Built in 2022 with the finest finishes and exquisite coastal design, this modern home is a perfect blend of new luxury and Old Florida character in an ideal West of Trail location with private canal access to Sarasota Bay and immediate proximity to exceptional schools, world-famous beaches, and countless community amenities. Pristine inside and out with all hurricane impact glass and the highest end custom features, this sprawling home is excellently laid out to maximize privacy within and from neighboring lots. Past the circular drive, the main entrance is flanked by separate garages that open to a meticulous stone-paved courtyard with estate-like elegance continuing to the double-height entry vestibule and oversized glass front door. Soaring ceiling heights and abundant natural light are immediate impressions in the open layout of the ground floor, brilliantly conceived to preserve incredible sight lines and also allow for private work space and discrete storage and utility. The great room is the epitome of comfortable elegance, with a natural stone-clad gas fireplace and a wall of glass sliders that open to the poolside terrace. The adjacent kitchen boasts two massive islands for incredible entertaining and prep space, with two Subzero refrigerators, drawer microwave, double-width sink with two faucets, and six-burner Wolf gas range. Out of sight, a spacious butler's pantry extends from the main kitchen with additional oven and counter and storage space. Beyond the kitchen, the dining area easily accommodates eight or more and is surrounded by oversized sliding glass doors that open both to the poolside terrace and the dedicated outdoor dining room with fully equipped summer kitchen that includes grill and stainless vent hood, sink and beverage refrigerator. The first floor owners' suite is a luxurious retreat accessed by a private hallway that opens to an enormous bedroom with large doors to an outdoor lounge area and the main terrace. The spa-like bathroom encompasses a massive glass-enclosed walk-in shower with rain head and free-standing soaker tub, two large vanities, and separate water closet. On the other side of the home, a spacious casita beyond the outdoor dining room opens to a private media den overlooking the pool and leading to a magnificent guest suite with vaulted ceiling and resort-style bathroom. Upstairs, two en suite bedrooms add plush accommodations ideal for family living or hospitality. Additional enhancements in this home include a den ideal for a music room or personal study, a second-floor beverage station with refrigerator and generous cabinet space, bespoke gym with full mirror wall, cushioned floor, and high-powered fans, and a laundry room with dual stack washer-dryer units and plentiful counter space and storage. Outside, a unique pool enclosure adds to the home's architectural distinction, beautifully extending the living space without obstructing views of the landscape and waterfront. The heated saltwater pool and spa with waterfall feature are surrounded by a tiled terrace that echoes the premium interior style. Beyond the terrace, a manicured lawn leads to 100 feet of private waterfrontage with a 10' dock and a 10,000 lb boat lift for direct access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf. Enviably located West of Trail in the well-maintained Cherokee Park community just above the north bridge to Siesta Key, this new build home is a masterpiece of coastal luxury.
