8445 Sanderling Rd., Sarasota, FL 34242

Gulf front treasure! Nestled among mangroves and trees, with its own private beach, and perched over Heron Lagoon is a precious remnant of the Sarasota School of Architecture movement. Post and beam construction with interiors of walnut, ash and heart ofpine, the house has the sleek lines and ingenious efficiency of a yacht. The galley style kitchen has been updated for today with stainless appliances and verde granite counters. Hand crafted copper fixtures and ships lanterns provide lighting throughout. A stacked stone wood burning fireplace separates the great room from dining. Bound on the east by long views of Heron Lagoon and the west by 125 feet of beach frontage, this property has never before been offered for sale. On one of the most private ofall Gulf front lots within Sanderling, the owners enjoy the amenities of the Members-only Club which include Paul Rudolph-designed cabanas and beach house, tennis courts, a marina, playground and 24 hour security. Preliminary site plan available shows a buildable footprint of 5,200 SF on the Gulfside (county and state variances are needed).
