This is the rare property that delivers every element of elevated coastal living in one address: boating, privacy, architectural presence, beach access, proximity to St. Armands Circle, and a level of land rarely found on Lido Key. Designed by Brian Phipps and built in 2013, the British West Indies–inspired residence blends timeless coastal architecture with modern luxury. Inside, expansive living spaces are framed by tall ceilings, walls of glass, rich wood flooring, custom millwork, and a natural connection to the water beyond.

The dock includes a 24,000-lb boat lift and additional jet ski lift, placing premier boating waters directly at your door. From here, New Pass provides immediate access to the Gulf, Sarasota Bay, Longboat Key, and the surrounding barrier islands. What truly sets the property apart is its scale. The estate spans approximately three-quarters of an acre, including an adjacent parcel that has been transformed into a lush private garden with mature landscaping, open lawn, fire pit, pond, cascading waterfall, and meandering paths. It gives the home a sense of arrival and breathing room that is almost impossible to recreate in this location.

Residents enjoy the privacy of a true neighborhood while remaining moments from dining, shopping, boating, beaches, and culture. Previously recognized as an HGTV Ultimate House Hunt winner for waterside living, 1435 Westway Drive is more than a waterfront residence—it is a private Sarasota estate with presence, scale, and a setting that cannot be duplicated.
