1394 Harbor Dr., Sarasota, FL 34239

Enter the grand foyer of this impressive Harbor Acres home and be mesmerized by the sun sparkling on the protected waters of Sarasota’s most coveted waterfront community. The expansive floorplan features a glass-filled rear elevation where every major living area overlooks the water. When a house opens naturally to the outdoors, as this one does, lifestyle is heightened beyond measure. Gentle arches, soaring ceilings, travertine flooring, 7-inch trim work, custom cabinetry and thick granite countertops attest to the home’s impressive nuances. The living room, which extends upward to a hand-painted, recessed, 23-foot ceiling, adjoins the formal dining room and wet bar. A two-sided gas fireplace warms both the formal and family areas. The spacious, open family space includes a large kitchen, family room and informal dining. This home has four bedrooms and six-full baths, including two private master suites, one on the ground floor and one on the second floor. It also has a 9-foot two-door elevator. Outside, solid limestone columns and window surrounds add stately beauty to the well-proportioned architecture. The meticulously-maintained landscape encloses the grounds for complete privacy. The home’s coastal allure is accentuated by the covered porch, outdoor kitchen, spa, infinity-edge lap pool and two-sided dock. The dock can accommodate a 50-foot yacht. It also has a 16,000-pound boat lift and floating dock for recreational watercraft.
