Bay Home Off Market

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Amid a canopied oasis, resort-like bliss awaits you on Sarasota Bay, surrounded by magnificent works of nature. Constructed in 2008, the exquisitely crafted estate pays the utmost attention to elegance and comfort and employs the finest materials and artisanship. Created by one of Florida's leading luxury builders, this magnificent two-story residence exudes sophistication on every level. This home offers impeccable details and premium quality construction from the private, picturesque setting to its top-of-the-line finishes. The original owners took great care to preserve the beautiful mature oaks that grace the property. The Hillview Estate boasts a magnificent setting with 100 feet of waterfront, a private dock, expansive views of the bay and meticulously designed landscaping. Four bedrooms, four baths and two half-baths extend across two spacious levels offering stunning Siesta Key, Lido Key and Big Pass views. Additional luxuries include a billiard room and a butler pantry with a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The kitchen features a large center island with premium finishes and chef-grade appliances, including a Wolf gas range, double ovens, another Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler. Enjoy the lush tropical greenery visible from the abundant outdoor lounging and entertaining space with an outdoor kitchen. From the covered outdoor living area with a fireplace and large deck overlooking the pool with an infinity-edge spillway into the hot tub, delight in tropical breezes and watch the sunsets and dolphins frolicking in the bay. For entertaining, the home presents an idyllic setting for gatherings of any size, especially since the open main-floor layout flows seamlessly from the outdoors to the inside, separated only by striking wood columns and allowing easy access to all of the outdoor areas. Other unique highlights include an authentic clay tile roof, gas for fireplaces and cooking, the finest insulation, premium Andersen doors and windows and an 81-piling foundation system. A Kolher generator powers the entire residence. Most importantly, an elevator runs from the garage to the top floor. The three-car garage and motor court have three additional covered spaces adding to this prime location West of Trail in Harbor Acres. Just minutes to downtown and Sarasota's world-famous beaches, this home represents the ideal package of location, elegance and quality so rarely found today.
