About this home

Some homes are simply built differently. Conceived as a grand private waterfront estate, this remarkable residence within the exclusive gated enclave of Lighthouse Point is a rare expression of architectural elegance, exceptional privacy, world-class boating, and effortless coastal luxury. Perfectly positioned on more than one-third of an acre overlooking a tranquil lagoon with coveted bridgeless access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, this extraordinary four-bedroom, four-full-bath, one-half-bath residence unfolds across nearly five thousand square feet of refined living space. Originally conceived as a grand coastal estate and extensively reimagined in 2021, the home creates an atmosphere that is both elegant and remarkably livable. A dramatic two-story foyer with soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, arched French doors, custom millwork, and an architectural wraparound gallery immediately establishes a while walls of glass frame shimmering water views and expansive sliding doors seamlessly connect the interior living spaces to spectacular waterfront terraces. Designed for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining, the elegant great room flows effortlessly to the resort-inspired outdoor living areas overlooking the saltwater pool, spa, lush tropical landscaping, and private dock beyond. At the heart of the home, the custom Cucina Ricci kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional, featuring handcrafted cabinetry, an oversized entertaining island, and an exceptional suite of integrated Miele VitroLine appliances, including double ovens, induction cooking, and a built-in coffee system. Just beyond, a waterfront lounge offers the perfect setting for casual living or media enjoyment while maintaining an uninterrupted connection to the outdoor loggia. Privately situated on the main level, the owner's retreat is a true sanctuary, offering peaceful water views, direct terrace access, dual custom walk-in closets, and a beautifully renovated spa-inspired bath with oversized vanities, designer finishes, and an expansive walk-in rain shower. Upstairs, three spacious en-suite guest bedrooms and an additional loft-style lounge or office provide luxurious accommodations for family and guests. Outside, the estate lives like a private waterfront resort, where a stunning travertine pool terrace, mature tropical landscaping, integrated landscape lighting, and multiple outdoor entertaining areas create an extraordinary setting for year-round coastal living. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the protected deep-water dock featuring a fourteen-thousand-pound lift, upgraded motors, dockside Wi-Fi, and immediate bridge-free access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf, placing some of Florida's finest boating just moments from your backyard. Thoughtfully appointed throughout, the residence also features a fully renovated interior, impact-rated windows and doors, hurricane protection, a whole-house Kohler generator, integrated Yamaha indoor/outdoor audio, a spacious three-car garage with EV charging capability, and numerous additional upgrades that allow the home to be enjoyed with complete confidence. Residents of Lighthouse Point enjoy private tennis courts, a short stroll to the pristine beaches of Longboat Key, and convenient access to the Longboat Key Club, St. Armands Circle, and the world-class dining, shopping, and cultural attractions of downtown Sarasota. An exceptional offering in one of Longboat Key's most prestigious waterfront communities.
