About This Home

As of July 2013

A classically built & beautifully updated in the true Bermuda style is what distinguishes this home & compliments the stunning views of Sarsota Bay,the Ringling Bridge & the City of Sarasota. A winding shellstone walk leads to a private front courtyard w/a fountain & ivy & bougainvillea covered walls. A visitor entering the home from the courtyard is greeted by the expansive views of the bay as seen through a wall of glass French doors spanning the rear of the home. A 24x40 foot living area (on two levels, 24x22 and 24x18)w/ Brazilian cherry floors & soaring ceilings, wet bar & wood burning fireplace creates a grand entertainment area but offers intimacy & comfort for quiet evenings at home. Wake up in the sunny 1st floor master retreat to views of dolphins & sailboats in the bay. A desirable second en-suite bedroom downstairs could easily be used as a den or office. The lovely, bright kitchen has a built-in desk, wine refrigerator & island, & opens to a stunning dining room surrounded with glass doors leading to the pool, a privacy garden & loggia. The loggia itself is decorated with custom grill work, a gas burning fireplace & a stainless steel grill tucked out of sight. A more beautiful spot to sip a glass of wine & enjoy the City lights simply does not exist. Upstairs are two additional en-suite bedrooms with newly renovated bathrooms, one of which offers commanding views of the bay. A 3rd upstairs bedroom could also be used as a den/office. Storage abounds throughout.
