Located on the north end of historic Bird Key, no expense has been spared in creating this masterpiece of opulent waterfront living. Architectural high points include roman columns, a graceful winding staircase; and soaring double-height living room with contemporary fireplace and sweeping bay views. The kitchen is a triumph of function and design, in which exquisite cabinetry, sleek marble surfaces and the finest appliances unite into one strikingly symmetrical space. To one side is a wet bar with wine storage; to the other, an office with French doors leading to a waterside patio. Additional highlights include textured and faux-finished walls, tray ceilings and custom built-ins, hardwood and travertine flooring, chandeliers and contemporary lighting. For ease of access, an elevator services all levels. Two master suites—one up, one down—plus two additional guest suites are ideal for hosting overnight guests or accommodating a multi-generational household in style. A large recreational loft area completes the upstairs layout. Outside, just steps down from the main floor balconies, are the patio, pool and spa deck with multiple dining, and lounge areas. Beyond, the 40-foot boat dock juts from the property’s 120-foot seawall and can easily accommodate additional watercraft. Equal to the home’s stunning appeal is its amazing location. This home is less than 10-minutes from the cultural and culinary treasures of downtown Sarasota, the beaches, bistros and boutiques of St. Armands Circle.
