A striking gas fireplace anchors the main living spaces, while thoughtfully proportioned rooms balance openness with comfort. Offering four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and a flexible bonus space, the 3,395-square-foot floor plan was designed for easy every day living. At the center of the home, a custom Poliform kitchen with premium Miele appliances combines clean design with exceptional functionality.

Throughout the residence, the current owners have also enhanced the property with Control4 home automation, security system, new HVAC system, instant-on hot water heaters, whole-home water treatment, Icynene insulation, and a reinforced roof with tiedowns. Outside, curated tropical landscaping creates privacy around the heated saltwater pool. Multiple outdoor living spaces, including an expansive balcony and rooftop deck, provide beautiful settings for sunset views, while a private kayak launch offers direct access to Sarasota's waterways. A distinctive waterfront residence in one of Sarasota's most sought-after island neighborhoods, inspired by timeless design and a connection to the water.
