Remarks: Exquisitely restored 1926 residence in Sarasota’s historic Museum Area west of the Trail. This architectural gem is one of just 13 original platted homes in the historic Sapphire Shores subdivision. Originally built for John Ringling’s circus talent scout, this home represents one of the best examples of true Mediterranean Revival architecture on the market. Set on an oversized 0.40-acre double lot located out of the flood zone and at 15 feet of elevation, this 3,100 sq ft home comprises 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms plus a sunroom/den in the main house and a 1 bedroom 1 bath detached guest house - 3,100 sq ft in total. The home is located on one of the coveted wide streets leading to the bayfront park. The traditional Mediterranean façade is framed with lush landscaping and a circular reclaimed brick driveway leading up to a beautiful arched entryway. The current owners have invested extraordinary time, vision, and craftsmanship into restoring and refining this 101-year-old architectural treasure. True to its historic character with its elegant arched doorways to intricate tilework and exposed original tile brick, the home also benefits from thoughtful updates that support modern living without compromising its integrity. An extensive 2017 remodel created a bigger kitchen, added a butler’s pantry/laundry room, new roof, new plumbing and electric, and new bathrooms. The owners added approximately 2,000 sq ft of outdoor living space with a beautiful Spanish-inspired covered lanai with space for eating, lounging and entertaining and a large pool deck with panoramic screens. The yard is a true gardener’s paradise, featuring multiple curated garden beds, a wide variety of plant and tree species, and a beautifully designed succulent garden bordering the front of the home. The two-car garage is currently used as a workshop/workout room but can be easily converted back to a garage.

This beautiful home is located just south of the Ringling Museum and Asolo Theater and is a short walk from a beautiful neighborhood park by the bay where locals gather to fish, watch the sunset, practice yoga and walk their dogs.

Remarks: An exceptional opportunity to own a true piece of architectural history in the heart of Sarasota’s Sapphire Shores community. This classic mid-century ranch was designed by the Zimmermans - renowned members of the Sarasota School of Architecture and significantly renovated by Robert Schennum whose work traces directly back to Taliesen and the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright school. This creates a rare pedigree that design enthusiasts and collectors will immediately recognize. Set on an oversized lot just steps from a serene bayfront park, this three-bedroom, two-bath residence embodies timeless principles with clean lines, an abundance of natural light, long sight lines, huge picturesque windows bringing the "outside in" and thoughtful spatial flow. Every detail reflects the integrity of its original design, while the home has been meticulously maintained to preserve its character and ensure modern comfort. Unique features include the great room with a soaring ceiling and clerestory windows, the use of grade A clear cypress for accent walls, built in, glass door cabinetry and terrazzo flooring (under carpet) with “mother of pearl” highlights which will sparkle like diamonds if you choose to refinish. There is a spacious 2 car garage with room for a workshop and a large indoor utility room some will call “studio space” as it is currently used to house a number of original canvases painted by the previous owner. The Florida Room opens to a beautifully landscaped and spacious backyard with a shaded gazebo perfect for al-fresco dining or simply enjoying time in the garden. You’ll find plenty of room for a pool if you choose to add. Sapphire Shores is adjacent to some of Sarasota’s most cherished institutions including the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and the Asolo Theater of Performing Arts which is home to Florida Studio Theater and the Sarasota Ballet. Live here and you are just two miles north of downtown Sarasota, moments from world-class dining, arts, and shopping. And just a short drive over the Ringling Bridge lands you in St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key. Architecturally significant homes of this caliber and condition rarely come to market. Whether you're a discerning homeowner or a collector of design, this is a legacy property that transcends trends and stands as a lasting investment in both lifestyle and history.

Remarks: World-renowned as Florida’s cultural coast, Sarasota’s heritage of culture and the arts provides a distinguished backdrop for its newest architectural tour de force – Lunara. Set in Sapphire Shores, one of Sarasota’s most historic and culturally rich neighborhoods, the location is quintessentially Sarasota. This prized location, originally chosen by one of the city's foremost visionaries for his own Ca' d'Zan mansion, commands what are widely regarded as the city's best views, with sweeping panoramas of Sarasota Bay, the downtown skyline, and the landmark Ringling Bridge. Steeped in a tradition of the future, Lunara transforms state-of-the-art materials from around the world through the enduring craft of local artisans. Designed by Mark Sultana of DSDG Architects and built by Michael Voigt of Voigt Brothers Construction, the residence reveals itself with dramatic geometry and floating planes. Every angle captures the shimmer of water, every surface plays with light, and every room welcomes you into a life surrounded by beauty. The heart of the home opens with dramatic presence — the 11-foot pivot entry door leads to a soaring double-height living space, where an 11-foot automated glass wall extends to an equally lofty trellised sun deck. Despite its scale, the residence feels warm and personal, thanks to a no-hallway design directive that connects each area with purposeful flow. The impressive entertainment bar, which features floating liquor display shelves and a climate-controlled wine display, stands distinct yet linked to the ultra-high-end kitchen, which includes a retractable pass-through to a concealed prep kitchen. Outside, the al-fresco kitchen and pool deck share the same floor level as the interior, creating a connected indoor-outdoor living experience that amplifies the home’s spacious elegance. Lunara’s pleasures are abundant, anchored by amenities that blend function with imagination. A two-level swimming pool cascades from infinity edge to lap lane, offering a visual spectacle as much as a place for play or exercise. The glass elevator, tallest of its kind in a Sarasota residence, glides between levels with clarity and grace. The 10-car garage is designed to be more than just storage with bay-facing sliding glass doors that invite fresh breezes, natural light and a perfect view to enjoy while caring for your prized collection. The rooftop deck, a stage for Sarasota’s sunsets, invites leisure and entertainment in equal measure, complete with a putting green, fire pit and a flex space adaptable to yoga at dawn or cocktails at dusk. Even the practical touches are elevated – a dedicated “Christmas tree closet”, concealed floor-to-ceiling doors, and a movable wall of privacy glass that transforms the primary bath into either open vista or private retreat. Beyond prestige, the best of Sarasota is always close at hand. Within one mile you’ll find SRQ International Airport and The Ringling Museum. Downtown Sarasota, The Bay park, and Marina Jack are just five miles away, with Sarasota Memorial Hospital, St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach within six miles. IMG Sports Academy and St. Stephens School are within eight miles from your door. It is rare to find a residence that is at once a work of art and a place of retreat, where scale feels human and luxury feels livable. In Lunara, architecture becomes lifestyle, and lifestyle becomes sanctuary. This is a home that does not merely impress, it endures.
