Stunning Bayfront gated masterpiece built in 2006 and located on Casey Key in Sarasota one of the most exclusive barrier islands on the west coast of Florida. Modeled after an 18th Century Tuscan mansion all of the finishes were imported and many were hand carved, including the wooden doors, cabinetry, stone columns and even the stone sinks. The European style Interior Grand Courtyard greets you with a 26 foot illuminated beamed ceiling and a 12 foot hand carved stone fireplace plus expansive views of the Infinity Pool, dock, Little Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway beyond. The spectacular kitchen and family room are very inviting with gorgeous hand carved wooden cabinetry, a gas stove, large walk-in pantry, multiple dishwashers, three sinks and the same expansive bay views.
