Mid-Century modern architecture lovers alert! Discover serenity in this meticulously designed mid-century modern gem, a stunning residence where architecture meets nature. Architect G. Kent Keech crafted this masterpiece for his family while working with Sarasota’s famed Seibert Architects. Artful geometry, expansive glass walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, floating cabinets and an openness to nature are just a few of the mid-century details. Nestled on a quiet, private lane, the home rests on a lush one-acre parcel. Yet, it is only minutes from downtown, restaurants, golf courses, beaches, shops and top-quality health care. Enter through the impressive double doors and step inside to an abundance of natural light and gorgeous Philippine shell stone floors throughout. To the right, you’ll find the open living, dining and kitchen areas anchored by a gas fireplace at one end and an updated kitchen with floating cabinets and a professional range at the other. The rolling walls of glass blur the lines between inside and outside and reveal a gorgeous screened 39′ x 30′ travertine outdoor living area with a 24′ x 12′ saltwater pool featuring a PebbleTec surface, fountains and lush plantings. Down the art gallery-like hallway, you’ll find three bedrooms, each with its own character. Two feature private screened porches, while the primary ensuite bedroom boasts an impressive, updated bath and large walk-in closet. The circular drive leads to an oversized, two-car garage with a vast workbench area. The charming outdoor shower is off the garage, perfect for cleaning up after a day at the beach or enjoying refreshing moments in nature. This property is not in a Flood Zone. The rest of the property remains delightfully natural, with a blend of natural Florida habitat for privacy, stately pine trees, specimen bamboo and a pond. There is plenty of room for gardens or whatever else you desire. This home is more than architecture – it’s an inspiration. What will you create here?
