Property Description
Restore a piece of architectural history or build your dream home on this prime waterfront lot on Bay Island, the gateway to Siesta Key and one of the island's exclusive communities. Designed by renowned architect Ben Baldwin, a leading figure in the Mid-Century Modern movement, this residence offers timeless design and exceptional potential. The existing 3,321-square-foot concrete block home features 14 glass sliders, skylights and serene views of bamboo, palms and the lagoon. Baldwin's vision of light, scale and nature is intact—awaiting restoration after flood remediation. The property includes an 11,458=-square-foot corner lot with lush landscaping, a tranquil lagoon/canal with easy bay access, and a detached space once used as a professional darkroom—ideal for conversion to a guest suite. Featured in Key Life Magazine — link: yourobserver.com/news/2024/feb/01/owners-siesta-home-preserve-modern-lineage). In the City of Sarasota limits, an excellent investment with seven-day minimum rental period. Minutes to Siesta Key Beach, Siesta Village and Sarasota's mainland. This is the lowest-priced waterfront home in Bay Island, offering a rare opportunity to own and restore a Sarasota architectural treasure.
