This 1958 midcentury-modern home has never looked so hip and has just been classically transformed into a showstopper by the renowned American Society of Interior Designers interior designer Kurt Lucas of JKL Design Group. This is his personal residence. It's the most stylish, fashionable and trendsetting residential property currently on the local market. From the moment you enter this contemporary home, you're met with sweeping elegance and sophistication. This couture property features Kahrs French oak plank wood flooring throughout, a towering two-story family room with cedar-clad vaulted beam ceilings, a log-burning fireplace with a massive hand-riveted brass firebox hood, an expansive new entertainment kitchen with a 16-foot island, a circular fabric-stitched dining booth, a built-in raised cocktail bar with liquor display and more. The home also has new windows, new electrical panels and a new roof. Downstairs there are two spacious living rooms, two entry foyers, two private bedrooms and two formal baths. The entire ground floor is wide open, bright, cheerful and airy. One of the many gorgeous features is an original monorail circular staircase that elevates you to the second level. Upstairs there is an expansive master bedroom suite that features a built-in beverage bar and workstation, along with a grand wardrobe room that's 24-feet long with endless shelves, hanging space, storage bins and a concealed closet. Step into the master bath, and the feeling is luxurious, you will find a Drummonds of U.K. chrome and glass free-standing step-up shower, a sleek European-style Penhaglion cast iron soaking tub, exquisite wall coverings and tile work. To store your vehicles, there's ample garaging for two-and-a-half-cars, plus space for a project bench and storage. Then step outside into the secure fenced-in yard where there is a large patio area, room for seating and dining, along with provisional space for a future lap pool and outdoor kitchen. If you would love to own a beautifully appointed designer home that you can't wait to return to every day, this is the perfect residence for you. It's located in an up-and-coming area that will see lots of redevelopment, and it's close to Siesta Beach, shopping malls, great restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters, downtown Sarasota and all that Southwest Florida has to offer. Make it a point to see this stunning midcentury modern residence while it's still available.
