This modern, sophisticated, and casually elegant residence is situated in one of the most divine locations of Sarasota, surrounded by tropical glamour, jaw-dropping architecture, sunlight, sand, and turquoise waters. Here, you’re in the heart of it all, able to enjoy the utmost convenience and luxury of being a stone’s throw away from the powdery white sand of Lido beach and a short stroll to take pleasure in the plethora of restaurants, shops, salons and spas at the famous St. Armands Circle. The gated, canal-front property is magnificent from top to bottom, literally, starting with the impressive rooftop terrace where you can capture 360-degree views of the beach, the Gulf of Mexico, and the canal. If you’re lucky enough to make this property yours, you will always be guaranteed the best seat in the house for the 4th of July fireworks.

Inside, you’ll find over 4,600 square feet of living space including 5 bedrooms, 4 of them with private balconies affording either canal or beach views, 4 full baths & 2 powder baths, 2 owner suites (one on each floor), and the convenience of an elevator. Additional noteworthy features of this home include gorgeous Acacia wood flooring throughout, a chef’s kitchen with Thermador appliances, two dishwashers, an oversized Quartz Island, a walk-in pantry, icemaker, and double wine refrigerators. You’ll be delighted by the infrared sauna and the hidden oversized 2nd-floor laundry room boasting two sets of washers and dryers. The outdoor space is just as magnificent, featuring a large covered deck equipped with a bar, the two-level pool and spa, and underneath the home, a “FL basement” with more storage than you may ever need and the perfect area to house paddleboards, kayaks, tools, etc. Built in 2013 by Josh Wynn Construction, this home has been certified LEED Platinum, assuring that it meets strict standards for health, efficiency, and sustainable green building practices. This world-class combination of location, quality, and modern luxury is simply unparalleled in today's market! Floorplans and full features sheet available.
