One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. A truly one-of-a-kind Sarasota Bay waterfront estate set within the private gated enclave of Esplanade on the Bay, offering rare scale, architectural distinction, and 100 feet of direct Sarasota Bay frontage. Encompassing 7,862 square feet under air and 12,088 total square feet, the residence showcases a striking architectural presence shaped by its waterfront setting. Originally featured in a regional architectural publication for its innovative “Tri-Plexity” concept-uniting three distinct architectural ideas into one cohesive waterfront composition-the home reflects a forward-thinking approach to form, vertical volume, and the intentional framing of Sarasota Bay from nearly every room. Upon entering the main living level, sweeping views of Sarasota Bay unfold through expansive walls of glass as the living room rises to 18-foot ceilings and features a fireplace, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame the water and fill the interior with natural light, creating a dramatic yet welcoming atmosphere. From the living room, the home unfolds into surrounding living spaces with the gourmet kitchen positioned at the center of the layout. It features a large center island, professional gas cooktop, premium appliances, and extensive cabinetry arranged to connect seamlessly with the surrounding areas while maintaining views toward Sarasota Bay. Adjacent to the kitchen, a light-filled casual dining space overlooks the bay and opens to a private balcony, creating a beautiful setting for morning coffee or relaxed meals. Beyond the kitchen, a formal dining room provides an elegant setting for gatherings and special occasions and opens to a spacious balcony overlooking Sarasota Bay, complete with a spiral staircase leading to the ground level. Just past the dining room, a seating area with views of Sarasota Bay offers a relaxed place to enjoy the waterfront setting while remaining connected to the surrounding living spaces. This level also includes a private study, a full bathroom, and an additional bedroom. A guest bedroom is positioned in its own wing near the laundry and features a private full bathroom, sitting area, and a separate exterior entrance, creating a private and welcoming guest suite for visitors. The upper level features the expansive primary suite with fireplace and private balcony overlooking Sarasota Bay, ideal for enjoying tranquil water views and spectacular sunsets. Also located on this level are two additional bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, along with a spacious media room with its own bathroom. A private elevator connects the ground, main living, and primary suite levels. The ground level includes a large fitness area, lounge space, and bathroom, along with two attached garages accommodating up to seven vehicles. Outdoor living features a heated saltwater pool and spa within a screened terrace, designed for relaxation and entertaining, with space for outdoor dining and the potential for an outdoor kitchen. A private dock extends from the property's Sarasota Bay frontage, providing convenient access to the water for kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the waterfront lifestyle. Located minutes from IMG Academy, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, shopping, dining, and the beaches of Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key, this extraordinary residence stands as a distinctive architectural waterfront home along Sarasota Bay.
