8008 Midnight Pass RoadSarasota, FL 34242Price: $3,750,000

Welcome to the side of Siesta Key most visitors never discover - and many locals refuse to leave. Located on the peaceful southern stretch of Midnight Pass Road, 8008 Midnight Pass sits far enough from the congestion of the Village and Beach Road traffic, yet only minutes from Crescent Beach and waterfront dining. Here, mornings start with bike rides under a canopy of palms, neighbors walk dogs along quiet streets, and evenings end with sunsets reflecting across Heron Lagoon. This is the residential, laid-back Siesta Key lifestyle buyers search for but rarely find available. Behind a newly installed private gate, fresh coastal landscaping and a new perimeter wall create a true sense of arrival and privacy. The 2015-built waterfront home has been extensively improved, offering the feel of a newer construction property without the wait, cost, or uncertainty of building on the island. Inside, the home has been refreshed with new flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, updated stair railings, and designer lighting. A full Sonos surround sound system, Brilliant smart switches, Philips Hue lighting, and an upgraded security system provide modern convenience, while spray-foam attic insulation improves comfort and efficiency year-round. The completely reimagined kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring Viking appliances, quartzite countertops and backsplash, custom cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, a custom hood, dedicated bar area, and Viking ice maker. The open living space flows directly to expansive sliders overlooking the calm waters of Heron Lagoon - a view that immediately explains why owners love this side of the island. A flexible den with a custom Murphy bed provides additional guest accommodations, and upstairs guest bedrooms have been enhanced with wainscoting and designer wallpaper. One guest bathroom has been fully remodeled and all bathrooms have been updated with new fixtures and lighting. Outdoor living is where the property truly shines. The lagoon-front setting offers a kayak and paddleboard launch from your backyard, an IPE dock for fishing or sunset watching, and a revitalized pool area with new equipment and LED lighting. A newly screened upper balcony lanai creates a peaceful retreat above the water, while the private basketball court adds a rare amenity not commonly found on Siesta Key. This is a home designed for those who want Siesta Key without the crowds - boating, biking, paddleboarding, and quiet evenings just minutes from the beach. 8008 Midnight Pass is not just a waterfront property; it's an opportunity to experience the calmer, residential side of island living while still being close to everything that makes Siesta Key world-famous.
