The Michigan-based couple wanted to create a Sarasota home for large family & friends gatherings and some serious entertaining.
Built for large gatherings and outdoor living, this custom waterfront home blends classic coastal design with refined architectural detailing. The two-story layout features expansive porches supported by tapered columns and exposed rafters, all finished in crisp white with warm wood accents under the eaves.
A deep wraparound balcony and covered lower-level lanai offer sweeping water views. The outdoor living space includes a built-in stone grill station, dining area with a farmhouse-style table, and a pool surrounded by tropical landscaping and tall palms.
Inside, the open living area centers around custom built-ins and a fireplace, with dark wood floors contrasting against light walls and trim. Multiple sets of French doors and transom windows provide natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The interior styling leans traditional, with a focus on comfort.
This home was designed with long-term functionality in mind—balancing private living spaces with multiple entertainment zones both inside and out.
