About this home

Some properties tell the story of Sarasota's evolution. Offered for the first time publicly in half a century, this waterfront estate in Lido Shores presents a rare opportunity to become the next steward of 1.34 acres with 247 feet of western shoreline. Held by only two families since 1974, both recognized for their lasting contributions to the Sarasota community. A rare slice of Sarasota's legacy is now ready for its next chapter. Designed by Seibert Architects, the residence reflects an important chapter in Sarasota's architectural heritage. The home encompasses more than 9,000 square feet with six bedrooms and six baths, including a library and billiards room. This home was thoughtfully designed to embrace its waterfront setting through expansive living spaces, gathering areas and water views throughout, including multiple terraces. The generous homesite presents exceptional possibilities for restoration, renovation or the creation of a new waterfront estate. Opportunities offering this scale of western-facing water frontage, private beach access and architectural provenance are increasingly rare along Sarasota's coastline. Offering a remarkable sense of privacy, yet just minutes from the boutiques and fine dining of St. Armands Circle, downtown Sarasota's renowned arts and cultural institutions, theaters, galleries and museums, this exceptional property also enjoys convenient access to international airports and multiple international gateways, connecting this storied waterfront setting to destinations around the world.
