Wood-trimmed windows, doors and millwork, tray ceilings, recessed lighting, large-format tile flooring and extensive custom cabinetry create a warm yet elevated atmosphere. The open-concept layout is anchored by a spacious great room featuring a built-in gas fireplace, custom entertainment wall and expansive sliding glass doors that create seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen is designed for both entertaining and everyday living with a Viking dual-oven gas range with integrated griddle and char broiler, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, custom wood cabinetry, decorative copper lighting, integrated wine storage, center island with prep sink and a waterfront breakfast nook with terrace access. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with French doors to outdoor living areas, water and pool views, a custom walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath featuring a Jacuzzi tub, dual vanities and an oversized walk-in shower. Additional spaces include a private office, guest suite and flexible bonus/game room complete with projector screen, surround sound system, wet bar, beverage refrigerator and French doors opening to the outdoor areas. Outdoor living is thoughtfully designed with an upper-level covered waterfront terrace, raised spa, screen-enclosed resort-style pool terrace, multiple lounge areas and tropical landscaping overlooking the water.

Completing the property is an attached 2-car garage and a rare detached air-conditioned garage complex with capacity for up to 7 vehicles, workshop space, office area and extensive storage for boats, golf carts, trailers and recreational equipment. The property presents a potential opportunity for future division into two distinct waterfront homesites, each benefiting from approximately 100 feet of water-frontage. The northern parcel would encompass the existing residence and detached garage complex, while the southern parcel offers the potential for a premier bayfront homesite. Beyond its exceptional development potential, the estate delivers deep-water boating access, expansive garage capacity and thoughtfully designed indoor-outdoor living. The property is just moments from waterfront dining, marinas and beaches that define the Gulf Coast lifestyle. Nokomis Beach, Venice Island, Legacy Trail, Casey Key, Oscar Scherer State Park and downtown Venice are all nearby, while quick access to Sarasota, the barrier islands and Interstate 75 allow for effortless travel throughout the region. Combining acreage, waterfrontage, boating infrastructure and exceptional garage capacity, this is a rare opportunity to experience the best of Florida waterfront living.
