Step back to the elegance of the 1920's in this Museum Area home that could grace the pages of The Great Gatsby. Built in 1925, this exquisite home blends timeless old-world charm with modern features for luxurious livability. The sunken formal living room with wood-burning fireplace and travertine flooring has French doors leading to one of the many outdoor living spaces. The new gourmet kitchen is a defining focus of the home with chef-grade appliances and custom cabinetry. The newer hardwood floors are oak plank with a wax finish and add warmth throughout while complementing the rustic pecky cypress ceilings. The enchanting outdoor living area includes a large salt-water pool with dressing cabana and 1/2 bath, and a poolside screened lanai with summer kitchen equipped with gas grill, ice maker, refrigerator and a gas fireplace. The main house has 4 bedrooms including a spacious, light-filled master retreat with Bay views and 2 large walk-in closets. A new metal roof was installed in 2014. Guests will delight in the separate one bedroom guest cottage with living room and kitchenette. Well for irrigation. Kayak launch and day mooring for your boat are just across the street. Sarasota's Museum Area mixes architecture and historic reverence resulting in one of Sarasota's most charismatic neighborhoods. Sapphire Shores is moments away from art galleries, restaurants, museums, educational institutions, beaches, cultural venues, the airport and the UTC Mall. This is a rare and unique opportunity indeed.
