Nestled within the 26-home exclusive neighborhood of The Mangroves, located on the bayside of Siesta Key with Crescent Beach just a few blocks away, stands this split-level home on a generous lot of over 17,000 sf. The lush, mature foliage provides privacy. The circular drive provides access to both the front door and the side-facing garage. The main level features an open plan with vaulted knotty-pine ceilings, several entertaining areas, and an eat-in-kitchen with granite counters. Sliding glass doors access the multi-tiered deck with an outdoor lounging and dining area.
