This home was designed with the realities of coastal living very much in mind. After the 2024 hurricanes, resilience was not a secondary conversation — it shaped the entire approach. The goal was to create a bayfront home that feels warm, open, and personal, with views toward Longboat Key and downtown Sarasota, while elevating the main living spaces and using impact-resistant construction to give the owners long-term confidence.
Set along the coveted waterfront of Indian Beach Sapphire Shores, this luxury, custom residence by Murray Homes is a striking expression of island contemporary design infused with Moroccan warmth. Designed in response to the 2024 hurricanes, this elevated, impact-resistant home prioritizes beauty, durability, and indoor-outdoor living, capturing panoramic views toward Longboat Key and downtown Sarasota while redefining modern coastal resilience.
