Ceilings reaching up to 21 feet allow natural light to move freely throughout the home. Every space reveals a considered balance of visual drama and functional design. With every turn, another exquisite detail reveals itself—thoughtfully composed, beautifully nuanced, and presented with quiet grandeur. As daylight fades, exterior lighting transforms the grounds into a resort-like setting, creating an inviting atmosphere where every gathering becomes a memorable experience. A private dock with two lifts provides direct access to the protected shoreline of Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway, supporting a seamless boating lifestyle. An elevator serves the home’s multiple levels, while Lutron lighting and automated shades allow the residence to respond intuitively to changing daylight. The owner’s garage provides convenient access to the interior elevator and an additional air-conditioned four-bay garage with a generous workspace brings the total capacity to six vehicles.
