You will fall in love with this iconic midcentury-modern home, nestled within the most expensive neighborhood in Sarasota on the island of St. Armands. Originally built during the heyday of the Sarasota School of Architecture in the Lamolithic style, this beautiful piece of art and architecture was co-created by Sarasota's "Designer's Designer," Norman Hervieux. Once inside the property's privacy walls, you'll be delighted by the home's lush foliage, mature tropical gardens and travertine patio with its relaxed outdoor living and dining spaces and a built-in outdoor fireplace surrounded by a spectacular curved heated pool. Stepping inside the blue glass doors, you'll explore this home's exciting spaces for entertaining, dining and relaxing in the living room and media areas, plus a beautiful, top-of-the-line modern kitchen with luxury appliances. The wall of built-in bookshelves designed by Hugh Newell Jacobsen stays with the house. All floors throughout the home are polished terrazzo and granite. There are four bedrooms and three baths designed with artistry and style, and each room invites you back outdoors with private porches and tropical garden views. St. Armands is a beachfront community famous for its historic circle, filled with restaurants, boutiques, unique shops and entertainment. This home is a short stroll away from the circle, its island beaches, marina and downtown Sarasota. Its full hurricane protection includes impact windows, doors and sliders and a brand-new roof in 2023. There's so much more to discover about this property. Come and experience it today.
