This mid-century modern gem was designed by architect John E. Piercy (known for designing the Bobby Jones Golf Club Clubhouse in 1971). Piercy designed the home specifically for this oversized lot in the centrally located Old Forest Lakes neighborhood. Abundant large windows and sliding pocket doors are positioned to maximize natural light throughout the day. With over 2,600 sq ft under air plus a 1,000 sq feet lanai there is abundant space for a true indoor/outdoor lifestyle. The custom architecture includes flexible living spaces that can be easily furnished for your family’s needs while also creating the perfect space for hosting. Open the sliding pocket doors to expand your living space (and open the windows for the perfect cross-breeze that mid-century design is famous for). In the newly renovated kitchen and butler’s pantry you will find custom designed and custom built solid-wood cabinetry, complete with soft close mechanisms, and Quartz countertops. Custom lighting in both spaces ensures that you have the perfect light for each task from prepping coffee to hosting a soiree. The 1,000 sq ft wrap-around lanai features a large pool and provides space for swimming, dining, lounging, cooking, and hosting throughout the year. The home is centered on an oversized corner lot providing extensive private outdoor space and room for any outdoor activity. There is plenty of space, too, for classic cars, boats, and RVs. The metal roof was replaced in 2009, sewer to main house was installed in 2009. Outside of a flood risk area, yet convenient to the beach, the home has sustained no hurricane damage. The Old Forest Lakes neighborhood is known for its estate homes on oversized lots with no deed restrictions. The neighborhood is within 15 minutes of Siesta Key, Downtown Sarasota, and University Town Center. The multi-use Legacy Trail is under 0.5 from the home and offers a bicycle and pedestrian-friendly path north into downtown Sarasota or south to Venice (with the Bee Ridge overpass opening soon).
