You will feel like you are living in a resort every day with the elaborate floorplan that connects each section of the home to the centrally located heated saltwater pool and separate grand spa with a firepit inside. The outdoor kitchen and grill area add to the serene lifestyle waiting to be enjoyed by this home’s next owners. A choice among several screened and open lanai areas gives a tranquil paradise-like feeling with tons of lush plants while offering plenty of room to relax or entertain guests. While inside, large windows throughout the home allow an abundance of natural light, including the kitchen’s full wall of glass sliding doors that open to a courtyard-style lounge area. Designed by Jack West, you can see the creative and carefully detailed midcentury style in the later addition of the kitchen, great room and main suite that all feature grand vaulted ceilings –but you’d never guess it was a later addition. The entertainment room has a tasteful wet bar and a wood-burning fireplace, while an en-suite and third bedroom provide an extra level of privacy and spacious living. Your guests will feel at ease in the private bedroom and full bathroom of the guest house that is accessible through the pool area. An unattached two car garage and a separate carport on the side of the home provides plenty of space to park. Sapphire Shores Park, located on Sarasota’s bayfront, is just a short stroll from the house to enjoy the city’s dazzling sunsets. This full-package home is all you will need for the perfect Florida lifestyle.
