" A STUNNING MASTERPIECE - custom designed by Architect Carla Culbertson, who actually grew up on this property and thus had an intimate knowledge of the site to bring to the design process. The resulting house is an integral designwith the natural environment. Only diseased or weed trees were removed and all the beautiful oaks were retained to be an integral part of the experience of living in the house. The modern yet warm design includes some Sarasota School of Architecture features such as a floating roof, continuous clerestory windows, cantileverd floors, an indoor/outdoor flow of spaces, & use of natural Florida materials such as Coralstone & washed shell deck. The high clerestory windows allow the natural light, as well as"painterly" views of Oak & Bamboo foliage. The custom designed lap pool/spa affords a wonderful space for both entertaining and working out........Custom designed and constructed ceramic light fixtues, entry door, sinks, power room pedestal sink by renowned local artist (Boots Culbertson). Designed with potential optional layouts for remodeling spaces or expanding structure. (See attached plans for clarification). Detached (yet connected) wing - currently an artist studio - could be one of the several possibilities: an artist studio, or two additional bedrooms, bath and media/study area, or a studio loft apartment. Located on a half acre providing privacy as well as lovely natural landscaping..
