Encompassing over 6,100 square feet, the residence was thoughtfully designed to balance grand-scale entertaining with comfortable everyday living. A dramatic two-story living room, sweeping staircase, extensive custom millwork, and walls of glass create a sense of timeless elegance while framing breathtaking water views throughout the home. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the residence, seamlessly connecting to multiple gathering spaces and opening effortlessly to the expansive waterfront terrace.

Designed for both recreation and relaxation, the home also features a private office/library, elevator access, media and game room with full bar, and a four-car split garage. Outside, the lifestyle continues with a private dock, boat lift, fishing pier, and immediate access to Sarasota Bay. Whether enjoying sunset cruises, waterfront dining, or simply relaxing poolside while watching dolphins and boats pass by, every day feels like a vacation. Rarely does a property combine this level of space, waterfront presence, boating access, and location. Just minutes from downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, and the area’s renowned beaches, this is a home designed for those who expect the very best.
