1222 CENTER PL, Sarasota, FL 34236

Charm and history abound at this well-maintained, updated three-bedroom plus office mid-century modern in the private community of Lido Shores. Lush tropical foliage surrounds this home, which was designed by famed architect Erwin Gremli II and was once the guest quarters for Dr. Marion Hoppin, a founding member of New College. The current owners have meticulously upgraded this residence inside and out. Newer features include a new roof (2012), cedar wood exterior siding, three-car garage with air-conditioned bonus space (currently being used as a workout room), new windows and sliders, new bathrooms with custom tile work and much more. Seashell and pebbled walkways lead to lovely courtyard space on either side of the home. Oversized tile flooring, walls of glass sliders and a skylight enhance the light and bright atmosphere of the living/dining room. A few steps away is the updated kitchen, offering granite countertops, solid-wood cabinetry with glass cutouts, built-in double ovens and newer lighting. The raised media room features 15’ form-plaster ceiling with tray lighting, beautifully restored oak wood flooring, built-in surround sound and seamless glass sliders that open to the pool deck. You will love the generous, spa-inspired marble bathroom, four closets, 12’ ceilings and clear-story windows in the master suite. Two guest bedrooms share a brand-new bathroom and summer kitchen. Relax the day away and entertain with ease on the quarry-tiled lanai with swimming pool, heated spa and outdoor shower.
