Set along 134 feet of waterfront in Sarasota’s prestigious Harbor Acres, this nearly 12,000-square-foot estate has been newly enhanced with a new roof, a completely redesigned primary bathroom, and a refreshed kitchen, butler’s pantry, and catering kitchen, bringing a fresh perspective to an exceptional waterfront residence. Sweeping views extend across Sarasota Bay to the Ringling Causeway and downtown skyline, creating a remarkable backdrop for a home that pairs substantial scale with refined interiors, expansive entertaining spaces, and a resort-inspired lifestyle. A palm-lined paver drive leads to the stone-clad residence, where travertine steps, a porte cochere, and an expansive front porch introduce interiors defined by soaring proportions, custom millwork, wood columns, detailed archways, crown molding, and wainscoting. Designed for effortless everyday living and large-scale entertaining, the home features expansive waterfront gathering spaces, including a family room with zero-corner sliders, walls of glass, a coffered wood ceiling, and a stone fireplace. The kitchen is centered around an oversized island and complemented by premium appliances, a walk-in pantry, separate catering kitchen, and casual dining area overlooking the water, while a dedicated wine room, entertaining bar, and fully appointed home theatre create additional spaces for hosting. The primary suite serves as a private waterfront retreat with a terrace, sitting room with fireplace, coffee bar, dual walk-in closets, and newly redesigned spa-inspired bath. A separate in-law suite offers its own kitchenette, living room, laundry, and terrace, while four additional guest suites with private baths, a bonus room with terrace, fitness room, built-in homework area, dual staircases, three-stop elevator, and abundant garage and storage space provide exceptional flexibility.
