2324 Roselawn Cir., Sarasota, FL 34231

An incomparable fusion of architectural charm and modernism, surrounded by a magical garden, walls of flowers and sculptural live oaks. This home has a unique design, commissioned and custom-built for the owners by an award-winning Sarasota builder, which they have only occupied seasonally since 2012. It is a certified Green home, with an artistic sense of space and color, a property which is extraordinary in every way. Large windows bring light throughout the open plan, while 10-foot ceilings and 8-foot solid wood interior doors add to the spacious contemporary ambiance. The industry winner standing seam metal roof and all glass windows and doors are built to the latest hurricane codes, resulting in low utility costs. The gardens offer tropical privacy with a screened dining pavilion for outdoor entertaining. The ample modern kitchen is extended by a butler’s pantry and offers custom European cabinetry with quartz countertops and handmade tile backsplash. It opens into both a sun-filled breakfast room and a Better Homes and Gardens-style living area with a screened lanai spilling into the garden. The private guest wing on one side has two bedrooms and adjoining bath, while the beautiful master suite with a large spa-themed bath is on the other. Quality finishes exude from every surface, yet the simplicity of this space offers the perfect setting for both an urban and coastal lifestyle. The location on a quiet circle, yet with fantastic convenience, is a perfect mix of old Florida with modern city perks.
