Property Description
An exceptional opportunity to own a striking example of Sarasota’s celebrated midcentury-modern architecture. Originally designed in 1957 for the Stottlemyer family, this thoughtfully preserved residence is one of the few larger homes of its kind, offering timeless design, architectural integrity, and modern livability. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and exquisite terrazzo floors define a wide-open, gallery-like floor plan—ideal for showcasing art and design collections. Walls of sliding glass doors accented by transom windows and soaring 10-foot ceilings flood the interior with natural light, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Lovingly maintained and sensitively updated over the years, the home now offers four bedrooms and two baths with approximately 2,252 square feet under air. The open eat-in kitchen features trendy, era-complementary concrete countertops, while the bathrooms retain their original tile, honoring the home’s midcentury roots. Bedrooms include cedar-lined closets, adding warmth and functionality. Additional features include a one-car garage and a one-car carport, along with hurricane shutters and a newer metal roof for added peace of mind. Outside, a low-maintenance, Florida-friendly landscape with mature fruit trees creates a serene setting, while the backyard offers a tranquil, Zen-like retreat with ample space for outdoor entertaining. Ideally located in the highly sought-after Southside School District, just blocks from Siesta Drive, this home enjoys exceptional convenience to Southside Village, world-renowned Siesta Key beaches, and Sarasota’s vibrant downtown cultural scene. A rare architectural offering—rich in history, light, and livability—this is midcentury Sarasota at its finest.
