Remarks

An inspirational property that epitomizes sophistication with a tranquil yet contemporary vibe. Expect to be wowed by this Venice Island gem. Originally a small 1959 structure, the property was dramatically expanded and completely renovated in 2014. This 2,285 square foot, 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home hits a chord with those who understand what Florida mid-century homes can still aspire to be. The meticulously designed renovation, transformed a mid-century tract house into a beautiful Sarasota School of Architecture inspired home. Numerous honors for the renovation include winner of the 2016 American Institute of Architects Spirit of Sarasota Award to local architect Jon Barrick, SRQ Magazine Platinum Renovation Award and a feature article in Atomic Ranch Magazine. Located in the heart of Venezia Park Historic District, the home flows seamlessly, with windows & doors providing lush garden views from every room while maintaining privacy. There's a spacious living room, dining area, a timeless Florida Room, office, and a large open kitchen that includes rift cut white oak custom cabinets and floating ceiling, accentuated by the white quartz island and terrazzo floors. Adjacent to the art gallery-like hallway with clerestory windows and vaulted ceilings, are the three ensuite bedrooms with built-in cabinetry. The primary suite boasts a walk-in closet, soaker tub and a private outdoor shower. Two of the bedrooms have sliders out to the dramatic 700 square foot lanai with a soaring cypress tongue & groove ceiling. A brilliantly designed exterior by landscape architect Dane Spencer, includes a dramatic yet modest entry courtyard, stone paths that meander around stunning lush foliage that connects with secluded side patios. The pristine landscaping includes a bounty of tropical species including ferns, palms, crapes, oak and Cuban laurel trees. The garage is 1.5 car size, with workshop and built-in cabinets. The home is equipped with a Nuvo sound system, ADT alarm, art lighting, Rainbird sprinkler system, NEST temperature controls, Hunter Douglas window treatments, and an Ecowater filtration system in the kitchen. Most furniture, kitchenware, linens and select artwork included, under separate agreement. An inventory list is available for review. This home is not in a flood zone - 16.75 elevation.
