Description

Modern marvel overlooking New Pass in Lido Shores! Step into this tropical escape through the hidden courtyard that connects the three-bedroom main home to the secluded, two-bedroom guest house with an expansive sundeck, 60-foot wet-edge lap pool lined with royal palms and unique fire bowls, as the perfect introduction to a contemporary masterpiece designed by DSDG Architect Mark Sultana and built by Voigt Brothers Construction. The exceptional concept behind this custom “picture frame” estate combines a sleek and innovative design with warm and comforting features, inspired by Sarasota’s School of Modern Architecture and the international modern architecture of Brazil. Boasting all the amenities required for luxury living, this SMART home’s inspired style highlights spectacular water views that stretch out to the Gulf of Mexico from just about every room of the nearly 6,600 square-foot interior, and you will instantly love the 360-degree vistas from the private rooftop terrace made of teak wood decking and putting green turf. Impressive features inside and out include maple wood, terrazzo, and porcelain tile (with a glass finish) flooring, gas fireplaces, custom built-ins, four-stop elevator, Lutron lighting system, gorgeous bathrooms with stone-top floating vanities, four new air-conditioners (2022), three gas tankless water heaters, and oversized four-car garage. As you enter the main residence through glass double doors, the suspended staircase with solid maple treads is backed by a modular art wall made of wavy plastered panels that create an impressive waterfall effect. Volume ceilings and walls of floor to ceiling impact glass sliders to the west and east ensure rooms are bright and airy. Guests can enjoy the first level, offering a gym, sauna, two bedroom suites with waterfront terrace access, studio with wet bar, and office. The reverse-style layout places the main living areas on the second level, optimizing the best of the views. The open concept of this level comprises the gourmet kitchen with its poured terrazzo waterfall edge island and Miele appliances, as well as the family room, living/dining room, and secluded master suite. Stacked glass sliders create a seamless transition to outdoor living, opening to the glass-railing terrace, summer kitchen, built-in grill, and spiral staircase that leads down to the waterside hot tub. Boaters will appreciate the deep-water dock with multiple lifts, newer seawall (2011), plus the direct, unobstructed access to the Gulf from New Pass. Walk to enjoy Lido Shores’ gated, private beach as a splendid finishing touch.
