West of Trail in Oyster Bay Estates, an artful expression of Sarasota School of Architecture mid-century modern on an oversize .72 acre lot with native plant landscape. Simple geometry, open living spaces and walls of glass capture Sarasota’s abundant sunlight for a bright interior perspective. Look for the iconic ceiling weather vane, now a visual cue of the home’s architectural roots.
Enter via a garden courtyard that welcomes the natural connection between inside and out. Walk into a large, spatially-liberated living area with the kitchen at the center, surrounded by flex space that can be configured to your heart’s desire. A wall of sliding glass doors leads to the immense backyard. The open kitchen is set up with two full-size ranges, double hood and “L” eat-in counter.
Offset from the main living area, the ginormous 500 sq. ft. family room features a wet bar, wall of under-windows built-in shelving and sliding glass doors to a side patio. Private quarters include the primary bedroom on the second floor with three walk-in closets and ensuite bath, plus three bedrooms and two baths in the bedroom wing of the first floor. Also on the first floor, a guest room/office completes the home’s interior layout. Outside, the large fenced-in backyard has a family-sized 44×18 outdoor pool and plenty of room to add a guest house.
Excellent location with easy access to lifestyle amenities — just a half mile to The Field Club, 1 mile to shopping centers, 2.5 miles to Southside Village and Sarasota Memorial Hospital, 3 miles to Downtown Sarasota and 5 miles to Siesta Key Beach.
Love this property for its versatility, function and comfort.
