Rare and desirable, this spectacular Gulf-front estate has never been offered for sale. This striking contemporary home was designed by renowned architect Robert Geddes, the first dean of Princeton's School of Architecture, to complement the surrounding coastal environment. The private sandy beach, sparkling aqua waters, lush tropical landscaping, and incredibly colorful sunsets were his inspiration for this amazing home. Located in the exclusive Sanderling Club on Siesta Key's coveted Gulf of Mexico with arguably the most beautiful vistas in all of Sarasota. Sited on over an acre with 172' of pristine beachfront where you'll experience peaceful tranquility in the enchanting surroundings; each area has a distinct character of light and texture. The expansive home with nearly 5,000 square feet of living space was designed as a social continuum to accommodate both active and quiet activities, from the office/library on the north to the family room and pool on the south, all focused on the beach and seascape. Natural light streams through east-west windows. Four, second-level ensuite bedrooms offer Gulf views and terraces. Enjoy trellised gardens and an Olympic-size pool overlooking the aquamarine Gulf. The Sanderling Club is a Gulf-to-Bay guard-gated community with unrivaled privacy, unique architecture, tennis courts, cabanas, clubhouse and dockage with direct bay access. Culturally rich downtown Sarasota's restaurants, theatre, ballet, opera, museums, galleries and shopping are a short drive away.
