590 BIRDIE LANE

Under contract-accepting backup offers. 590 Birdie Lane is the definition of "having it all" - private, waterfront luxury with bay and beach access - just minutes from vibrant St. Armand's Circle and downtown Sarasota's dining and cultural scene. It's coastal elegance at its best - refined custom interiors and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Perfectly positioned on a rare Longboat Key homesite — one home from open bay — capturing sweeping water views while offering peace of mind and protection that comes with ideal placement and newer construction. Built by John Cannon in 2017, this West Indies–inspired home in desirable Country Club Shores spans nearly 4,300 sf with four bedrooms, four and a half baths, a private office, gameroom and multiple outdoor living spaces. From the moment you enter, there's a feel of sophistication and craftsmanship - evident in the volume and coffered ceilings, extensive wainscoting, quartz-surround fireplace with custom built-ins and expansive walls of 10-foot pocketing sliders that open to turquoise water views. The kitchen is both a statement and a centerpiece - featuring Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, quartz countertops, an oversized island, and a hidden walk-in pantry. A custom wine bar with Sub-Zero refrigeration enhances the home’s entertaining appeal. The primary suite is a private retreat with access to the pool, tray ceiling and dual custom walk-in closets. The spa-inspired bath showcases a walk-in tiled shower, dual vanities, mother-of-pearl accents and a central soaking tub. The home is designed for privacy for family and guests - with additional upstairs bedrooms offering en-suite baths and generous closets. Outdoor living is equally extraordinary. Coral stone decks, custom wood ceilings on covered patios, and lush tropical landscaping frame the PebbleTec pool with infinity-edge spa, sun ledge and built-in loungers. The designer outdoor kitchen includes grill, sink, and refrigeration - creating a seamless setting for waterfront entertaining. For boating enthusiasts, the deep-water canal frontage includes a composite dock, 16,000-lb lift, kayak launch, and newer seawall — providing immediate access to Sarasota Bay and minutes to the open Gulf. Blending modern resilience with convenience, this home offers an elevator, impact glass windows and doors throughout, 14ft elevation, a generator, tankless water heaters, electronic shades and an air-conditioned garage. This is a rare opportunity to experience elevated coastal living on one of Longboat Key’s most desirable waterfront settings — where panoramic views, beach access and boating convenience converge in a beautifully executed custom residence.
