Introducing Casa Flamingo, a magnificent work of art that doubles as a masterpiece home. This extraordinary residence is situated on nearly an acre of tropical paradise on the coveted north end of Siesta Key within the Hanson Bayou (deep protected boating water) and less than 100 yards from the azure waters of Sarasota Bay, Big Pass and the Gulf of Mexico. Custom-built and one-of-a-kind, it took several years to find the most discerning materials and finishes to complete this home in 2019. The residence features a spectacular entrance with 10-foot-tall mahogany double doors framed by nearly 24 feet of hand-carved Cantera Stone pillars. Once inside, you are greeted by the 45-foot-long courtyard lap pool reminiscent of a Roman bath. Adorned by a tile edge that looks like crown jewels, the pool is designed with two entertainment areas, including a bar and a mahogany pool table, comprising the nearly 5,600 feet of covered living area. Stately iron hurricane doors enclose the pool and lower area. The spacious, open great room plan features an adjoining casual dining area and gourmet-inspired kitchen with thick Blue Azul granite counter tops, Blue Star professional stove and oven, and Multiere 45" stainless steel kitchen sink with deluxe accessories. Just off the great room is the balcony designed for entertaining guests and alfresco dining, overlooking the wide-flowing canal. The master suite features three custom chandeliers, a spacious closet with custom cabinetry, and a luxurious master bathroom with an oversized glass shower. The guest wing has two bedrooms with custom closets and a balcony. As an extra, the rooftop was designed to accommodate a putting green, bocce court, garden and a relaxing sun deck with cabana. The garage features three separate oversized doors allowing for ease of entry and capable of housing the largest SUV with a cargo box. The detached guest house offers a bedroom, as well as great room, kitchen and balcony, and is situated above the arched entryway of the home with two storage areas.
