About this home
1209 SEA PLUME WAY
Virtually Staged. Old Florida Charm on Siesta Key's Quiet South End Hidden beneath a canopy of mature tropical trees on one of South Siesta Key's most desirable residential streets, this distinctive three-story home captures the timeless character and charm that make island living so special. Located within a small enclave of established homes where short-term vacation rentals are restricted, the neighborhood is known for its lush landscaping, beautiful waterfront residences, and authentic sense of community that has become increasingly rare on Siesta Key. Thoughtfully spread across three levels, the home blends timeless coastal architecture with modern updates. Exposed wood beams, a fireplace, and an abundance of outdoor living spaces give the residence a sense of warmth and character rarely found in newer construction. Multiple terraces provide private places to relax throughout the day, while the newly built Trex rooftop deck elevates the experience with sweeping sunset views and refreshing Gulf breezes. Offering 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a two-car garage, a newer metal roof, high-velocity HVAC system, Hardi board siding, and a generously sized fenced yard, the property strikes a balance between charm, functionality, and laid-back island living. Just a short walk to Point of Rocks, beach access, South Siesta Village, Captain Curt's, Crescent Beach Market, the Crescent Club, and other local favorites, the location places the best of Siesta Key at your doorstep. Spend your days exploring the island by bike, trolley, or on foot, with Siesta Key Beach, Turtle Beach, waterfront dining, and endless coastal activities all nearby. Whether it's a morning walk along the shore, an afternoon spent enjoying the island's vibrant beach culture, or sunset from the rooftop deck, this home is perfectly positioned to experience everything that has made Siesta Key one of Florida's most beloved destinations. Properties like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find on Siesta Key. Combining architectural character, modern improvements, walkability to the beach and dining, a large private yard, and a neighborhood centered around homeowners rather than vacation rentals, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the authentic charm of island living on the quieter south end of the Key.

Value check
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.
