"An Architecture Suspended between Earth and Sky" is how Robert McCarter describes the great works of Carl Abbott. Located gulf-to-bay on the exclusive island of Casey Key, this stunning residence is a spectacular display of modern architecture capturingthe essence of Abbott's brilliance. The main entry staircase ascends to the second floor living level giving way to magnificent panoramic vistas. The dynamic use of geometry and special planes surrounding walls of glass bestow mesmerizing views of both the Gulf of Mexico and Intracoastal Waterway. Polished Kashmir White granite flows throughout the residence creating a cool neutral backdrop contrasted by rich maple cabinetry and crisp white walls that allow the spectacular colors of the native landscaping to emerge. Open terraces flow to roof top verandahs and overlook the refreshing pool area, boat dock and Gulf waters taking full advantage of this pristine island setting. Attached by way of an open promenade the guest house offers scenic bayfront privacy, while the guest suites in the main house also share a private entrance from the lower courtyard level. This dramatic home boasts ultra-strength construction with columns embedded 45ft. into limestone plus cement rebar and extra heavy duty roof beams,a commercial grade roof replaced in 2006, 2009 thermo pane storm impact windows, bayside boat dock, private beach, elevator and refreshing pool. Plans available for beach cabana. This residence is one of the best values on Casey Key.
