Description

Set within the prestigious island community of Bird Key, this furnished and newly completed custom-built residence (2023) delivers refined coastal living just minutes from Sarasota Bay, St. Armands Circle, and downtown Sarasota. Spanning nearly 4,000 square feet of interior space, the thoughtfully designed two-story layout offers four en-suite bedrooms, a library/media room, den, and 5½ baths, with a shaft in place for a future elevator. The great room serves as the heart of the contemporary home, showcasing European oak hardwood flooring throughout, soaring cathedral ceilings reaching over 21 feet, solid wood beams, and coffered architectural detail. A stone-encased fireplace anchors the space, while walls of impact-rated pocketing glass sliders open directly to the covered patio and outdoor living area, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Custom built-ins with wainscoting and illuminated display niches provide ideal space for art and decor. The kitchen is designed for both daily living and entertaining, featuring an oversized quartz waterfall island, custom cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, tile backsplash, walk-in pantry, pot filler, and Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. Adjacent dining area includes a built-in buffet and direct patio access for effortless hosting. The primary suite is located on the main level, offering pool views, extensive built-ins, and a spa-inspired bath with quartz surfaces, soaking tub, and a walk-in shower with multiple showerheads. A second en-suite bedroom on the first floor—currently used as a fitness room—adds flexibility, along with a dedicated den, laundry room, and a library/media room with custom built-ins and en-suite pool bath access. Upstairs, a spacious loft opens to a private balcony with glass railing, currently used as office space. Two additional guest bedroom suites occupy this level, including one with a walk-in closet. Outdoor living is complete with a fully equipped summer kitchen, covered dining area, stone accent wall, heated saltwater pool with PebbleTec finish, sun shelf, and raised spa. Additional highlights include EnergyStar insulated impact windows and doors, central vacuum, contemporary lighting, three-car garage with epoxy floors, and insulated garage doors.
