Enter this spectacular bayfront Italian neo-classical Renaissance walled and gated estate and be transported to a grand villa in Tuscany. The owner traveled throughout Europe to capture the architectural details necessary to create a truly extraordinary Old World residence. Restoration and expansion were completed in 2020 under the guidance of a classically trained Italian architect. Situated directly on Little Sarasota Bay (140’ frontage), adjacent to the exclusive Field Club, the 1.26-acre site is the setting for this truly custom masterpiece. From the hand-wrought gates, highly detailed interior and exterior, with imported marble floors, Venetian plaster walls, rich paneling, handmade moldings with gold leaf accents, frescos, unique balustrades, pecky cypress ceilings to the Clive Christian-inspired kitchen, and accompanying caterers' kitchen, every way your eyes travel brings a new surprise. The magnificent bay views with glorious sunsets are perfect complements to be enjoyed from multiple rooms inside or outside from extensive terraces, beautiful gardens, or cocktail perch. Relax or entertain by the pool, reminiscent of Gianni Versace’s Casa Casuarina, prepare an al fresco meal in the amazing outdoor kitchen, or cast off the lines and set off to explore the Bay and Gulf from the dock with a 20,000-pound lift. Truly a one-of-a-kind residence offering gracious living now and for generations to come. Very private, but moments away from all the many cultural venues, restaurants, shopping, medical facilities (and airport) that Sarasota offers.
