About 3959 Somerset Dr Unit 5

Boaters—this one’s rare. Located on deep, protected water in Cocoanut Bayou with no fixed bridges, this fully remodeled home on Siesta Key’s coveted north end includes a deeded dock with water, electric, and a 20,000 lb lift—currently holding a 36’ boat—with fast access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf in under 10 minutes. Inside and out, this free-standing 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home has been thoughtfully upgraded. Recent improvements include a new roof (2024), impact-rated PGT hurricane windows and doors, a brand-new two-story screened lanai, fresh exterior paint, and updated community amenities including pool equipment and dock electric. The home also features a private elevator and a large two-car garage, plus a finished bonus space on the lower level that adds flexibility and function (not included in the official square footage). Located in the exclusive gated community of Somerset Cove—just 11 homes total—this residence offers 2,757 sq. ft. of light-filled living space across the upper two floors. The main level includes a soaring great room with a fireplace and a show stopping kitchen with Calacatta Blanca Quartz island, Thermador induction cooktop with downdraft exhaust, built-in wall oven, microwave drawer, and a wine bar with fridge. The layout is ideal for entertaining and includes a full dining area. Additionally, there is a large guest en-suite bedroom. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a large walk-in closet, dual vanities, oversized shower, private water closet, and excellent storage. Another en-suite guest bedroom + a 4th bedroom, completes the top floor. Downstairs, the lower-level features 800+ sq. ft. of bonus space with durable Hardi-plank walls and access to a private covered patio. Somerset Cove is a maintenance-free HOA (not a condo) community with a heated pool, new outdoor furnishings, lush landscaping, and easy access to Shell Beach, Siesta Key Village, the main Siesta Key Beach and the North Bridge get to the mainland in minutes. HOA fees include wind and flood insurance, landscaping, dock and pool maintenance, and weekly trash and recycling pickup. With recent upgrades, private dockage, and gated peace-of-mind—all in a prime north Siesta Key location—this is island living at its best.
