An Indian Beach treasure eight doors away from the Sarasota Bay where you can enjoy kayaking and sunsets. This home was originally designed in 1941 by renowned Sarasota School of Architect Ralph Twitchell. In 2009, the residence was fully remodeled and expanded by James Bowen to adhere to the original vision and aesthetics. The design is a perfect blend of contemporary and mid-century modern. The effective year built date of 2016 reflects this home’s updates inside and out. The 3BR residence uses an abundance of space, a wall of glass facing the garden, 12 ft volume ceilings, natural light, beautiful night scaping and meticulous touches to present a triumph of creativity and innovation – all in a private setting reminiscent of Selby Gardens. The main open living space provides direct access to the covered pool area through large sliding glass doors- perfect for entertaining. The pool was installed in 2016 with a waterfall and is surrounded by a marble deck. The open chef’s kitchen features Caesarstone counters, gas cooktop, breakfast bar and all upgraded appliances. The master bedroom has dramatic views of the pool and garden and features a large master closet and master bath. Other upgrades and features include; 2021 HVAC, alarm system, commercial grade sliders and doors, custom European LED lighting, concrete floors throughout, power window shades in the great room, energy efficient on demand water heater, a whole house water filtration system, extra storage room off 2nd bedroom, landscape lighting and irrigation and the bonus - not in a flood zone - code X500 flood zone. Virginia Drive is a sought after popular location for its Sarasota Bayfront water access and walkability to neighborhood eateries and cafés as well as the Ringling College, John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Asolo Theater of Performing Arts, New College, The Ringling School of Art & Design and Jungle Gardens. It is just north of Main St, St Armands Circle, Lido & Longboat Keys and west of University Pkwy and University Town Center shopping. Indian Beach/Sapphire Shore, also known as the Museum area, is one of Sarasota’s premier downtown neighborhoods. Amidst trees and lush foliage, both modern and traditional architecture paint an idyllic picture. It attracts those who have an appreciation for natural beauty, history and culture.
