Property Description
Located on a quiet lane on Siesta Key, this beautiful waterfront home is a RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A SARASOTA SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE LEGACY! Designed by the Father of Sarasota School of Architecture, Ralph Twitchell, in 1960 when he had perfected his homes for Florida living. Like many homes of the era, this residence lives much larger than its square footage would imply, as there are many screened areas, breezeways, and covered spaces. Entering the home through ornamental red gates, you are in a covered foyer breezeway with a flowing koi pond beside your feet. Instantly your senses become calm as your view moves through to palm trees and sailboat water. With two distinctly different home structures (the guest area and main living area), the guest structure has 2 bedrooms and a bathroom that open to the back lanai, hot tub, second koi pond and to water views beyond. The main living area has expansive sliding glass doors and clerestory windows, exposed beams and continuous pecky cypress wood ceilings that extend outside to the beautiful pool oasis and sailboat water with views leading out to Sarasota bay. The integrity of the MID-CENTURY-MODERN aesthetics immerse you in the space with its Ocala block walls, terrazzo floors, cypress walls and inviting wood burning fireplace. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with birch cabinetry & granite counters that open to the living space with a large open bar top. There is a quaint outside screened dining patio between the kitchen and garage that opens up to views of the sky. The primary suite has maintained the mid-century modern look with many built-in closets and dressers, as well as a floating birch counter in the bathroom. There is an accessory building on the property that features a spa-like atmosphere with cork flooring and a full size cedar sauna enclosed within the space. The southern facing pool area has an extended roof line providing sunshade, and a constant light show where sunlight reflects and dances tranquilly from the canal and pool. The shelled yard leads you to many outdoor spaces under shaded palm trees, 131’ of new seawall, a dock and boat lift. Close to Siesta Key beach accesses, and many restaurant choices just down the road, this home is a one-of-a-kind opportunity. Perfect for those who love nature, love Siesta Key, love architecture, and want to buy a piece of history!
