Property Description

Mid-Century Soul + Coastal Sophistication + West of the Trail. Welcome to a masterfully curated Mid-Century Modern retreat located just north of the Stickney Point Bridge in one of Sarasota's coveted zip codes. Situated on a lush 0.31-acre corner lot, this property offers a rare sense of tranquility and total privacy with no HOA or deed restrictions—all just minutes from the world-renowned quartz sands of Siesta Key or Sarasota’s vibrant Downtown. The Aesthetic: Architectural Artistry. This isn’t just a home; it’s a design statement. Every inch celebrates the iconic MCM silhouette, from the striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace to the authentic exposed beams and dramatic vaulted ceilings. The timeless architecture is elevated by contemporary finishes, including large-format porcelain tile, Hunter Douglas window treatments, and custom stained-glass transoms that bathe the space in natural light. The Vibe: Indoor-Outdoor Synergy. Live the Sarasota dream in a space designed for the ultimate entertainer. The family room features pocketing glass sliders that reveal your private outdoor oasis, seamlessly dissolving the line between indoors and out. Host “golden hour” gatherings on the 20’ x 14’ composite deck, dine alfresco beneath the Cypress-wood lanai, or unwind in the heated saltwater pool—all enveloped by lush, professionally designed tropical landscaping and a fully fenced yard. Inside the lanai, a tranquil pond with a pump and cascading waterfall creates the perfect setting for meditation. The private, gated west-side yard—just off the primary bedroom deck—offers an additional secluded retreat, while thoughtfully designed landscape lighting sets the stage for stunning evening vistas. Retreat & Versatility: The Primary suite is a true sanctuary, boasting a sun-drenched reading nook, a spacious walk-in closet, and private deck access perfect for your morning coffee. On the opposite wing, a secondary primary-style suite offers ultimate flexibility for high-end guest hosting or a sophisticated home office. Another spacious guest bedroom completes the floorplan. With three full baths and a thoughtful "split" floor plan, the layout is as functional as it is beautiful. Modern “Peace of Mind Checklist” features include: new roof (2024), new ductwork (2024), fresh exterior paint (2024), 3 new water heaters (2024/2023), impact rated windows & doors (2023/2020), high-efficiency A/C (2020), Honeywell Home WiFi thermostat, and updated ADT monitored security system. Parking Pro: Two separate driveways plus a one-car garage for all your toys.
