Residential Property - Single Family Residence in Sarasota

Listing Price: $16,500,000

Description of Property

An exquisite Jewel of Contemporary Architecture with almost 180ft on Sarasota Bay with nearly endless water views. This contemporary masterpiece was designed by renowned DSDG Architect Mark Sultana and built by Voigt Brothers Construction, and it sits on over 1 acre directly on Sarasota Bay. The property is gated and Florida native and drought tolerant plantings were used to limit the amount of irrigation required. Boasting all the amenities required for luxury living, this SMART home is impressive inside and out. Large columns elevate the structure so that it provides protection from the elements and appears to float above the ground above an open air colonnade. The entire building including the roof is made of reinforced concrete construction, with addition of wood accents and pops of color for a warm overall aesthetic. The concrete roof allowed for the installation of a massive solar system, installed so that the home is fully powered and can be independent from the power grid. Enter the residence through an oversized glass pivot door and the suspended staircase with solid wood treads or the elevator will take you to the impressive main living area, which is then all on one level. The great/living room area opens onto the enormous, covered terrace through gigantic impact glass sliding doors overlooking sweeping bay views. The ultra-modern gourmet kitchen, equipped with glass sliders opening to the deck as well, is connected to the great room and can be separated by a movable wall if desired. The primary bedroom suite with attached office/study is located at the south end of the home with the best views of the Ringling Bridge. The four additional bedroom suites are located along a gallery with floor to ceiling glass walls. Each bedroom opens onto a full-length west-facing veranda with views of Sarasota Bay and Longboat Key and the bathrooms are fitted with an interior glass panel to provide water views of the Bay. The ground floor offers garage space for four vehicles, bonus room, storage space and a covered patio area overlooking the over 60ft heated wet-edge lap pool with stunning views of the Bay, Downtown Sarasota and Longboat Key. Situated in popular Indian Beach, which is also referred to as the Museum Area, because it stretches "West of Trail" just North of Downtown Sarasota along the Sarasota Bayfront to South of the Ringling Museum and Ca'd'Zan. Downtown Sarasota, Sarasota-Bradenton Int'l Airport, New College of Florida, USF Sarasota Manatee Campus, Jungle Gardens, St. Armand's Circle and Lido Beach are just a short drive away.The average asking price for a 5 bedroom/6 bath single family residence in this Zip code is $10,395,000.
