1365 HARBOR DRIVE

Located within highly desirable Harbor Acres—Sarasota’s premier neighborhood—this masterful three-story contemporary residence, built by renowned architect Mark Sultana of DSDG Associates, stands as a testament to uncompromising vision and peerless craftsmanship. From the hand-selected hardware to the custom Italian floating staircase that appears to defy gravity, every detail has been curated with deliberate intention, resulting in a living experience that elevates luxury to an art form. Flooded with natural light and framed by soaring ceilings and expansive walls of glass, the interiors unfold with effortless grace and architectural precision. The heart of the main living area is an open-concept great room, anchored by a chef’s kitchen of exceptional caliber. A suite of Miele appliances—including a built-in espresso maker, induction cooktop, warming drawers, dual microwaves, and a full-height wine tower—pair beautifully with sleek Dekton countertops and custom Westwood cabinetry. A hidden butler’s pantry with Sub-Zero refrigeration ensures effortless hosting. The adjacent dining and lounge areas extend naturally to the expansive covered balcony, which overlooks the serene pool and private backyard and features a summer kitchen with built-in grill and a thermally modified wood ceiling designed for year-round outdoor living. The main level’s north wing is reserved for the dual-owner’s suite, boasting two private retreats (one currently serving as a refined home office) connected by an indulgent spa bath with floating vanities, dual rain showers, a sculptural soaking tub, heated towel racks, and elegant Italian Presotto custom walk-in closets. The third level has a library/media room that can easily transition into a two-room guest suite via sliding doors, and an additional bedroom suite. Two full baths support this level, ensuring comfort and privacy for guests. Other features include a high-end audio-visual system with hard wired speakers throughout, custom Crestron blinds and internal/external lights with remote control access through both phone and iPad. Five Luma exterior cameras are hard wired with remote access, real time monitoring and recording. Outside, the backyard beckons as a tranquil oasis with a sleek heated pool and spa and a covered seating area surrounded by lush bamboo for privacy. A standalone guest house—complete with a full bath, coffee bar, and mini-fridge—offers visitors independence while remaining closely connected to the main residence. Crowning the home, the rooftop terrace provides panoramic 180 degree views spanning Sarasota Bay, the Ringling Bridge, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, and downtown Sarasota—an ideal spot for evening gatherings, sunset views, or quiet reflection. For the automobile enthusiast, two climate-controlled garages with epoxy flooring and commercial-grade doors accommodate up to six vehicles, along with generous storage and a dedicated gym opening onto the pool terrace. Every facet of this home’s design, execution, and livability transcends the expected, delivering a residence that is as visually stunning as it is intuitively functional—a modern masterpiece just minutes from downtown Sarasota’s vibrant Bayfront, yet serenely tucked away in its own private enclave of refined coastal elegance.
