About this home
Discover an exquisite blend of Old-World charm and modern luxury in this custom Mediterranean jewel. Located in the heart of Sarasota’s Historic Museum Area in Sapphire Shores, this elegant residence sits safely outside a designated flood zone, yet remains just a short walk from the scenic bayfront at Sun Circle Park. The vibrant neighborhood is surrounded by the city’s most renowned cultural landmarks, including the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Sarasota Ballet, and the Florida Studio Theatre. Spanning 2,534 square feet under air, the thoughtfully designed interior features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including two luxurious en-suites for ultimate privacy and comfort. Timeless sophistication is woven throughout the home, highlighted by high-end finishes like travertine flooring, granite countertops, and elegant tray ceilings. A gracious foyer flows seamlessly into the light-filled living room and an open-concept kitchen, perfectly balancing formal entertaining with casual daily living. The layout offers both a relaxed morning nook and a dedicated formal dining room for special occasions. Designed to embrace Florida’s signature indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the backyard is a private tropical oasis featuring a saltwater pool and an exotic sunken fire pit. Guests will feel welcomed from the moment they arrive, greeted by a unique, expansive motor court framed by a decorative block wall and accented with Frank Lloyd Wright-styled vases. This home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Sarasota’s finest. Enjoy an unbeatable location just 2 miles north of downtown Sarasota, minutes from the boutique shopping of St. Armands Circle, and a short drive to the pristine sands of Lido and Longboat Key. Convenience is at your doorstep with University Parkway nearby, anchored by the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport to the west and the premier shopping and dining at University Town Center to the east.
