This beautiful and magnificent custom built home was exquisitely designed by noted architect James von Brewer. The design of the home simplifies the living space to reveal the essential quality of structure, using relatively simple elegantdesigns; ornamentations are quality rather than quantity. The home conveys simplicity as an attitude toward life. In its flawless design, one can simultaneously see the abstract quality of something that is invisible and find the essence of the invisiblequalities of natural light, sky, earth, air and water. The home has been impeccably maintained. High ceilings, expansive windows, a large countertop bar in the kitchen, and a fabulous open floor plan are perfect for entertaining. This stunning 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is convenient to the sugar-sand beaches of Longboat Key and Longbeach Village, which is noted as much for its thriving arts and cultural scene as for its tropical beauty and numerous popular dining options. The Village is also home to the Longboat Key Center for the Arts, which is affiliated with the famed Ringling College of Art and Design. It is a short drive to Longboat Pass Bridge and the charming village of Anna Maria with its quaint boutiques and numerous restaurants.
