One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This true 6 bedroom, 5 bath estate home in Harbor Acres has been reimagined by the craftsmen at Murray Homes, one of Sarasota's preeminent luxury builders along with the vision of designer Sybill Johnson with Blank Canvas Designs. This captivating home is situated on nearly a half-acre of manicured grounds and has the grandeur and curb appeal of a California Mission Style home. A custom solid wood arched doorway with a glass surround welcomes you inside to the grand foyer. You will immediately be in awe of the quality and craftsmanship evident in this home. From the luxurious warm wood floors to the crown molding to the light fixtures and architectural details, every inch of this 5,950 sq ft home has been updated with the fine finishes a discerning buyer desires. To the right of the front entry, an arched doorway leads into the magnificent formal dining room where your family and friends will gather and share meals while creating precious memories. The chef's kitchen is the focus of this home and has a beautiful quartz waterfall island with a breakfast bar that seats 6 in comfort, beamed ceilings, high-end Dacor stainless steel appliances, and a wine wall. The gathering room and breakfast area are an integral part of the living space that seamlessly flows to the kitchen. The family room opens through sliding doors to the backyard private oasis with swaying palm trees surrounding a freeform saltwater pool with a spa. There's a large covered outdoor lanai with a grill and sink that overlooks the pool area, with another above it on the 2nd floor that adjoins several parts of the master suite experience. This reimagined suite is equipped with two walk-in closets, a spa-like master bath, a free-standing tub, a large tiled walk-in shower, and dual sinks. Opposite the master suite, there is another bedroom and bath. This room can also be used as a morning kitchen, office, or entertainment area, so the entire 2nd level can be a private owner's suite. There are nice views of the bay, city, and Ringling Bridge from this level's private front Balcony. A winding staircase outside from this level takes you to a widow's walk for a full view of the bay and Gulf of Mexico...a wonderful place for viewing fireworks or just enjoying a glass of wine or a cocktail while watching the fiery sunset. The four-car garage has an elevator that ascends to the 1st level for the convenience of transporting groceries, suitcases, etc. Another wonderful feature of this home is the lower level which consists of an estimated additional 2500 square feet of finished space and can be used as a recreational area and storage. Harbor Acres with its luxurious properties, proximity to downtown, St Armands, Southside Village, Siesta Key, and Lido Key beaches plus A+ rated schools is truly a stellar choice for your next home. You must see this home to appreciate the quality and attention to every detail it presents. Please ask your Realtor for a list of the key features of this home.
