A dramatic two-story living room, sweeping staircase, extensive custom millwork, and walls of glass create a sense of timeless elegance while framing breathtaking water views throughout the home. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the residence, seamlessly connecting to multiple gathering spaces and opening effortlessly to the expansive waterfront terrace. Corner sliding glass doors dissolve the boundaries between indoors and out, revealing a resort-style infinity-edge pool, summer kitchen, covered entertaining areas, and sparkling bay views beyond.

Rarely does a property combine this level of space, waterfront presence, boating access, and location. Just minutes from downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, and the area’s renowned beaches, this is a home designed for those who expect the very best.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
