1070 Westway Dr., Sarasota, FL 34236

Modernist gem in Lido Shores! This immaculate four bedroom, five bath waterfront home is privately tucked into the end of Westway Drive. Situated on two lots, with impressive views of Pansey Bayou and private beach access just steps from your front door. The original home was designed and built in 1983 by East Hampton, NY architect Don Chapell. When the current owners decided to purchase the home in 1993, it was love at first sight. The architecture, light and geometry were exactly right for them. Chapell added a private suite above the master, including an office, lounge area, bathroom, closet and balcony overlooking the waterfront pool deck. In 1995, Chapell also redesigned the kitchen, creating an outstanding space with unique cabinetry and design. Guy Peterson, Sarasota architect who shared Chapell’s love for modern design, took over the renovations when Chapell passed away in 1999. Peterson successfully added a new wing, featuring a spacious family room and two guest bedrooms sharing a private bath. The three-stop elevator was installed in 2008 for added convenience. This elevated home is truly a work of art and showcases the owners’ sense of taste and extensive art collection. Views of the bayou from nearly every room and disappearing glass walls are ideal features for seamless indoor-to-outdoor entertaining. An oversized two-car garage, storage rooms and outdoor shower comprise the ground level.
