One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Under Construction. Finally, coming to market is Michael Halflant’s multiple award winning, ground breaking 6 unit design. This complex, visually arresting structure manages to combine a dynamic, engaging architectural whole with discrete, serene and calming individual homes that both share communal spaces and that offer privacy and a profound quiet in the midst of the chic, bohemian Rosemary District in downtown Sarasota. Clean smooth pathways lead between units, supporting chance encounters with neighbors, enclosed rooftop terraces envelop you in elevated moments. High above the teeming life below swirling, floating sea-birds talk to city rooftops and the secret conversation whispers above the bustling life beneath. The Great Room of this home is breath-taking. Ceilings layer laterally as the eye climbs up, past the 21 foot ceiling, up past the 2nd floor, up to the very top of the building. Light from the wall of glass on the uppermost floor streams in cascading down the home to fuse with the wall of light in the Great Room filling the vast space with the uniquely soft, white Florida sunlight .The kitchen is to the left with gleaming 3" thick slabs of quartz, an oversized island overlooks a spacious family room and a dining area leads out through sliding glass panels to the first of your private garden terraces.
