Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully preserved and expertly re-imagined mid-century modern residence overlooking Sarabay Country Club, where architectural integrity and modern performance coexist seamlessly. This iconic Sarasota home was re-envisioned by Seibert Architects and Ball Construction, honoring the original mid-century vision while elevating it for contemporary living. Authentic design elements were intentionally retained, including the striking architectural wood-burning fireplace, exposed wood beams set into the stained ceiling, and beautifully refinished original terrazzo flooring—features that anchor the home in its era while remaining timeless. Walls of impact glass frame unobstructed views of Sarabay Country Club hole 8, creating a strong visual connection between indoor living spaces and the surrounding landscape. The result is a home that feels both grounded and expansive, filled with natural light and framed by clean architectural lines. The residence offers a two-bedroom, two-bath main house, complemented by an attached one-bedroom, one-bath studio or third bedroom, providing architectural flexibility ideal for guests, a private office, or multigenerational living—without compromising the integrity of the original design. The kitchen was enlarged and completely redesigned to support modern functionality while respecting the home’s architectural language. Updates include new cabinetry, appliances, and Caesarstone countertops, creating a cohesive and efficient workspace that integrates seamlessly with adjacent living areas. Behind the scenes, the renovation prioritized performance, durability, and longevity. Major infrastructure improvements, including all new electrical and water piping, were completed in 2018, along with the replacement and strategic relocation of the HVAC system to maximize interior living space. Impact windows and doors enhance safety and storm protection, while interior walls were constructed with four feet of water-resistant drywall, offering added protection and peace of mind. A new roof was installed in 2023, completing the home’s comprehensive modernization. Set on a large, fenced lot with low-maintenance landscaping, the property allows the architecture and setting to take center stage. Ideally located within walking distance of Sarabay Country Club, with culinary cards available by joining the voluntary neighborhood association for just $30 per year, and only a short drive to downtown Sarasota, area parks, and cultural amenities. This is not a replica of mid-century modern - it is the real thing, carefully preserved, intelligently enhanced, and increasingly rare.
