3560 - BAYOU - LONGBOAT KEY

Agent's Comments

A stunning reflection of Sarasota modern, this inspired Longboat Key home is a canvas for natural light, coastal elegance, and relaxed island living. Designed by architect Jonathan Parks, discover a thoughtful sanctuary behind the gates of Bay Isles where every design gesture is equally purposeful and poetic. Perfectly orchestrated from the moment of arrival, the entry experience ushers you with care into the open floorplan – whether arriving home from the beach, the golf course, or dining on St. Armands Circle. Step inside to the spectacular living area with 35’ high ceilings and a kaleidoscope of natural light. A thoughtful layout for modern living unfolds, accentuated by subtle details, simple forms, and a lack of ornamentation. Sunlight sparkles throughout the main living space emphasized by upper windows that purposefully diffuse the glow of sunset. The living, dining room, and kitchen flow seamlessly into one another and continue onto the pool terrace. A dazzling display of modernity, the kitchen boasts stainless appliances, quartz surfaces, ‘floating’ cabinetry, center island, glass tile backsplash, walk-in pantry and plenty of cabinet space to hide away clutter or display memories. From this public sequence of spaces, the floorplan purposely progresses to semi-public, semi-private, and finally private areas, with the bedrooms positioned as far as possible from the center. Winding down every day becomes a cherished ritual in the first level owner’s suite. The bedroom connects to the pool deck with its own outdoor seating area and firepit. The sumptuous bath brings in morning, afternoon, and sunset light, complete with porcelain tile, under counter lighting, soaking tub, and Toto toilet. A showroom-style walk-in closet is further emphasized by its own skylight. Modern stairs whisk you up to the second level, consisting of a generous loft-style office with views of the treetops, and two bedrooms – each with an ensuite bath. The completely private pool terrace is its own lush retreat with landscape design by renowned landscape architect, Michael A. Gilkey, Inc. Enjoy meals in the summer kitchen or take a daily swim in the 40’ lap pool. A modern trellis frames heroic views of the sky with separate sitting areas designed to enjoy the poolscape. A custom-blend terrazzo pool tile flows throughout the entire outdoor patio. Additional features of the home include: side-entry oversized two-car garage, outdoor shower, a laundry room perfectly placed for shaking off sand, lavish powder room, Sonos audio system, motorized shades, Seiho vents, and sustainable oak floors. Life in Bay Isles is filled with active and social pursuits, including golfing & tennis through additional membership at the Longboat Key Club, dining, sailing, beach combing, and sea shelling. Just moments away you will find the elegant boutiques and restaurants that line St. Armands Circle with the cultural amenities of downtown Sarasota just over the bridge.
