About This Home
As of February 2023Presenting a rare find! Mid Century modern open plan in the style of the Sarasota School of Architecture on Siesta Key, only a few blocks to Roberts Bay. This staged open plan home features 2,341 square feet of light and bright zoned air-conditioned living space, a rarity as most Sarasota School of Architecture homes are much smaller, and this particular design also features pecky cypress accents. Four bedrooms and three baths situated on a quiet, private, beautifully wooded double lot just minutes to world-renowned Siesta Key Beach and shopping and restaurants in Siesta Key Village. A master bedroom suite with separate door to the exterior of the home includes a master bath that features a whirlpool tub and a separate shower. Master bedroom has cherry floors and coved ceiling details also make this a very special retreat. The fourth bedroom is decked out with exercise equipment or could be that perfect home office. Fortunately, Hurricane Ian created zero damage and is a testament to the strength and durability of this extremely well-maintained and very much loved home. It even has a cozy wood-burning fireplace in the living room to take the chill off for those cool winter evenings. This design even decided to go with a split bedroom plan for comfort and privacy and a separate family room. A beautiful, spacious updated kitchen with custom maple all-wood cabinetry plus two-year-new appliances create a culinary dream come true. The spacious caged and heated saltwater pool welcomes you for exercise and cool enjoyment in the midst of lush tropical landscaping. Even the roof was replaced in 2007 but also upgraded even more in 2021 with two coats of Lanco waterproofing rubberized membrane to further protect the home. A magnificent sprawling oak tree graces the front entry of this superbly built home plus circular driveway. And no HOA or CDD fees to budget for here! But you need to see this for yourself — call us now for your private showing.
