One-Of-A-Kind, New Custom-Built residence on prestigious Bird Key, offering a rare combination of scale, elevation, and thoughtful design. Spanning over 4,900 square feet, this refined contemporary home blends modern architecture with Florida's timeless coastal charm and is carefully planned to maximize privacy, comfort, and functionality. The home features four bedrooms, four-and-half bathrooms, a private office, and a separate guest suite/casita with its own bedroom and living area. A circular driveway leads to a striking double-height entry with oversized glass doors, opening to dramatic ceilings and light-filled interiors. The elegant great room, anchored by a fireplace, flows seamlessly through walls of glass to the covered poolside terrace with tray ceiling. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the gourmet kitchen offers a substantial island, high-end finishes, and a generous butler's pantry. The dining area opens to both the terrace and a fully equipped summer kitchen. The first-floor owner's suite is a retreat with direct terrace access and a spa-inspired bathroom. A private two-room casita provides ideal guest accommodations, while two additional en-suite spacious bedrooms are located upstairs. Additional highlights include an elevator servicing four levels, a mezzanine-level bonus room that can be used as a gym or media room, a well-appointed laundry room, and an impressive 33 x 15 ft enclosed pool and spa, creating a substantial extension to the home's indoor living areas. Elevated 11 feet above sea level and positioned on a larger-than-typical lot, this residence stands apart for its unusually generous homesite, allowing for exceptional first-floor living and expansive outdoor spaces rarely found in new construction on Bird Key. Bird Key offers an exceptional location just minutes from downtown Sarasota, the shops and dining of St. Armands Circle, and the beaches of Lido Beach. The Bird Key Yacht Club is currently undergoing a full rebuild and is anticipated to reopen in 2026 as one of Sarasota's premier destinations for boating, dining, tennis, and social events.
