3465 GULFMEAD DRIVESARASOTA, FL 34242
On north end of Siesta Key, this custom-built residence is surrounded by lush tropical foliage and mature coconut palms along a deep-water canal just off Big Pass. Solid 8-foot mahogany Borano doors establish a sense of arrival that hints at the elevated craftsmanship found throughout. Oversized glass doors dissolve boundaries between the coastal-inspired interiors and the tropical landscape. Designed for privacy and versatility, the home features five bedrooms with en suites, each with its terrace, including an oversized main-level suite configured as a family room. Ideal for multigenerational living or guest accommodations, this home is easily accessible via an elevator that connects all three levels from the garage. Its elevated position, hurricane-rated windows and doors, and full-home generator provide robust protection. During hurricanes, these features worked in concert to prevent water intrusion and interior damage, according to the owner, reflecting a commitment to structural integrity and uninterrupted comfort. The chef’s kitchen blends form and function with premium appliances by GE Monogram and Fisher & Paykel, a six-burner gas cooktop, double ovens, a butler’s pantry, beverage station, prep sink and premium stone surfaces. Pocketing glass doors extend the living space outdoors to a summer kitchen equipped with a basin, new stainless steel grill, range hood, refrigerator, ice maker and TV. Main-level rooms include a laundry area, a dining room and a den with oversized bookshelves that inspire greatness. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a midnight bar with a sink and refrigerator, a fireplace and French doors that open to an oversized terrace with water views. A generously sized closet includes a second washer and dryer and opens to a second private terrace. Also, on this level there are three additional well-appointed bedrooms with en suites. Outdoor amenities include a 13,000-pound lift, composite dock with water and electric, plastic interlock concrete seawall, fire feature with seating area, and a self-cleaning PebbleTec saltwater pool and spa with travertine coping and artificial turf bordered by tropical flowerbeds. Additional features include a large storage area suitable for kayaks and water toys, three garage stalls with epoxy-coated floors, a Porsche electric car-charging station, automated landscape lighting, architectural-grade metal fencing, whole-house water filtration, central vacuum, a security system and in-wall pest control.
