Description

Priced to sell! Situated on a sprawling, nearly 14,000-square-foot waterfront lot, this unparalleled residence is a testament to the timeless allure and simplicity of contemporary design. Originally constructed in 1970, this custom-built two-bedroom, two-bath plus office home underwent a meticulous, top-to-bottom transformation completed in 2015 under the visionary guidance of Leader Design, an esteemed Sarasota-based architecture firm renowned for its award-winning designs. The interior of this exceptional home was reimagined to embrace the essence of open-concept living, with the strategic removal of interior walls to seamlessly merge the kitchen, living, dining, and family room areas; contemporary wall cabinets and shelving were imported from Vitsoe in England. Accentuating the breathtaking views of the canal and majestic live oak trees, every detail was meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of spaciousness and serenity. No expense was spared in the renovation process. The residence boasts top-of-the-line finishes and fixtures throughout. PGT impact windows and sliding glass doors invite natural light to cascade throughout the interior, featuring low-maintenance, polished concrete floors. The result is an inviting sanctuary perfectly tailored for the quintessential Florida lifestyle, where indoor and outdoor spaces harmoniously coalesce. In 2020, a visionary plan was realized to enhance the exterior, culminating in the addition of a luxurious saltwater pool with custom features, a pool deck featuring custom-designed pavers with embedded Florida seashells, an expansive covered pergola and Ipe deck complete with an outdoor gas kitchen and Green Egg grills, and an outdoor shower beckoning residents and guests to indulge in moments of leisure and relaxation. A meticulously landscaped oasis, replete with walking paths, lighting, and majestic live oak trees, offers a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The private boat dock with a 10,000-pound lift and seating on 118 feet of waterfront offers unparalleled access to the azure waters of the Gulf Coast. Designed harmoniously with the lush surroundings, this outdoor haven beckons residents to unwind amidst the tranquil backdrop of swaying palms and shimmering waters. A standing seam metal roof ensures both durability and style. Hard to find, authentic mid-century modern-designed furniture from original manufacturers (Herman Miller, Knoll, Room and Board, Blu Dot) is available. Revel in the island lifestyle with Siesta Beach's renowned white quartz sands, the azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and vibrant Siesta Village's offerings just moments away.
