430 ISLAND CIR, Sarasota, FL 34242

Step back to a time when architecture mattered, when homes were designed to maximize the enjoyment of their owners rather than the profit margins of developers. A time when views, light, and harmony with land and water mattered far more than squeezing a dollar from every available square foot. A time when life at the beach was simple, serene, and restorative to the soul. This home evokes those wonderful times boasting bright and airy gathering spaces for entertaining and family. It is a warm and much needed reprise from the never-ending litany of available “beige boxes” with their standardized paint trim, neutral carpet and Home Depot inspired granite. This is a home with character where wonderful memories have been and will be made. From first sight, you can tell this is a happy place with numerous decks and balconies where one can experience the true indoor/outdoor lifestyle that is the hallmark of island living. Quiet and secluded spaces punctuated by lush tropical foliage, flowering trees and the almost ever-present Gulf breeze can be found at every door. The home’s location on sought after Palm Island makes for walking distance to both the island’s hub, Siesta Key Village and the internationally acclaimed Siesta Key Beach and if the warm aqua waters of the Gulf are not in today’s plan the home is situated on a double lot providing you endless opportunity to create your own pool and oasis between the house and your dock on the Canal de la Plata. *See full remarks posted -click on paperclip icon at top
