Discover a rare opportunity to enjoy pristine Gulf views, aquamarine waters, and a deep-water dock on the very North end of Siesta Key, just minutes to downtown Sarasota. One of Siesta Key’s most stunning and secluded waterfront sites — a residence offering a rare combination of historic significance, panoramic views of Big Pass, and exceptional structural integrity. Located approximately 200 feet south of civic leader Henry Higel’s early 20th-century Higelhurst Hotel, the pioneering developer’s beloved coastal breezes still beckon family and friends to enjoy swimming, water sports, boating, fishing, shoreline picnics, and direct, no-bridge access to the sparkling Gulf. Multiple covered porches and expansive windows provide front-row views of vivid sunsets and frolicking dolphins. Named for its pineapple stair finials symbolizing welcome, the Pineapple House was built in 2008 with an engineer-homeowner’s meticulous eye for detail. Constructed on pilings and grade beams, the home is set on a 31,293-square-foot lot and encompasses 6,596 square feet under air, with more than 13,000 total square feet. Designed by Diane Weinman with a refined Boca Grande aesthetic and built by ML Collingwood, the dwelling projects enduring quality, thoughtful engineering, and elevated coastal living. Enter through the impressive double doors to a sensual treat of symmetry and light. Main-level windows crowned with transoms frame views of the tropical blue sky.
