Property Details

Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Distinctive Mediterranean inspired architecture, exceptional craftsmanship and a peaceful waterfront setting define Casa de Sueños, meaning “House of Dreams,” a one of a kind custom designed Sarasota home. Substantial wood doors from Mexico, striking spiral columns, rich millwork and custom cabinetry are among the many details that give this 3 bedroom, 3 bath residence its remarkable character. Designed for both entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the spacious interior features beautifully defined yet connected living areas. Engineered hardwood flooring is complemented by travertine marble in the entry and elevated formal dining room, while the living room and den feature distinctive faux finished concrete slabs accented with stained wood. The kitchen is a standout with extensive custom cabinetry, granite countertops, an oversized contrasting island with seating, wonderful natural light, views of the pond, Wolf gas range, Thermador double wall ovens, built in refrigerator, wet bar and a spacious walk in pantry. A welcoming dining area overlooking the water provides the perfect setting for lingering over meals with family and friends. Each of the three bedrooms is en suite, offering privacy for owners and guests alike. The spacious primary suite features custom closet cabinetry and a bath with dual vanities, jetted soaking tub and separate shower. French doors from the primary suite open to a private front patio finished in travertine marble. Additional French doors from the family room create an easy connection to the long covered and screened lanai, with separate dining and sitting areas overlooking the tranquil pond. A travertine marble driveway adds another distinctive touch to the home’s exterior. Additional features include hurricane glass and a tankless water heater. Located in Landings Woods, Casa de Sueños enjoys a quiet residential setting with exceptional convenience. The Landings Shopping Center is right nearby, offering shopping, dining, fitness, banking and everyday services. Phillippi Shores Elementary and Riverview High School are also remarkably close, while Siesta Key Beach and vibrant downtown Sarasota are just a short drive away. Casa de Sueños offers an exceptional combination of custom architectural character, waterfront living and a location that puts so much of the Sarasota lifestyle within easy reach.
