About this home
One of Sarasota’s greatest bayfront estates, this stunning 1.38 acre waterfront home has recently undergone a comprehensive renovation throughout, enhancing every room with refined finishes and modern systems while preserving its timeless architectural character. Hidden away at the end of Southwest Drive within the coveted Cherokee Park neighborhood, this 5-bedroom home offers exceptional seclusion and privacy, surrounded by lush, verdant landscaping, specimen trees and mature oaks, with tranquil water views providing a serene backdrop throughout the entire home. A masterpiece by design, this architectural gem was designed by esteemed architect Clifford Scholtz and built with impeccable craftsmanship by Rich Perrone of Perrone Construction. Among the recent exterior improvements are a new roof and gutters, fresh exterior paint, new decorative landscape lighting, and a refreshed outdoor shower. Inside, thoughtfully curated modern finishes and updates seamlessly blend with classic architectural details such as columns, archways, and a mahogany-paneled office, creating interiors that feel bright, open, and timeless. New European white oak flooring flows through the main living areas, while Stark carpeting adds warmth to the staircase, select bedrooms, and the bonus room. A culinary enthusiast’s dream, the completely updated kitchen boasts Taj Mahal leathered stone countertops, White Haze dolomite backsplash, a micro cement hood, painted cabinetry, an oversized island, new sinks and faucets, a Sub-Zero fridge/freezer, and more. The charming breakfast area and adjacent family room, featuring a new micro cement fireplace with Taj Mahal hearth, are set against a backdrop of expansive windows and glass doors that capture picturesque bay views. A luxurious and peaceful retreat, the elaborate primary suite features a beautifully updated bath showcasing new vanities with Taj Mahal countertops and Brizo fixtures, plus new flooring, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Secondary baths throughout the home have also been refreshed. Covered patios and loggias extend from the main living areas, creating ideal spaces for relaxation and enjoyment. Upstairs, the expansive gathering room impresses with its custom Perla Venata quartzite bar, freshly painted ceiling beams, large windows, and balcony access overlooking the bay, pool, and lush grounds. This is the perfect perch to enjoy large gatherings, relax at the bar, shoot pool, or have friends and family over on game day. Outside, the property unfolds as a private oasis, with a screened porch featuring Chicago brick pavers, a Wolf gas grill, Sub-Zero fridge, and refreshed finishes including a tiled backsplash, updated hardware, new sink and faucet, and refinished cabinetry. Chicago brick pavers also surround the free-form pool, creating a cohesive outdoor living environment. At the water’s edge, boaters will delight in the protected deep-water boat basin with two lifts (10,000-lb. and 16,000-lb. capacities), providing effortless maritime adventures. A detached oversized 3-car garage, connected by a covered walkway, provides ample space for storage or workshop use. Additional updates of note include updated HVAC systems, tankless water heaters, and modernized electrical throughout. A whole house generator rounds out the superlative systems. This exquisitely updated estate represents a rare offering where timeless elegance meets modern sophistication on one of Sarasota's most extraordinary waterfront settings.
