Commanding a dramatic Gulf-front position atop Point of Rocks, this extraordinary coastal compound offers a front-row seat to sweeping 180° panoramic views and unforgettable sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. Built to the highest Florida Green Building Coalition standards, this home is majestically poised 14.2' above sea level to appreciate rolling waves gently lapping against the rocks and sandy shoreline below. Quintessential Old Florida charm defines this rare offering, featuring a 4-bedroom main residence and a separate 2-bedroom guest cottage, all set on beautifully landscaped, gated grounds. The main home showcases wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows and sliders overlooking the Gulf, filling the interiors with natural light. The living room features a striking tiered ceiling, recessed lighting, a new wood-burning fireplace with a shiplap accent wall, custom built-in bookcases, and electronic shades. Hardwood floors run throughout. The light-filled kitchen offers stunning Gulf views and features a large custom-built island with breakfast bar and second sink, quartz countertops, artistic tile backsplash, pendant lighting, a 5-burner induction cooktop, KitchenAid dishwasher, and built-in stacked microwave and convection oven with warming drawers. The dining area boasts extraordinary Gulf views. Two ensuite guest bedrooms, a powder bath with wood-paneled wainscoting, and a laundry room with built-in cabinetry and utility sink conveniently located off the kitchen completes the first level. The primary suite on the second level is a true retreat with breathtaking Gulf views, a tiered ceiling with fans, a sitting area, and access to a screened terrace. The spa-like bath features dual walk-in closets, freestanding tub with Gulf views, dual vanities, walk-in shower, and tile floors. The additional second-floor bedroom boasts wood floors, built-in bookcases, a deck, and full bath, making it an ideal office space or hobby room as well. Outdoor amenities include a heated saltwater pool with swim-up seating and custom waterfall feature, mature tropical landscaping, hurricane-rated windows and doors, a 2-car garage with storage, and gated entry. A beautiful promenade overlooking the gulf includes a deck, lush care-free turf, and stairs to the shimmering waters and tide pools unique to this area of Sarasota beachfront. The charming guest cottage offers a living room, full kitchen with bar seating, small dining area, laundry, two bedrooms, and one full bath—ideal for hosting guests or extended family. Recent improvements include full interior and exterior repainting of both the main house and cottage, new en-suite bath added to a first-level guest bedroom, custom floor-to-ceiling bookcases in the living room and upstairs Gulf-side guest suite, two new AC systems, motorized screens on the upper terrace, a new outdoor deck with filled walk-over beach stairs, and a metal roof installed on the cottage in 2021. A rare Gulf-front opportunity combining privacy, character, and panoramic coastal beauty all within minutes of dining, shops, and the mainland. The shelling and wade fishing right outside your door is the icing on the cake!
