4123 Bay Shore Road

Description

An architectural landmark of contemporary design and sustainable luxury, this award-winning estate redefines coastal living in Sarasota’s coveted Museum Area. Honored as SRQ Magazine’s Home of the Year across multiple categories in 2023, the gated property sits on over an acre with nearly 180 feet of Sarasota Bay frontage and panoramic water views that stretch across every sightline. The generous lot leaves room to expand further, including space for a future guest house. Crowned by a powerful solar array atop its concrete roof, the home is capable of fully off-grid operation — a rare feat of engineering paired seamlessly with striking design. An oversized glass pivot entrance sets the tone, opening to a suspended staircase with solid wood treads, a private elevator, and floor-to-ceiling impact glass throughout. Water views greet you from every room, while a sweeping covered terrace blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living. The sleek chef’s kitchen transitions effortlessly from an open-concept entertaining space to an intimate private retreat. The primary suite and all four guest suites open onto a full-length veranda overlooking the bay, giving every bedroom its own front-row seat to the water. Downstairs, a spacious bonus room, abundant storage, a shaded lounge, and a four-car garage all connect to a dramatic 60-foot heated wet-edge lap pool — an entertainer’s dream and a private oasis in one. Blending European sensibility with coastal Florida architecture, this solar-powered sanctuary is where design, innovation, and nature meet in perfect harmony.
