Boasting 3,127 square feet under air, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom layout includes an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) above the detached garage—perfect for guests, extended family, or even a home office. Designed by the renowned Visbeen Architects, with interiors curated by Murray Homes, this residence captures the essence of relaxed Florida living, while offering all the modern comforts and conveniences discerning homeowners expect.

From the moment you step into the private courtyard, you’ll be greeted by a blend of timeless architecture and contemporary design elements. The “Transitional” style thoughtfully balances classic lines with fresh, modern touches, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere both inside and out. Expansive windows bathe the interior in Florida sunshine, further enhancing the open-plan concept that seamlessly connects living, dining, and outdoor spaces. Whether you’re hosting a soirée or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this carefully considered layout allows for fluid entertaining and effortless daily living.
The heart of the home is the chef-inspired kitchen, complete with top-of-the-line appliances, bespoke cabinetry, and generous counter space for food preparation and casual gatherings. From here, you can step out onto the courtyard, which is designed as an outdoor sanctuary—ideal for dining al fresco, lounging by a future pool, or simply savoring the lush tropical surroundings. Upstairs, the luxurious owners’ suite provides a tranquil retreat, accompanied by spacious additional bedrooms that can easily be adapted to a variety of lifestyle needs. Meanwhile, the ADU above the garage offers remarkable flexibility, whether for multi-generational living or as a self-contained studio.

Beyond the impeccable craftsmanship and cutting-edge design, the home’s location in Gillespie Park offers the best of Sarasota living. This vibrant neighborhood, located on the northeast side of downtown, is known for its tree-lined streets, friendly community feel, and close proximity to cultural hotspots, dining, and shopping.
