Experience Mediterranean Revival architecture at its finest. This memorable estate expresses thoughtful and articulate design at every turn. Located in the distinguished gated community of Whitaker’s Landing, this home is perfectly positioned on a deep saltwater canal with the Sarasota Bay just moments away. This is a true mariner’s delight with concrete seawall and your watercraft docked conveniently at the water’s edge. The turret tower’s façade is beautifully appointed with decorative coral cast stone and stunning wrought iron. The interior is a remarkable collection of refined materials and finishes including travertine stone floors set in a Versailles pattern, stained trim work, exotic two-and-a-half-inch thick chisel edged granites, pecky cypress ceiling details and exceptional custom cabinetry. Together the gourmet kitchen and gathering room with towering beamed ceiling and edged stone fireplace provide a relaxed entertaining atmosphere. In addition to the formal living and dining rooms, the home includes a wood paneled library, bonus room with wet bar and the owner’s retreat. The terracing outdoor living areas encompass the sweeping balcony with fully-equipped summer kitchen, expansive pool with spa and outdoor shower. The elevator provides easy access from the six-car motor salon with drive through ability and rear watercraft access. Enjoy being minutes from Sarasota’s cultural downtown area and the pristine Suncoast water and beaches.
