Once in a generation, an opportunity to acquire a remarkable waterfront location on Siesta Key may come your way. While waterfront properties come and go, few offer the additional amenities of this coveted street, Cape Leyte Drive, situated two blocks from the remarkably world-famous destination, "Crescent Beach" with its crystal sands and turquoise water. It's not just a beach; it's a national treasure with visitors from all over the globe. Living on Siesta Key with THE beach just outside the front door, and a backyard pool plus dock on the canal, within comfortable proximity to the charming artsy Village scene of this enchanting island is worth serious consideration. Home was flooded in Hurricane Helene. Being sold for land value. Sought after location on Siesta Key. Only 2 blocks to the white sands of Siesta Beach.
