Property Description
Built with the scale and security of a grand personal estate, this gated waterfront home boasts nearly 5,000 square feet of interior living space that opens seamlessly to expansive terraces on two levels, with spectacular vistas overlooking manicured tropical surroundings and a secluded lagoon that enjoys bridgeless access to the Gulf. Extensively updated in 2021, the two-story Mediterranean-style residence and grounds feature luxurious design elements and upgrades, including fully renovated Cucina Ricci kitchen and bathrooms, indoor-outdoor Yamaha sound system, landscape and security lighting, and whole-house Koehler generator. Immediately showcasing the home’s distinctively elegant coastal style, arched French casement double doors open to a soaring central foyer with coffered tongue and groove plank ceiling that evokes colonial island grandeur. Upstairs, a wraparound catwalk with bespoke railing adds to the regal style and scale of the central living space, offering elevated views in every direction. On the main level, an expansive living room flows easily to the waterfront terrace through a wall of sliding doors that showcase water views, while a stunning wood- and stone-clad feature wall with sleek fireplace and an haute lighting installation by Tom Dixon embodies the contemporary design throughout the home. The fully renovated kitchen is outfitted with minimalist custom cabinetry, a central island with counter seating, and ultra-premium Miele VitroLine appliances including double ovens, an induction range, and integrated coffee station. The kitchen opens to a waterfront lounge, currently arranged as a media den, with direct access to the loggia overlooking the pool. On the opposite side of the home, ideally situated for privacy, the ground-floor owners’ suite is a generous retreat set apart by a private passage with oversized sliding doors opening to the terrace. The bedroom, an elegant haven with tray ceiling, recessed lighting, and windows on three sides, enjoys additional terrace access and sweeping water views. The suite features renovated his and hers walk-in closets and a sprawling en suite with water closet, oversized dual vanities, and a spa-style walk-in shower with rain head. On the second floor, three guest rooms offer luxurious en suite accommodations. A spacious bay window suite overlooking the lagoon opens directly to the upstairs terrace, extending the space for open-air relaxation. Adding to the second-story luxury, a mezzanine den adjacent to the catwalk is ideal as a personal office or additional media lounge. The home’s exterior continues its remarkable design, with meticulous landscaping across more than a third of an acre that sprawls from the relined paver driveway and courtyard to the exquisite travertine surround of the saltwater pool and spa. A decked walkway leads to the private waterfront and dock with 14,000 lb boat lift, new motors, and enhanced WiFi. At the front of the estate, the attached three-car garage is a meticulous bay for vehicles and additional storage, wired for an EV charger. Further amenities include a sizeable utility room with auxiliary freezer and two stainless Subzero wine refrigerators, Jansen hurricane shutters, and impact glass throughout. Enviably located in the Lighthouse Point neighborhood where residents enjoy private tennis courts and walking distance to the beach, this address is within minutes of the Longboat Key Club and the shops and restaurants of St. Armands Circle
