Behold a sanctuary of contemporary elegance, where luxury and innovation converge to create a residence that stands as a testament to architectural grandeur on beautiful Longboat Key. This 6, 000+/- sq. ft. Bayfront marvel, brilliantly crafted by Bruce Saba, offers an unparalleled contemporary living experience. As you step inside, the exceptional style reveals itself, boasting absolutely the very best views of any single-family home on the island. The home’s 360-degree connection to the outdoors is achieved through walls of glass, allowing natural light to flood in and highlight the gorgeous limestone and marble floors and high ceilings. The expansive, oversized 49-foot living room is perfect for both grand entertaining and intimate family moments. The modern kitchen features silver cloud granite countertops and double height silver lacquered cabinets with stainless-steel appliances and elevated dishwasher, while the 4 en-suite bedrooms and 5th den/bedroom with an adjacent bathroom offer unparalleled privacy. The oversized primary suite has sweeping Bay views with a private terrace and a full surround glass sitting room offering four closets for ample storage. Perched at a 40-foot elevation, the observatory provides a breathtaking vantage point, complemented by a treetop-level pool, spa and oversized deck for entertaining. The glass enclosed elevator ensures seamless access to all levels, including a 2, 000 sq. ft. flat roof top deck that completes this luxurious retreat offering 360-degree views of the adjacent 30-acre Nature Preserve, breathtaking views of the Sarasota Bay, the John Ringling Bridge, the vibrant downtown Sarasota skyline, and unforgettable Sunsets. Part or all of the ground floor family/game room could easily convert to a colossal 8+ car garage or more for the avid car collector.
