"A beautiful Ralph Twitchell home. Known as the 'Father of the Sarasota School of Architecture,' the use of glass walls is characteristic of his style as are terrazzo floors & wide overhangs offering protection from rain & sun. The original waterfront home dates back to 1956 & sits on a xeriscaped lot w/native palms & sea grapes creating a tropical oasis w/maintenance free shell paths & driveway. An open courtyard leads to the downstairs 3B/2B home w/terrazzo flooring & beamed ceilings. Updated over the years. The upstairs master suite has a large bedroom, living room, kitchenette, & bathroom w/jetted tub, dual sinks, new counter-tops & could be used as a home office. French doors open to the 43'x19' deck recently resurfaced which is perfect for sunning, entertaining, & enjoying spectacular sunsets! A cast iron, spiral staircase leads down to the front courtyard & carport below. This canal front home has brand new 20" private dock & a caged, over-sized heated pool recently resurfaced by Aqua Pools. This lovely home is located on Palm Island, a private island within the island of Siesta Key & a couple of blocks to Siesta Key Beach Access 10. A short distance to Siesta Key Village w/blocks of restaurants, bars, retail shops & banking. A perfect home for an active family with canal access to the gulf for boating, kayaking, paddle boarding and a short walk or bike ride to all amenities yet tucked away on a tranquil, private island.
