Featured in Style Magazine as “the jewel of Sapphire Shores,” the renovation of this residence, an art lover’s dream, with its open plan, beamed cathedral ceilings, and minimalist sculpture garden, brings it into the fresh feeling of mid-century modern architecture. Everyone who enters this enchanting space describes it as ‘perfect’ and a tribute to the architectural school that dominated an important movement of mid-century America. Entrance to the oversized property is highlighted by the towering Banyan tree, featured with artistic landscape lighting. The residence is sited deep into the property and you notice the absence of turf alongside the Florida friendly landscape. The triangular roof line is accentuated by clerestory windows, with contemporary sculpture framing the front porch and bamboo front door. Once inside, the sight lines are drawn through the foyer, to the kitchen’s U-shaped layout, and features a large oak island and the impressive La Cornue range and stainless appliances. The generous master suite occupies one entire wing of the residence with an oversized custom closet; the master bath’s smart design includes contemporary custom wall cabinetry that is both functional and artistic. Two additional guest suites are situated on the opposite side of the residence, each with private access to enjoy the outdoor spaces. The living area features track lighting, and a gas fireplace with a bronze hood, flanked by two sets of French doors leading to the screened lanai where you can enjoy outdoor dining in a secluded setting. Extensive new landscape lighting, mature fishtail palms, pitch apple, and strategically placed coconut palms add to the property’s oasis-like, completely private garden. The outdoor space is perfectly suited for entertaining, with pool decking large enough to accommodate outdoor dinner parties, bar, or buffet. A separate building provides space to utilize as exercise room, office, guest ensuite, and is thought to once have been used as a potter’s studio. Completing the package is the detached 2-car garage entered from the rear of the property, with a covered breezeway connecting the garage and guest house to the main residence. Brywill Circle is a superb location from which to enjoy all of Sarasota’s cultural experiences, whether you want the vibe of downtown's galleries, boutiques, restaurants, the dining/walk around experience at St Armands Circle, or the beaches of Lido Key and Longboat Key. Convenient to SRQ airport, Dolphin Aviation, Rectrix Aerodrome Center, the airport facilities provide access and maintenance for every size aircraft. The Ringling Museum complex, one of the most acclaimed in the United States, and Asolo Rep Theatre, routinely producing Broadway bound productions, are four minutes away. New College, USF and Ringling College of Art and Design are nearby, and the world-renowned IMG Academy is a convenient drive away.
