1801 N Lake Shore Dr., Sarasota, FL 34231

West-of-Trail in Oyster Bay Estates, an artful expression of Sarasota School of Architecture midcentury modern on an oversized, 0.72-acre lot with native plant landscape. Simple geometry, open living spaces and walls of glass capture Sarasota’s abundant sunlight for a bright interior perspective. Look for the iconic ceiling weathervane, now a visual cue of the home’s architectural roots. Enter via a garden courtyard that welcomes the natural connection inside and out. Walk into a large, spatially liberated living area with the kitchen at the center, surrounded by flex space that can be configured to your heart’s desire. A wall of sliding glass doors leads to the immense backyard. The open kitchen is set up with two full-size ranges, double hood and an “L” eat-in counter. Offset from the main living area, the ginormous 500-square-foot family room features a wet bar, wall of under-windows, built-in shelving and sliding glass doors to a side patio. Private quarters include the primary bedroom on the second floor with three walk-in closets and en-suite bath, plus two bedrooms and two baths in the bedroom wing of the first floor. Also on the first floor, a guest room/office completes the home’s interior layout. Outside, the large fenced-in backyard has a family-sized 44-by-18 outdoor pool and plenty of room to add a guest house. Excellent location with easy access to lifestyle amenities — just a half-mile to The Field Club, 1 mile to shopping centers, 2.5 miles to Southside Village and Sarasota Memorial Hospital, 3 miles to downtown Sarasota and 5 miles to Siesta Key Beach. Love this property for its versatility, function and comfort.
