1168 Westway DriveSarasota, FL 34236Sale Price: $2,600,000

SIGNIFICANT PRICE IMPROVEMENT. Ideally situated home on coveted Westway Drive near the private beach entrance for Lido residents, this contemporary home features a stunning open, elevated floorplan with a two-story great room surrounded by floor-to-ceiling window walls and sliders showcasing the private covered lanai and swimming pool. Designed by Swiss architect Hans Ritschard in his 'natural minimalism' style, soothing filtered sunlight and rich tropical foliage infuse the translucent interior space in a manner reminiscent of the 'tropical modernism' of the Sarasota School of Architecture. The combined living room and dining room is perfect for large or small gatherings. The private master bedroom is set apart at the end of a tranquil hallway along which a second set of sliders open onto the lanai. Downstairs offers a large bonus room for relaxation with family and friends and another flexible space currently used as a study. Enjoy as is or bring your own design flair. Great renovation potential, including a lot large enough to accommodate new construction. Lido Shores homeowners enjoy gated access to Lido Beach with a pavilion and boules court, close proximity to the dining, shopping and culture of downtown Sarasota, St. Armand's Circle, and the Longboat Key Club. Long known for its mid-century modern architecture, and more recent significant mansions, Westway Drive enjoys a strong sense of community. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets along the sugary sands of Lido Beach and vacation all year round on the most iconic street in Sarasota!
