3 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ Sapphire Shores SubDv. ⋅ 34234 Zip Code

Recently featured in Sarasota Magazine...a true piece of architectural history in the heart of Sarasota’s Sapphire Shores community. This classic mid-century ranch was designed by the Zimmermans - renowned members of the Sarasota School of Architecture and significantly renovated by Robert Schennum whose work traces directly back to Taliesin and the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright school. This creates a rare pedigree that design enthusiasts and collectors will immediately recognize. Set on an oversized lot just steps from a serene bayfront park, this three-bedroom, two-bath residence embodies timeless principles with clean lines, an abundance of natural light, long sight lines, huge, picturesque windows bringing the "outside in" and thoughtful spatial flow. Every detail reflects the integrity of its original design, while the home has been meticulously maintained to preserve its character and ensure modern comfort. Unique features include the great room with a soaring ceiling and clerestory windows, the use of grade A clear cypress for accent walls, built in, glass door cabinetry and terrazzo flooring (under carpet) with “mother of pearl” highlights which will sparkle like diamonds if you choose to refinish. There is a spacious 2 car garage with room for a workshop and a large indoor utility room some will call “studio space” as it is currently used to house a number of original canvases painted by the previous owner. The Florida Room opens to a beautifully landscaped and spacious backyard with a shaded gazebo perfect for al-fresco dining or simply enjoying time in the garden. You’ll find plenty of room for a pool if you choose to add. Sapphire Shores is adjacent to some of Sarasota’s most cherished institutions including the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and the Asolo Theater of Performing Arts which is home to Florida Studio Theater and the Sarasota Ballet. Live here and you are just two miles north of downtown Sarasota, moments from world-class dining, arts, and shopping. And just a short drive over the Ringling Bridge lands you in St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key. Architecturally significant homes of this caliber and condition rarely come to market. Whether you're a discerning homeowner or a collector of design, this is a legacy property that transcends trends and stands as a lasting investment in both lifestyle and history.
