The guest bedroom includes a walk in closet and has a slider to its own front patio to enjoy beach breezes. HURRICANE RATED windows and sliders offer peace of mind, and a PRIVATE GARAGE (rare on Siesta Key!) offers secure parking and extra storage. Premium engineered hardwood floors and solid core doors throughout. HVAC Jan 2021.
