Located on the pristine shores of Sarasota Bay, this striking contemporary Bird Key residence offers a seamless fusion of bold architectural design and elevated coastal living. Designed by renowned architect Jonathan Parks and completed in 2014, the home spans over 4,100 square feet across two living levels. Every inch reflects a refined aesthetic, with soaring ceilings, luminous marble floors, and expansive walls of glass that frame breathtaking water views and spectacular sunsets. A circular driveway introduces the home, guiding you through manicured landscaping to a dramatic marble and glass-framed foyer. Once inside, the open-concept layout unfolds in impressive fashion. The expansive living/dining room is anchored by 20-foot ceilings and clerestory windows that flood the space with natural light, while sliding glass doors blur the line between indoors and out. Perfectly suited for entertaining or everyday living, the main living area flows effortlessly into a show-stopping kitchen equipped with sleek custom cabinetry, a waterfall-edge island, gas Wolf range, walk-in pantry, built-in planning desk, and wet bar. The main-level primary suite is a tranquil retreat, featuring dual walk-in closets, separate en-suite bathrooms for him and her, and a private study offering a quiet place to relax. Upstairs, a spacious loft functions beautifully as a game room, media lounge, or additional workspace, while two well-appointed guest suites offer walk-in closets and private balcony access overlooking the surrounding treetops and waterway. Outdoors, the setting is equally remarkable. With 100 feet of direct bay frontage, the backyard invites endless possibilities for recreation. A long lawn is bordered by a flowing fountain feature, offering the perfect canvas for creating your own resort-style pool and al fresco entertaining space. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the newer dock equipped with a 10,000-pound lift, allowing for easy, unobstructed access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico beyond. Situated on the exclusive barrier island of Bird Key, this modern residence places you just minutes from Sarasota’s vibrant downtown, the fine dining and upscale boutiques of St. Armands Circle, and the immaculate Gulf sands of Lido, Longboat Key, and Siesta Key beaches. Cultural venues like the Ringling Museum and Sarasota Opera are nearby, along with premier yacht clubs and marinas. Offering a rare blend of modern design, waterfront serenity, and proximity to the region’s finest amenities, this home captures the very essence of an oceanside luxury lifestyle.
