1.4 acre estate with 150 feet of waterfront on the bay. Located between Sarasota and Naples, two of Florida’s top destinations, yet it rewards with a more private, laid-back ambiance. The turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico are just just a 10-15 minute boat ride via Stump Pass, and it’s only a 10 minute drive to Downtown Venice. This exquisite bayfront residence is built for Florida with an impressive list of protective features: base elevation is 14 feet above high tide, cinder block construction with reinforced rebar, roof clips triple secured, shutters on all windows, 14-ft. x 12-ft.Euro-Wall impact rated to 155 mph wind, hard-wired generator with two 100-lbs. propane tanks. Property protected by Manasota Key barrier island and concrete seawall. Substantial upgrades in the last year include kitchen remodel including full-size SubZero DualZone wine storage, stainless steel knobs/pulls and ice marble backsplash; new Euro-Wall sliding glass doors with arched transom; Schonbek light fixtures; LED recessed ceiling lights; 13×13 Emser tile in kitchen and breakfast room; three full-bath remodels; 9-ft. marble fireplace surround in family room; marble fireplace mantel in master bedroom; pool renewed with PebbleTek surface, salt-water system, glass Emser tile and underwater LED lights; new landscape and irrigation; custom automatic entry gate with WiFi remote control; environmentally-friendly LED dock lights; 1300W dual-fuel generator with two propane tanks; and more. The expansive floor plan features a glass-filled rear elevation where every major living area captures Sarasota’s abundant sunlight and coastal seascape. Gathering areas include formal living room, “royal” dining room, family dining, family lounge and “Cheers”-inspired recreation room. There is also a home office with adjoining personal gym. The kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances, new-release Sub-Zero 146-wine-bottle refrigerator, large multi-purpose island and impressive bay view. The second floor is the family’s private retreat with sumptuous master suite, plus three additional bedrooms and two baths. Also upstairs is the “Cheers” game room featuring a solid-wood curved bar with brass foot rail and billiards area with table, light and cue rack. Outdoors, enjoy a world of sun and fun with two covered lanais, large outdoor pool, pier and dock with boat lift. Adjoining Lemon Bay Preserve contains some of the last remaining undeveloped bay shoreline in Sarasota County and features trails and boardwalks through the natural habitat. Bald eagles soar overhead and dolphins swim by the dock of this very special oasis. Private, natural, refined. Welcome to the magic of life at the heart of this enchanted setting.
