656 S OWL DRIVE, Sarasota, FL 34236 - Sarasota County

A showcase of architecture and radiant light, this 3BR + Den / 3.5BA residence commands a beautifully landscaped oversize corner lot with 158' of canal frontage on one of Bird Key’s premier waterfront properties. Designed by Arieno Custom Home Design and completed in 2023, the home presents crisp lines, expanses of glass, and warm wood accents that underscore its elevated modern style. Inside, the design intention becomes unmistakable—skylights, clerestory windows, and custom 10' floor-to-ceiling sliders bathe every room in natural light, creating an atmosphere of openness that is both artful and effortless. The kitchen is a striking focal point, appointed with low-profile cabinetry, stone surfaces, top-tier stainless appliances, and a gas range. A large breakfast bar connects seamlessly to the dining and living areas, while a walk-in pantry keeps the main space sleek and uncluttered. A spacious den, currently appointed with a home theater, offers additional flexibility for work or leisure. The living room is a bright retreat anchored by a custom accent wall with a gas fireplace and wrapped in soaring windows and glass doors. The primary suite offers a tranquil refuge with pool access, a custom walk-in closet, and a stunning bath with floating dual vanities, freestanding tub, separate water closet, and open shower. Step outside to the fully enclosed all-season lanai, an impressive 800 sq. ft. of living and dining space featuring an integrated all-season kitchen, electric hurricane-rated screens, and electric bug screens. From the lanai, the flow leads to the expansive Italian tile pool deck, creating an outdoor environment ideal for relaxation and entertaining. The open pool, outdoor shower, and dedicated pool bath enhance the resort-like experience. The canal-front setting provides exceptional boating water with quick access to the bay and a large dock with a 16,000 lb boat lift. The seawall was fully replaced in 2023, complementing the property’s extensive waterfront improvements. Additional features include 12'–16' ceilings, a whole-home generator, security system with multiple cameras, irrigation well for landscaping, an oversize garage perfect for car lifts, and a water purification system.
