Custom built by a locally treasured builder on one of Bird Key’s largest homesites, over half an acre, this one-level Spanish Mediterranean residence delivers a rare blend of timeless design, thoughtful updates and a resort-style outdoor experience. The home’s wraparound footprint creates exceptional curb appeal while maximizing privacy and indoor-outdoor flow, opening to an expansive rear-yard sanctuary that feels straight out of Selby Gardens. Inside, intricate architectural details meet modern refinement to create dramatic volume and warmth, including soaring ceilings with beams and paneling, walls of windows and travertine flooring throughout. The home has been recently updated with features including PGT impact-rated doors and windows, updated electrical, RH light fixtures, LED accent lighting and fresh landscaping. A 2015 barrel tile roof adds enduring style and peace of mind. The chef’s kitchen is beautifully appointed with a Wolf gas cooktop, built-in oven/microwave, Sub-Zero refrigerator, icemaker, custom cabinetry with specialty slide-outs, marble and quartz counters, and a Carrera marble backsplash, all overlooking an intimate walled courtyard. Two spacious primary suites, made even more unique by a connecting playful outdoor shower, complete the thoughtful layout. Two additional bedrooms rest on another side of the home as a relaxing respite for guests. Outside, the ambiance is unmatched with an infinity-edge pool with a gas fire bowl, a covered sitting area and an expansive yard, fully enclosed for privacy, creating an entertainer’s dream and an everyday escape. Just a short distance to the marina and new Bird Key Yacht Club, and ideally between downtown Sarasota and St. Armands Circle. The feel is unmatched, so to understand this level of quality, make an appointment to see it today.
