44 S Washington Dr., Sarasota, FL 34236

Characteristic of Sarasota School of Architecture, the jewel-box Cooney House feels like living, breathing sculpture. Some admirers remark that the residence feels like a three-dimensional Mondrian painting. After the owners completely rebuilt the home, the architect, Tim Seibert, commended their results as reinforcing his original design. Winner of numerous awards, architects and historians prize this home for its flawless simplicity. The renovation enclosed the lanai for an enlarged great room without changing the original footprint. The new large porcelain floor tiles, waste and water pipes, impact-resistant windows, hurricane screening, re-engineered roof structure all strengthened the iconic structure. Other changes included pushing back a kitchen wall into a utility room to create a niche; transforming a secondary bedroom and the existing closet into a walk-in closet. The former master suite has become a sitting room with two small offices on either side and a sliding glass door to a shaded patio and secret garden. Named one of "Sarasota's 10 Most Beautiful Homes" by Sarasota Magazine. Located amid the multi-million-dollar homes on the islands in the Gulf of Mexico just west of downtown Sarasota. Located on St Armands Key where residents and visitors prize the exclusive shopping, fine dining, and nightclubbing on “The Circle.”
