3925 Chapel Dr., Sarasota, FL 34234

Wonderfully updated, mid-century contemporary house rivaling any “Sarasota School of Architecture” opportunity. However, this was created by a visiting architect here to design a nearby Church. O. O. Eash is well known for “Danish-modernism” and “simple elegance” taking inspiration from Breuer, Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. That’s a lot of ZING!! for this 2 bed, 3 bath house two blocks from Jungle Gardens. You’ll be welcomed by a wall of period appropriate breeze-block and enter through double doors under a spacious, covered front porch. Inside is an open plan with a centrally located kitchen from where you can see all living areas and outdoor spaces. The bedrooms are en-suite and there's a possible 3rd currently used as an office. A common feature throughout are wood, accordion style closet doors warming up the contemporary vibe. The rear of the house is a wall of glass opening to a screened porch which runs the width of the house. Current owners have done a lot to bring this home to high design standards and one of the most visible efforts is a step-up pool anchoring the back yard creating a tropical paradise perfect for entertaining or keeping to yourself in total privacy. This is a “must see” for fans of residential modernism but will also appeal to those looking for an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores is home to the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Asolo Theater of Performing Arts, the Sarasota Ballet and many more Sarasota cultural & educational institutions.
