About this home
616 BLUE SHELL LOOP
Don't wait for new construction when you can have a pristine, better than new, custom home with mile long water views that is available NOW! This stunning; lakeside home built in 2024 has been meticulously upgraded post-construction with a multitude of high-end upgrades. Lush landscaping lines the paver driveway, equipped with an oversized parking pad for guests and leads you to the front entry with modern impact full-glass front door. Inside the foyer you’re immediately greeted with the large lake views that are truly the star of this residence. Enjoy contemporary design within the open floor plan including both study and bonus room, engineered hardwood flooring, designer light fixtures, volume ceilings with crown molding, plantation shutters, professional custom closets, and a bright light-filled space. The central great room has a triple tray ceiling, feature wall with built-in cabinetry, and impact sliding glass doors to the lanai with the lake beyond. The open flow continues into the upgraded kitchen that is expertly outfitted with a central island of waterfall quartz counters, abundant crisp white cabinetry with matte black hardware, glass display cabinets, full-height quartz backsplash, farmhouse sink, walk-in pantry with custom shelving, and top-of-the-line Jenn-Air appliance suite with 6-burner gas cooktop. Perhaps the most desirable feature of this floor plan is the convenient butler’s wet bar connecting the kitchen to the formal dining room with quartz counters and backsplash, glass display cabinets, and wine refrigerator. Enjoy elegant occasions in the formal dining room adorned with custom moldings, or casual weeknights in the dinette surrounded by lake views. But the best place to entertain is on the paver lanai where the lake views take center stage from the covered living area with cozy fireplace, modern ceiling fan, and remote-controlled hurricane screens. The dining space is highlighted by the custom outdoor kitchen with granite counters, full-height backsplash, stainless steel grill, pizza oven and side burner and beverage refrigerator. The heated saltwater pool includes a raised spa, water founders, water bowl features and a panoramic screen enclosure framing the lake views. Your primary suite also takes advantage of the remarkable lake views through glass french doors, plus custom triple tray ceiling, dual walk-in closets, and en-suite bath with freestanding tub, oversized walk-in shower, long vanity with dual sinks, and private water closet. Guests will find their own comfort and privacy in 3 guest bedrooms, all with walk-in closets, 2 of which have private en-suite bathrooms, and the third full bath also works as a pool bath. Additional spaces include a private study, lakeside bonus room with closet (could be a 5th bedroom), functional laundry room, mudroom entry hall with cabinetry, and impressive 3-car garage with its own air conditioning. Peace of mind is secured with impact windows and doors, whole-house GENERATOR, and whole-house water filtration.

Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.

The edgeAI estimate is a starting point, not an appraisal or a broker price opinion. It is generated from public records, listing data and market modeling, and is subject to change once a licensed real estate professional personally inspects the property. Condition, floor, view and lot are not fully captured by any model — ask us for a full comparative market analysis.

The brief
Four things that matter here
01Positioned at the premium end
$3,250,000 runs 470% above the Sarasota median — but at 3,754 sqft it's also nearly twice the size of the typical Sarasota listing.
02Waterfront living
This home sits directly on the water — the single scarcest feature in Florida inventory and the strongest long-term value anchor.
03Know the monthly fee
The association fee is $585/mo. That usually buys real services — verify what's covered before comparing this home against fee-free alternatives.
04Time on market is leverage
130 days on market against a Sarasota median of 58 — sellers in this position are usually ready to negotiate.
