1212 Westway Dr., Sarasota, FL 34236

Welcome to Strandhus. Simple, modern and impeccably designed, it is a testament to its Norwegian name for “beach house”. This modest 1960’s home was completely transformed by Sweet Sparkman Architects and is today one of Sarasota’s most awarded homes. Located in the sought-after neighborhood of Lido Shores, known for its iconic modern architecture and grand waterfront estates, the home fits perfectly among its surroundings and has taken its rightful place among Sarasota’s architectural gems. The lofted ceilings, clean lines, open floor plan and walls of glass work together with the incredible outdoor areas to create an amazing living space both inside and out. The great room is a beautiful open space bordered by floor to ceiling windows and doors, and features multiple seating areas, a fireplace and is flanked on each side by spectacular artistic pool areas. The kitchen boasts stunning blue glass mosaic tile backsplash, custom white cabinetry and top-of-the line stainless steel appliances. The master wing addition constructed on a second lot, known as Strandhus II, was completed in 2018 and is a spa-like oasis accessed through a private glass hallway designed to seamlessly join both structures. There are an additional 3 ensuite bedrooms, plus a private in-law suite with kitchenette and oversized garage. The impressive outdoor space includes pool, 2 spas, firepit, fountains, outdoor kitchen, and roof deck with beautiful Gulf views. Lido Shores homeowners enjoy deeded beach access to a private beach park.
