Welcome home to this beautiful Sapphire Shores / Indian Beach neighborhood home! This magnificent “West of The Trail” property offers the perfect mix of classic historical charm and modern sophistication. The location is unparalleled as you are a quick stroll away from watching the sunset over the bay front park. As you pull in the driveway you will be met with the gorgeous bay view, the unique architecture that lines the street and the mature landscapes that canopies the road. As you enter, you will instantly fall in love with the attention to detail and the beautiful interior design by HGTV’s Property Brothers' interior designer who lovingly put her mark on the home. Upon opening the door, you will be greeted by a luxurious grand entry, expansive modern great room (with a fireplace) and the newly remodeled kitchen. You will notice the natural light and how the home seemingly surrounds the pool. There are two master suites... one is on the first level and the other on the second floor, but both with a "peek-a-boo" view of the bay. The back downstairs area can be used as a family and grandchildren guest suite, complete with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a sitting room - it's a great place for adult children and grandchildren to relax at the end of the day when they are visiting during vacations and holidays. The master suite upstairs could either be a game room, media room or a wonderful master retreat. The private pool with spa offers welcoming and relaxing seclusion for you and your guests. Beautiful flooring includes Engineered Wood in the great room and spanish tile throughout. The very tropical setting is located just steps away from Sarasota Bay and bayfront Sunset Park, where you can enjoy a walking path, playground and breathtaking views. This location is in a dog friendly community and is just minutes to educational & cultural institutions, Ringling Museum, Asolo Theatre, Ca' d'Zan, downtown Sarasota, Sarasota/Bradenton airport, University Parkway corridor, Bay Haven School, Ringling causeway with access to St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido & Longboat Key. Nothing to do here but enjoy this uniquely special home, the location, and the sunset view over the water!
