Tucked along the shimmering waterfront in the heart of Sarasota, Hudson Crossing is an exclusive enclave of just twelve residences, offering an exceptional balance of privacy, sophistication, and walkable convenience. Perfectly positioned across from the beautifully revitalized Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, this coveted address places you moments from the bayfront, world-class dining, and a vibrant arts and cultural scene--while still preserving a tranquil, residential ambiance. This refined three-bedroom waterfront residence lives with the scale and comfort of a single-family home, paired with the effortless luxury of condominium living. Thoughtfully curated for both lifestyle and function, the home includes a private two-car garage, ground-level storage, a deeded boat slip, and a rare, exclusive rooftop terrace--an offering seldom found in such a premier downtown setting. Spanning over 2,500 square feet, the interiors are impeccably maintained and designed for immediate enjoyment. High ceilings and elegant tile flooring set the tone for the light-filled, open-concept layout, ideal for both relaxed living and sophisticated entertaining. At the heart of the home, a chef-inspired kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, premium stainless steel appliances including Wolf, Bosch, and Sub-Zero, a gas cooktop, walk-in pantry, and an expansive breakfast bar that seamlessly connects to the main living areas. Walls of impact-rated sliding glass doors frame the living and dining spaces, opening to a waterfront terrace that blurs the line between indoors and out. Here, tranquil water views and gentle coastal breezes create a serene backdrop for everyday living. The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with terrace access, two spacious walk-in closets with custom built-ins, and a luxurious ensuite bath beautifully appointed bath with quartz finishes and a large soaking tub. Two additional guest suites are thoughtfully positioned for privacy, each offering walk-in closets and flexibility for use as guest accommodations, a home office, or a refined library. In addition to the private 2-car garage with EV hookup, built-in cabinetry, and bike storage, this residence includes a large private storage cabana near the pool and dock, providing ample space for kayaks, fishing gear, and more - a rare feature that outdoor enthusiasts will love. For boating enthusiasts, the deeded dock with 20,000 lbs. boat lift provides direct access to Sarasota Bay, with effortless navigation to downtown landmarks such as the Ringling Bridge. Kayak down to Marina Jack or sail to Big Pass and New Pass in just minutes, with seamless passage to the Gulf and its renowned beaches. Hudson Crossing represents a rare opportunity to experience a low-density, waterfront lifestyle in one of downtown Sarasota's most desirable locations--just moments from the Bayfront, theaters, galleries, boutiques, the weekly farmers market, and the area's celebrated white-sand shores.
