You'll love this Sarasota Modern home's clean geometry and crisp lines, hallmarks of Sarasota School of Architecture Modernism. The owners worked with Todd Sweet, AIA and Founder of Sarasota's Sweet Sparkman Architects, to create a special home with a strong relationship with the outdoors, featuring glass walls, terrazzo floors, wide overhangs, strong cross ventilation, and rooms opening directly to nature. Inside, the public spaces are arranged in an open plan that includes living room, dining room and kitchen, and two bedrooms with walk-in closets. One bedroom is set up as a study/office. The primary bedroom is completely open to nature, and has a walk-in closet, glass block and mosaic tile bath featuring pocket doors, sliding mirror to the outdoors with views of Lake Uplands, and a large walk-in shower with sliding glass doors that lead out to the secret garden. Surprise! There is a big walk-in wine cooler with built-in floor-to-ceiling shelving, and the guest bath's unique tile pattern is based on Conway's Game of Life. The fenced yard encloses a secret garden which surrounds the private sides of the home, assuring beautiful uninterrupted views of nature from inside. The 112-by-89-foot large lot features natural Florida plants and trees, and was designed by Jojo Lindquist to completely surround the house. This home is hidden away in the Uplands, an historic early neighborhood in the Museum/University district that includes The Ringling College of Art and Design, New College of Florida, the University of South Florida, and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art. Note, this property is not in a flood zone. Floor plan, current survey and elevation certificate are available for your kind review.
