Under contract-accepting backup offers. KIMLIRA… Welcome to this distinguished family estate, a true sanctuary nestled on over an acre of lush landscaping and majestic oaks, offering both privacy and tranquility. Designed by architect Arthur F. Mead and built by the respected contractor Thomas V. Hensey, this exceptional 4 or 5-bedroom home exemplifies the highest quality craftsmanship throughout and a sense of quiet luxury. The light-filled interior boasts soaring vaulted ceilings and an abundance of windows that bring the beauty of the outdoors in. The covered entry leads to an elegant foyer and spacious living room with a coral stone fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and extended hearth. The adjacent dining room is perfect for formal entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is complete with a large butler's pantry and a cozy breakfast nook that opens to one of two inviting family rooms. The primary suite is expansive, private and includes a beautifully appointed bathroom with custom cabinetry, two walk-in closets with built-ins, a marble shower and soaking tub. The other wing of the home starts with a large family room with built-in cabinetry (could be 5th BDR) and the additional three spacious bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms. Step outside to a serene, zen-inspired private yard, perfect for peaceful moments. The screened porch is ideal for outdoor dining, while the 56-foot lap pool provides an invigorating escape. Both ends of the house have garages, one a two-car garage with a walk-through storage area that spans the entire length of the house offers incredible storage space. The other two-car garage has an elevator lift that ensures easy accessibility. Hurricane protection on all windows. The base floor is 12+ (according to previous elevation certification), with concrete walls, floors and stem wall (addition is wood). Located near the Landings and Field Club, this home offers a quiet setting, while remaining just minutes from shopping, dining, hospital, and the cultural attractions of downtown Sarasota, as well as the pristine white sands of Siesta Key. More than a home, it’s a serene retreat.
