Overview

Privacy. Tranquility. A home with a “feeling". From the moment you step inside, the unique character and vision of the two artists currently in residence is apparent. Beautifully curated spaces; A large pool that is completely enveloped in the landscape; And then there’s the enormous rooftop terrace overlooking Sarasota Bay……A feature that is hard to top! This incredible home offers all of that and so much more. Located on the edge of Longboat Keys Joan Durante Park, the views alone are enough to take your breath away. Multiple levels make for private spaces, and an elevator makes the navigating easy. Enter into a beautiful first level foyer and take the elevator or the steps up to the 2nd level where the large living area is surrounded in light through multiple floor to ceiling windows and wrapped by a walkaround balcony. The tops of the trees make it feel like you are in an elegant tree house! This level also offers 2 guest bedrooms and a bath plus a large, screened in covered porch overlooking the pool and the tropical landscape. The third main level is where the views really come into play. It is again surrounded in floor to ceiling windows with gorgeous views to Sarasota Bay over the trees of the park. There is a unique separation of the dining area with a gorgeous, carved wooden screen, and an office tucked into its own thoughtfully designed space. The beautiful kitchen features sea inspired hues, plenty of counter and cabinet space and a Carrara marble countertop. The primary bedroom is here with another creative room divider and features a large ensuite with a door out to the wrap around balcony. Deeded beach access only adds to the lovely island lifestyle this home provides. You really need to see it in person to get the full vision. Make your appointment for a private tour today.
