Designed by Stephen Balut, in collaboration with MHK Architects, and built by Voigt Brothers Construction, the residence sits on a half-acre lot with 100 feet of south-facing waterfront on Sarasota Bay.

Located within walking distance of Southside Village and downtown Sarasota, the home features expansive views, outdoor terraces and a private pool.
