A private, gated masterpiece where Old Florida romance meets modern coastal luxury. Tucked within the coveted West of the Trail enclave, this exquisitely reimagined estate delivers a rare blend of architectural heritage, refined craftsmanship, and elevated contemporary living. Beyond the stately motorized wrought-iron gate, a sweeping brick-paver drive meanders beneath towering live oaks, setting an unforgettable first impression of timeless elegance and privacy. Wrapped in a freshly painted pecky cypress façade and crowned by a newer standing-seam metal roof, the residence honors classic Florida design while embracing today's luxury standards. Inside, a welcoming foyer unfolds into an airy, open-concept living space anchored by rich natural wood floors and impeccable finishes throughout. A dramatic dual-sided stone fireplace creates a striking focal point between the living and dining areas, while a sophisticated dry bar sets the stage for effortless entertaining. A private office-thoughtfully positioned away from the main living areas-offers flexibility as a refined workspace or guest retreat, complete with an adjacent half bath. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is nothing short of spectacular, featuring premium stainless steel appliances, a natural gas range, custom cabinetry, designer backsplash, and an oversized marble island that commands attention. A built-in coffee bar adds a touch of indulgence, while French doors invite the outdoors in. Step into a resort-inspired sanctuary where a heated saltwater pool and spa shimmer beneath a newly installed panoramic screen enclosure. Entertain with ease in the fully equipped summer kitchen, complete with stainless gas grill, vent hood, and prep station, or gather around the gas fire pit for evenings under the palms. A newly updated outdoor shower with hot and cold water enhances the spa-like ambiance, while the expansive, lushly landscaped yard offers exceptional privacy and room to relax, play, or unwind. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring three generous closets, a cozy fireplace, and French doors opening directly to the lanai for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The spa-inspired en-suite bath showcases luxurious finishes, custom vanities, and a walk-in shower designed for pure relaxation. Additional highlights include a spacious laundry room, oversized two-car garage, and curated architectural lighting that bathes the estate in a warm, elegant glow at dusk. Perfectly located just minutes from the Siesta Key North Bridge and the boutiques and dining of Southside Village, this property offers the rare balance of serene seclusion and coastal convenience. Situated outside of a flood zone-with flood insurance optional-this estate represents both luxury and peace of mind.
