We at Team Coffey & Co. have remarked several times in this blog that Harbor Acres is one of our favorite neighborhoods in Sarasota. So you know we are very pleased to have been given the opportunity to market a spectacular home in the community. The 5000+ square foot Mediterranean-style estate, which is set on a quarter acre lot and enjoys extensive water frontage and breathtaking views of Sarasota Bay, was recently featured on Sarasota’s ABC 7 News.
A Grand Entryway Sets The Tone
Built in 2000 by homeowner Victor Lippa, this ideal family home has five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The home’s grand entry way sets the tone, taking you through 10′ mahogany double doors with beautiful carved inlay. In the entry a sweeping stair case leads to the upper levels and on the open plan ground floor, archways provide a separation of spaces.
Waterfront On Sarasota Bay
Outside the home is approached by a gated circular driveway, while in the back there is an extensive patio. Perfect for entertaining. There is a large waterfront swimming pool as well as a private, deep water dock with sufficient space for a 75′ yacht. The home also enjoys arcaded balconies on the second and third floors, which offer a shady retreat for those hot Florida days.
A Kitchen Fit For A Chef
If you like to entertain, then you will fall in love with the kitchen here. In addition to a large island, it boasts four ovens, a wine fridge and a huge six grill Thermador range. The counters are granite and the custom cabinetry is solid wood. A butler’s pantry leads to a formal dining room embellished with a stunning chandelier and gorgeous rosewood floors. There is space here for very large dinner parties! Best of all are the living and entertaining areas on the ground floor, which enjoy 180 degree water views.
Water Views From The Master Suite
Up the grand staircase to the second floor of the house, you’ll find several very spacious bedrooms with access to the home’s many balconies. Continuing up the stairs, you come to the master suite, which occupies the entire third floor. The bedroom has its own fireplace and there are separate his and her bathrooms and custom closets. This floor is also where you’ll find the lovely rosewood paneled library.
