Sapphire Shores Real Estate

Build something extraordinary in Sapphire Shores, one of Sarasota's most coveted bayfront neighborhoods, where canopied streets, custom architecture and the open water of Sarasota Bay set an unmistakable tone. This 10,230 square foot homesite is offered as a true blank canvas. The original residence has been removed and the lot cleared and prepped for redevelopment, so you begin with a clean, buildable parcel rather than a demolition project. Better still, municipality-approved building plans are already in place and available to the next owner, a rare head start that can save months of design, review and permitting time, or simply serve as inspiration for a vision entirely your own. Zoned RSF-2 for single-family use with public sewer and electric available at the site, and situated outside a designated flood zone, an increasingly rare combination this close to the water. Just down the street, Sun Circle Park opens to Sarasota Bay, a favorite spot for sunset views and morning walks along the shoreline. The Ringling Museum, the Sarasota Art Museum and New College are minutes away, with downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido Key a short drive south. Whether you are planning a legacy residence or a refined spec build, few opportunities in this corridor pair this caliber of location with approved plans and a site that is ready to go. Buyer and buyer's agent to verify zoning, setbacks, buildable envelope, utility connections and permitting with the City of Sarasota.

Recently featured in Sarasota Magazine...a true piece of architectural history in the heart of Sarasota’s Sapphire Shores community. This classic mid-century ranch was designed by the Zimmermans - renowned members of the Sarasota School of Architecture and significantly renovated by Robert Schennum whose work traces directly back to Taliesin and the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright school. This creates a rare pedigree that design enthusiasts and collectors will immediately recognize. Set on an oversized lot just steps from a serene bayfront park, this three-bedroom, two-bath residence embodies timeless principles with clean lines, an abundance of natural light, long sight lines, huge, picturesque windows bringing the "outside in" and thoughtful spatial flow. Every detail reflects the integrity of its original design, while the home has been meticulously maintained to preserve its character and ensure modern comfort. Unique features include the great room with a soaring ceiling and clerestory windows, the use of grade A clear cypress for accent walls, built in, glass door cabinetry and terrazzo flooring (under carpet) with “mother of pearl” highlights which will sparkle like diamonds if you choose to refinish. There is a spacious 2 car garage with room for a workshop and a large indoor utility room some will call “studio space” as it is currently used to house a number of original canvases painted by the previous owner. The Florida Room opens to a beautifully landscaped and spacious backyard with a shaded gazebo perfect for al-fresco dining or simply enjoying time in the garden. You’ll find plenty of room for a pool if you choose to add. Sapphire Shores is adjacent to some of Sarasota’s most cherished institutions including the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and the Asolo Theater of Performing Arts which is home to Florida Studio Theater and the Sarasota Ballet. Live here and you are just two miles north of downtown Sarasota, moments from world-class dining, arts, and shopping. And just a short drive over the Ringling Bridge lands you in St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key. Architecturally significant homes of this caliber and condition rarely come to market. Whether you're a discerning homeowner or a collector of design, this is a legacy property that transcends trends and stands as a lasting investment in both lifestyle and history.
