Discover a tropical paradise in a hidden beach-vibe neighborhood on Florida's Gulf Coast, between Tampa and Naples in Sarasota County. This custom-designed modern residence minutes from Manasota Beach is ideally set on a serene stretch of Lemon Bay facing the Intracoastal Waterway and Manasota Key, offering the perfect blend of relaxation and active lifestyle. Designed by an architect as his own retreat in 1986 on a carefully selected waterview site, this all-block, elevated residence is in a unique harmonization of urban-modern design with the beauty of its surrounding natural environment - the home was showcased in Sarasota Magazine that year for its “Miami-vice” modern style. Extensively updated over the past three years while preserving the designer’s original intent, the multi-level home spans 5,522 total square feet, including 2,452 square feet of main living space with vaulted ceilings, exposed hardwood stairs and abundant natural light. The property boasts over 1,100 square feet of decks, including a 4th floor for stunning water views, sunsets and stargazing, and providing ample choices for sun or shade from each room in the house. Additionally, 1,700 square feet of ground-floor space provides versatility for hobbies and storage, parking for 4 vehicles plus toys. The home features 3 spacious bedrooms, a home office, multiple entertainment areas, 2 modern baths, and an exterior shower. The light and airy gourmet kitchen is equipped with new “Smart” appliances and natural quartzite counters, a center island, pass thru to the dining room wine bar and a deck for sunsets and grilling. Enjoy expansive outdoor living with shaded hammocks, a fire pit, and with plenty of room for a pool, RV and sports toys. The property features modern finishes such as European porcelain tile, “Smart” ceiling fans and power blinds, and custom hardwood touches. Ask us for the full Update List.
