320 S SHORE DRIVE

Perfectly positioned at the apex of Stephens Point is an award winning 3 bedroom plus office, 3 bath architectural achievement...a beacon to modern design, with sharp planes and high drama that offers 120' of water frontage, infinite water views, and stunning, unobstructed sunsets over North Sarasota Bay. Completely transformed in 1992 by award-winning architect Michael Shepherd, and extensively updated by the current owner in 2020-2022, the residence is a testament to open concept design, where natural light flows freely within the space bringing the outside into the home. Recent noteworthy additions and improvements include: hurricane rated windows and sliding doors throughout with an added layer of UV/hurricane rated film, remote controlled Kevlar retractable hurricane panels which provide a clear view from the interior, total privacy from the outside, and sun protection, metal roof, skylights, pool pump and heater, 2 water heaters including 1 instant hot, 3 20 SEER HVAC units, exterior lighting and LED interior lighting. Designer upgrades include stunning new hurricane rated all glass foyer atrium, magnificent indoor/outdoor clear roof spa in the owners suite bath with deep soaking tub, soft gray palette riverstone flooring, and stainless Embather dual rain head shower fixtures, and a reimagined large format Porcelain tile and glass guest bath. Everything from the fantastic glass and travertine entry atrium, solid white oak floors, to the masterfully executed living room and the expanded back "wall" of sliding glass floor-to-ceiling panels which open to the lap pool, Sarasota Bay and beyond showcase the impeccable craftsmanship of this exquisitely built home. A large statement kitchen, with views of Sarasota Bay, features granite counters, elegant black cabinetry, mahogany panels that slide out to separate the kitchen from the dining room, and an expansive tucked away breakfast nook that could also be utilized as a workspace/buffet. The great floor plan includes the spacious owners wing with reimagined indoor/outdoor spa allowing one to shower under the stars in the chic open space, 2nd bedroom with wonderful bay view and renovated tile, glass and stained glass ensuite bath, 3rd bedroom with ample custom closets, and nicely sized office/gym/bedroom. The grounds of the residence are peaceful and private with a giant Banyan tree anchoring the front landscape, tabby walkways that surround the home, and a chic pool deck with room to relax and take in the second-to-none full Sarasota Bay views. Wifi-enabled gate, fully fenced property, attached 3 car garage with epoxied floor, an expansive dock with 16,000 lb. boat lift, and close proximity to downtown Sarasota/world class beaches are the finishing touches to this idyllic bay front retreat.
