Quintessential Siesta Key – situated on 0.64 acres of lushly landscaped property, in a premier enclave of 15 homes, this exquisitely designed island-style home is the perfect Siesta Key residence to enjoy the Siesta lifestyle while remaining close to all that Sarasota has to offer. As one enters the gated motor court paved with Chicago brick, the substance and grace of the 6,838-square-foot residence are immediately apparent. Open the Mahogany front doors, and the two-story light-filled foyer welcomes you into a home that quietly lets you know that you are in a well-designed home of substance. The quality of the moldings, built-ins and appointments confirm that no detail has been overlooked, a testament to the open-checkbook collaboration between highly regarded Nutter Custom Construction and respected architect Clifford Shultz who undertook the nearly complete redesign and rebuild of the residence in 2015 and 2016. With most rooms enjoying tranquil views of Cocoanut Bayou, the high ceilings, custom trim and crown moldings, chef’s kitchen, indoor and outdoor living and dining rooms and summer kitchen strike the right balance between informality and sophistication in a special waterfront location. All four bedrooms in the main house are en suite and the detached guest quarters are self-contained. Relax in privacy by the pool and spa while enjoying views of the bayou or venture out from your Ipe wood dock with two lifts to Sarasota Bay or the Gulf of Mexico, only moments away. If you’re in the mood to enjoy the beach or a fabulous sunset, take a short stroll to the private/gated Cocoanut Bayou Association beach. Homes of this quality, condition and location rarely become available. A unique opportunity for the discerning.
