This one-of-a-kind mid-century modern gem captures the essence of Sarasota School architecture with dramatic asymmetry, clerestory windows, and clean lines that celebrate natural light and connection to the outdoors. Set in sought-after South Venice and located in **Flood Zone X** (no flood insurance required), this home is a sculptural showpiece—not a replica, but an authentic expression of architectural artistry. The iconic butterfly roofline, exposed beams, breezeblock accents, and floor-to-ceiling glass create a striking first impression that only deepens once inside. The interior is equally stunning. A full-height brick fireplace anchors the great room, surrounded by soaring ceilings and walls of windows that bathe the space in golden light. The adjacent dining area and kitchen are equal parts stylish and functional, with **brand-new stainless steel appliances**, glossy white cabinetry, and a dramatic black tile backsplash. Every design element honors the home’s mid-century roots while offering modern comfort and efficiency. Tucked just behind the fireplace is something truly rare—a **glass-enclosed sunroom featuring the original built-in grill**, an architectural time capsule that’s as functional as it is conversation-worthy. This is a space unlike any other, ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or simply soaking in the design details. The split floor plan offers a private primary suite, two guest rooms, and two full bathrooms—including a hall bath wrapped in retro-modern circle mosaic tile. Additional features include an **air-conditioned garage** (perfect for a studio, workshop, or gym), a three-year-old roof, full home **replumb**, updated fixtures, and energy-efficient lighting. Outside, a deep driveway offers plenty of parking, and the fenced yard invites outdoor living. Residents of South Venice enjoy exclusive access to a **private neighborhood ferry** that carries you to a pristine, residents-only beach—an experience found nowhere else in Sarasota County. Optional boat ramp access adds even more appeal for water lovers. This home is more than a residence—it’s a piece of architectural history reimagined for modern living.
