Wake up to shimmering views, spend your afternoons on the water, and end your evenings watching the Sarasota skyline glow from your private rooftop deck. This is the kind of home that defines the Longboat Key lifestyle. To be built by Brista Homes and designed by Mark Sultana of DSDG Architects, this stunning residence is set on one of the largest canal-front lots in Country Club Shores—approximately 1/3 acre—offering the rare advantage of a true backyard, something rarely found on smaller properties, along with community deeded beach access just moments away. This impressive coastal residence offers an exceptional combination of size, location, and boating access. Positioned just one lot from Sarasota Bay, the setting provides both canal frontage and quick, effortless access to open water. Inside, 4,452 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space spans five bedrooms, five full baths, and two half baths—perfectly suited for hosting family and friends or accommodating extended stays. Architectural highlights include a wine closet beneath the open staircase and a striking two-way fireplace that anchors the main living areas. Private outdoor balconies extend the living space and invite seamless indoor-outdoor living. Two laundry rooms add everyday convenience, while the layout balances openness with privacy, creating a home that feels both grand and livable. This house shines equally outside. A waterfall visible from the front door flows seamlessly into an infinity-edge pool, two outdoor showers – one right outside the master suite, newer seawall, and dock invite spontaneous days on the bay, sunset cruises, and weekends spent exploring the water. Above it all, the rooftop deck steals the show, featuring a private putting green and offering sweeping views of Sarasota Bay and downtown Sarasota, and a front-row seat for sunsets, fireworks, and unforgettable evenings under the stars. Ideally located just minutes from the Longboat Key Club, with membership opportunities and a short drive to the boutiques and dining of St. Armands Circle and vibrant Downtown Sarasota, this home places you at the center of everything that makes Longboat Key so desirable.
