Sarasota Waterfront Residence
This luxury waterfront residence in Sarasota, Florida was thoughtfully completed with full-service furnishings and styling, transforming a beautifully crafted custom home into a warm, refined retreat. Designed as a turnkey second home, every space was carefully layered with furnishings, custom details, artwork, and accessories to create an environment that feels both elevated and effortlessly livable from the moment the homeowner arrives.
Throughout the home, a sophisticated blend of updated traditional and coastal design creates a timeless aesthetic. Architectural moments—including a custom-designed fireplace wall flanked by striking bookcases, a richly tailored home office, and serene primary suite—are complemented by thoughtfully curated furnishings, layered textures, and collected décor that reflect the homeowners’ lifestyle and personality. Entertaining was central to the design, with expansive indoor gathering spaces flowing seamlessly to the outdoor living areas overlooking the pool, canal, and Gulf access.
From the statement powder room to the welcoming guest suites and private casita, every room was intentionally designed to feel complete, comfortable, and enduring. The result is a fully realized waterfront home that balances luxury with livability, offering a sophisticated yet inviting backdrop for everyday living, entertaining, and years of memorable coastal escapes.
