506 Jackson Dr., Sarasota, FL 34236

Built in 1949 by the renown Zimmerman Brothers of the Sarasota School of Architecture, this Mizner-inspired home was completely recreated and restored in 2000. The thoughtful luxurious design was a year long collaboration between the designer homeowner and her contractor. Much planning went into creating a comfortable residence that is utterly distinctive, yet harmonizes perfectly in its historical St. Armand's setting. Old world charm is expressed with today's lifestyle in mind. The moment you open the Brazilian oak door with period brass hardware you know you are experiencing a home that is set apart in its unique design and French influence. The stunning living room is the perfect place for reading with its built-in cabinetry and imported English fireplace trimmed in blue delft. An informal meal can be enjoyed in the charming breakfast room with its built-in sideboard. The kitchen has all the high end features such as custom cabinetry, speed cook Advantium, butcher block island . The formal dining room opens to the private pool area with beautiful tile inserts. The generous sized master suite has room comfortable lounging and includes his and her marble bathrooms with custom closets. A large guest bedroom suite and a spectacular solarium, profuse with flowers and elegant furniture, complete the main part of the residence. Attached by an enclosed breezeway is a 2 story guest house with 2 complete suites with all the charm of the French countryside. This is truly the Lido lifestyle.
