SARASOTA MODERN IN COVETED LIDO SHORES. First time on the market! This award- winning design by architect Carl Abbott is recognized in multiple architectural books and magazines for its distinctive design features and stunning views of the water. Greeted by a colonnade of Royal Palms, the residence is very private from the road. Custom carved doors lead to a shell covered entry court. The glass entry door introduces you to the panoramic views of Pansy Bayou through expansive walls of glass. A great home for entertaining, the large pool and spacious deck and dock cascade down to the water.
