This meticulously maintained Avondale home offers single-story living and a thoughtful layout to maximize privacy as well as a sense of openness to the lush tropical garden outside. A multitude of windows, all impact glass, welcome natural light and landscape views that lend a sense of tranquility to each space. Immediately through the front door, a wood-clad central living room with a coffered ceiling and asymmetrical marble-clad fireplace showcases the home's distinctive mid-century style, with through-views to the backyard through wide casements and oversized windows. Beyond the living room, a separate lounge creates the perfect space for a comfortable media den with easy access to the back and side yards from the adjacent glass-enclosed breezeway that leads to the primary suite. The large owners' suite, a spacious retreat set apart from the rest of the home, enjoys direct access to the rear terrace and pool through three oversized sliding glass doors. A vaulted ceiling and polished terrazzo floors enhance the suite's abundant natural light and complement the mod style of the home, while a walk-in closet with custom storage system and a large dual-vanity bathroom with glass enclosed shower add personal luxury. At the front of the home, the dining room flows freely to both the front living space and the kitchen, thoughtfully designed for maximum storage. The kitchen features a premium Kohler sink, stainless appliances, quartz countertops, and ceiling-height cabinets, with additional counter seating and easy access to the attached garage through the adjacent pantry. On the other side of the home, a second bedroom and full bath offer room for family living or hospitality, and a separate den is ideal as a home office. Akin to a private botanical garden, the exterior space is particularly remarkable, with exquisite tropical plants flourishing beautifully over the borders of an expansive brick hardscape that flows from the front driveway to the side and rear yards. The inviting landscape and rear terrace extend the home's living space to a screened lanai with ample lounge seating and additional room to relax or dine around the pool. The saltwater pool with spa, resurfaced in 2024, includes a fountain feature that adds to the resort-style sanctuary of the backyard. Teeming with character and comfort, this distinctive home is ideally located in the coveted Avondale enclave West of Trail, with nearby access Downtown Sarasota, the bayfront, Selby Gardens and more.
