Real Estate Companies Venice, FL

Welcome to 1310 South Lake Shore Drive. Picture yourself in this nearly 10,697 sq. ft. (plus 4,185 sq, ft. of air-conditioned garages and hobby/storage space) Neo-Classical Italian Renaissance Villa sitting on 1.21 Bayfront acres in Oyster Bay Estates. Featuring panoramic water views, this mainland residence, adjacent to The Field Club, is directly on Little Sarasota Bay (146' frontage). Enter this glamorous walled and gated estate and be instantly transported to a grand villa in Tuscany. The owners traveled extensively throughout Europe to capture the architectural details necessary to create a truly extraordinary "Old World" residence. Then calling upon design ques from Villa del Balbianello (Lake Como) and Casa Casuarina (Gianni Versace) the multiyear restoration and expansion of an already special home was completed in 2020 under the supervision of a classically trained Italian architect. Gracious "public" spaces, four bedrooms, four baths (2 half baths), and extensive outdoor spaces were intently curated to surround you with true Italian luxury. From the hand-wrought gate, highly detailed exterior, Venetian plaster walls, custom moldings with 23 carat gold leaf, hand-painted frescos, unique balustrades, pecky Cypress ceilings to the Clive Christian inspired Kitchen, and accompanying caterer's kitchen, every way your eyes travel brings a new surprise. The magnificent bay views are perfect complements to be enjoyed from inside, extensive terraces, beautiful gardens, or the dock with a 20,000-pound boat lift and accompanying jet ski lifts. This outrageous yet practical residence boasts breathtaking, panoramic views throughout the day and evening. The exterior employs roof tiles imported from Italy, 100-year-old reclaimed Chicago bricks, fallen Florida pecky Cypress wood, and 60 tons of Pennsylvania fieldstone. Unique exterior features include enclosed water sports storage areas, a separate enclosed mechanical room with handmade doors and bronze hardware, a propane-powered generator (separately enclosed with handmade doors and sufficient to run the entire home), an exterior shower area adjoined by a hand-painted Italian fresco, an octagonal covered sitting area and an outdoor bath adjacent to the pool area. The unusual 400 square foot outdoor kitchen is of a unique, submerged design with a 60-inch propane gas grill-concealed and operated by an appliance elevator. The decorative privacy wall spans 657 feet along a handmade adjacent lighted Amalfi-style decorative walkway with gold-leaf private entrance gate to The Club. A 146-foot sea wall discloses a hand-cast Corbels on the outside, a long, large seating area, and spans the entire width of the property for peace of mind. The home is overbuilt with concrete pilasters extending to solid granite and extending to the roof joists. Elements of the legendary mosaic pool by the genius Gianni Versace are displayed in the mosaics in the deck and pool area of the estate. Truly one of-a-kind residence offering gracious living now and for generations to come. Very private, but moments away from all the many cultural venues, restaurants, shopping, medical facilities, and attractions that Sarasota offers. Be prepared to be amazed!
