Live the Dream on the Sarasota, Florida, Waterfront

SARASOTA, Fla. - Oct. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Not often does a luxury home become available in Lido Shores, one of the most desirable communities on the Florida Gulf Coast. Magnificent 180-degree views of Sarasota Bay and the downtown Sarasota skyline are featured in this grand Mediterranean-style home with private deeded beach access to Lido Key's celebrated white-sand beach.

The waterfront lifestyle is complete with boat lifts for a large powerboat, medium-sized boat and jet skis, and an infinity salt-water pool consisting of a wading pool, swimming pool and extra-large spa.

Located at 1418 John Ringling Parkway in Sarasota, Florida, this well-situated home enjoys the seclusion of an exclusive community although it is walking distance to St. Armands Circle, world-famous for its fine shopping and dining, and only minutes away from downtown Sarasota's acclaimed cultural district featuring an opera, ballet, symphony, the Ringling Museum of Art, and a plethora of art galleries and live theatre venues.

This well-maintained home lives comfortably with 5,314 square feet under air and 7,173 square feet total, providing ample living space with five bedrooms plus a dedicated office, five full bathrooms and three half bathrooms. A gourmet kitchen, butler’s pantry, Viking stainless steel appliances, new climate-controlled wine cellar, elevator, coffered ceilings, hand-scraped wood floors, travertine marble floors, grand marble staircase, summer kitchen, and huge oversized garage and motor court are among the many features and appointments too numerous to list.

Entertain your guests in the grand great room with gorgeous pool and Bay views. Upstairs you'll find a romantic covered terrace with fireplace and a game room with bar and entertainment center. If you love nature, you will be humbled by multiple dolphin, manatee and other sea-life sightings. If you live to fish, this is the best location with the best amenities.
