Introducing a masterpiece of modern design. This custom European-style home, located in the highly sought-after community of Country Club Shores on Longboat Key, offers a unique blend of luxury and harmonious living. With a private beach access and minutes from St. Armands Circle, this property offers a prime location and a sophisticated, tranquil lifestyle. Designed by the renowned architect Michael Halflants of Halflants & Pichette, this European modern home is a true work of art. Every detail, from the bathrooms with zero-transition showers to the Japanese style “genkan” entryway, reflects meticulous attention to modern design. The interior features porcelain tile throughout, custom metalwork, a generous second-level mezzanine serving as a cozy reading nook or yoga studio, and a rooftop entertainment area with a wet bar, large custom parasol, a substantial seating area, and stunning panoramic 360° views across Sarasota Bay and city lights. Embrace this open-plan’s great room with walls of windows that complement the sleek quartz island kitchen with European cabinetry, induction cook-top, and all the modern conveniences to entertain your guests in style! The fully pocketing sliders in the great room are designed to incorporate the outdoor patio with the help of a motorized custom awning that essentially forms an expanded covered indoor/outdoor living space with the touch of a button - enjoy the lush outside space and picturesque water views with complete privacy and protection from the elements. This custom designed 4-bedroom plan features 2 separate guest bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower and the other with jetted tub and shower, integrated Toto washlet, with Grohe fixtures to further distinguish the European finesse. Enter the luxurious owner’s retreat via a 10’ pivoting door and enjoy the Zen-like feeling as you gaze out at the canal or tip-toe down your private entry to enjoy a midnight swim. The sexy bright and stylish bathroom has a generous walk-in shower, dual bowl-sink vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a wall of windows which integrates a private orchid “pocket garden” into the space, enhancing the spa-like experience. Additionally, your personal belongings are professionally managed with a high-end custom closet system. Outside, you'll discover 100 feet of waterfront serenity, complete with a seawall, dock, and 10,000-Lb boat lift. The surrounding landscaping features primarily Florida native vegetation, incorporates multiple seating areas, and has an original custom sculpture by N. Rabins. Recent updates include new AC units (October 2023, 10-year warranty), EV car charger, and a climate-controlled garage workshop with bike storage and garden windows to bring in ambient light and to enjoy your blooming flowers. Experience the pinnacle of modern living in this exceptional home, where everyday living is elevated into a serene art form, surrounded by breathtaking beauty and impeccable design. Enjoy your deeded private beach access just minutes away or enjoy fishing on your own dock. This location is ideal, adjacent to the Resort of Longboat Key Club (membership required), and easy access to shopping/dining in St. Armand’s Circle and downtown Sarasota. Don’t miss this opportunity to live the island lifestyle in paradise. The home is being offered lightly “turnkey” furnished (exclusion list provided).
