At the heart of the home, the Studio Becker-designed chef’s kitchen boasts Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, and striking blue granite surfaces. Adjacent, a custom media room features an 85-inch television, an 11-speaker Dolby ATMOS sound system, and rich walnut cabinetry for the ultimate cinematic experience.
The owner’s suite is a private retreat with two balconies, three walk-in closets, an 85-inch television, and a spa-inspired bath with dual rain showers and limestone sinks. Throughout the home, you’ll find smart home technology, including motorized Hunter Douglas shades, Wi-Fi-enabled Haiku ceiling fans, CAT-6 cabling, USB charging outlets, and a WaterCop leak detection system. Elegant finishes include 32″ x 32″ imported porcelain tile, flush Italian doors, an art hanging system, and LED recessed lighting.
Located in the prestigious Bay Plaza condominium, residents enjoy 24-hour concierge and valet services, a heated pool, fitness center, EV charging stations, and three deeded parking spaces. Step outside to explore Sarasota’s renowned arts venues, fine dining, and waterfront attractions just moments from your door.
