An Exquisite Compound-Style Residence in Indian Beach Sapphire Shores
Situated in one of Sarasota’s most desirable West of Trail neighborhoods, this 5,712-square-foot home on a half-acre lot was meticulously renovated and expanded to blend timeless style with practical functionality. Purpose-built for multi-generational living, the property now features an array of structural, interior, and exterior improvements that enhance both comfort and visual appeal.
Significant transformations took place throughout the home’s interior, beginning with a complete master bathroom remodel. This involved a new design layout, updated plumbing fixtures, custom cabinetry, modern countertops, and improved waterproofing and ventilation to prevent future moisture concerns. In the kitchen, every element—from cabinetry and countertops to the backsplash and appliances—was refreshed to enhance both storage and workflow, resulting in a sleek yet welcoming culinary space.
Another key interior undertaking was the redesign of the fireplace wall, which included demolishing the existing structure and creating a new feature clad in wood veneer. This installation accommodates a stylish mantle and built-ins, contributing both functionality and an eye-catching focal point. Finally, all main living spaces received flooring updates, replacing old materials with hardwood, tile, or luxury vinyl. Any necessary subfloor repairs or reinforcements were also addressed, ensuring a stable foundation for years to come.
Addressing underlying concerns, the project team undertook a comprehensive mold and rot remediation effort. This process involved identifying and removing compromised areas within drywall, insulation, and framing, followed by specialized treatment of the crawl space to improve drainage, seal moisture, and prevent future water damage. The parapets were another essential component of the structural improvements, requiring complete reconstruction to ensure the home’s envelope remained secure and weather-resistant. These targeted efforts not only resolved existing issues but also fortified the residence against potential problems down the line.
The home’s exterior received an array of updates aimed at both practicality and curb appeal. Fresh stucco was applied to create a cohesive façade, followed by a high-quality exterior paint for durability and aesthetic enhancement. Landscaping and hardscaping improvements in both the front and backyard complemented these updates, introducing refined walkways, an improved driveway, and strategic plantings that harmonize with the property’s architectural style. The existing deck also underwent a full replacement, featuring new Trex decking on the platform and steps, while rescreening added an extra layer of comfort for outdoor living.
One of the most notable enhancements is the newly constructed 620-square-foot pool house, designed to serve as a functional and stylish extension of the main residence. Equipped with a full bathroom, appropriate plumbing and electrical systems, and its own HVAC, this standalone structure integrates seamlessly with the existing pool and outdoor living space. Careful attention was given to the exterior finishes—such as stucco, roofing, and paint—ensuring the pool house either matches or complements the main home. As a result, homeowners and guests enjoy a private retreat that celebrates Sarasota’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
These carefully orchestrated renovations and additions reflect a commitment to both form and function, culminating in an estate that meets the diverse needs of a multi-generational household. From the master bathroom and kitchen overhauls to structural repairs and a new pool house, each element of the project was approached with precision, respect for the home’s character, and a vision of enduring quality. The result is a beautifully revitalized residence that epitomizes Sarasota living at its finest.
