beckon to the screened lanai, where alfresco meals are enjoyed while experiencing nature and colorful Siesta Key sunsets each evening. An adjoining space offers architectural details with vaulted, beamed wood ceilings and custom details in the living room with a second gas fireplace, French doors, a game room and a guest suite on the south wing of the home. The spacious master suite features a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows with custom shutters overlooking the courtyard and an en-suite bath featuring an exhilarating indoor-outdoor shower. On the east wing, two additional bedrooms and full bath offer flexible space – one bedroom is currently used as a den and another as an office. French doors from nearly every room open onto screened lanais, terraces and lush gardens, where staghorn ferns, specimen palms and spectacular flowering plants enhance the grounds. Launch your kayak or paddleboard on the lagoon to experience the serene, quiet and remarkable wildlife, including numerous bird species and marine life. Hone your putting game on your own screened mini green. Additional features include a half bath, full laundry room, storage room, two-car detached garage, brick paver driveway and walkway and fully fenced yard.
