As a modern design junkie, I am always keeping an eye out for homes that speak the language of clean lines. And I consistently feel a little thrill upon discovering a just listed, mid-century modern, Sarasota home for sale. With our area’s legacy surrounding the Sarasota School of Architecture, learning of one such home hitting the market is like uncovering a Rothko painting in your attic. This month’s featured property is no exception. Built in 1960 in the style of the Sarasota School, this 1,610 square foot home gave me a thorough thrill as I scrolled through every crisp image on the property detail page. It’s clear the previous owners knew what they had and how to care for it.
Located on Siesta Key, this 2-bedroom, 2-1/2 bath property features open terraces, glass sliders, and a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces. The open floor plan and vaulted ceiling provide for a feeling of spaciousness. It’s easy to envision rolling out yoga mats to the warm glow of candlelight or even Mad Men-themed cocktail parties.
With the sliding glass doors open, indoor activities can continue onto the outdoor terraces. 
A wealth of windows brings in rays of sunlight, their angles changing over the course of the day. 
The split plan features dual masters so it’s easy to treat loved ones or guests in optimal style. 
And given that location is just as important as the roof over your head, it may be difficult to do any better than Siesta Key Village. Just a walk away from one of the best beaches on earth, with sands of crystalline quartz, you’ll savor every evening of vibrant hued sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico before strolling home.
And you’ll never have to wander far from Siesta Key Village, where you can find your morning cup-a-joe, satisfy a spontaneous urge for mint chocolate chip ice cream, or indulge every week in fresh cut orchids at the Saturday farmer’s market.
Try the signature Island Coconut Mocha at LeLu Coffee Lounge in the Village.
And even with all the nearby picture perfect settings and eclectic village charm, the best part of the day will be returning home.
