A secluded sanctuary tucked in the heart of Sarasota, this 13-acre, walled, and gated estate was originally owned by Mr. and Mrs. Honore Palmer, son of the famous Bertha Palmer. Located just south of Clark Road in central Sarasota, this incredible property was purchased in 1992 by its current owners, who meticulously created a one-of-a-kind compound to raise their family. The grand scale of the property is apparent upon entering the gates, yet once inside, there is a sense of peace and tranquility brought on by the sheer magnitude of the space, the manicured grounds, mature trees, and the private lake. The main home is remarkable in its scale yet thoughtfully designed and boasts many extraordinary features, including a two-story grand foyer, formal and informal entertaining spaces, first-floor master wing, an additional six en-suite bedrooms, an impressive game room, and a bowling alley. Most of the rooms feature views of the oversized pool area, tennis court, and the peaceful grounds that surround this enormous estate. A complete home on its own, the three-bedroom, two-bath guest house includes 1,752 square feet and has its own private entrance but is also accessible from the main house through the bowling alley. There is a three-car garage in the main house, a two-car garage in the guest house, and an amazing air-conditioned, stand-alone garage/game room/separate building boasting 3500 square feet of space, creating the ability to house a car collection or any type of toy, including go-karts for the private go-kart track on the property. Enjoy it just the way it is, explore the option of a complete redevelopment or some hybrid option to enjoy part of the property and redevelop the rest. The main house and guest house sit on about 3 acres of the property, leaving approximately 10 acres for redevelopment. The opportunities are endless.

Dante DiSabato presents

If you’re looking to get close to the beach and have room to entertain friends and family in a resort-like setting, 110 Gulf Shore Boulevard North checks those boxes from front to back. Just one house from the beach, this 6,800-square-foot, six-bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom home is a lightly lived-in custom transitional that exudes the Naples lifestyle.

From its stunning chef-grade kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances that opens directly onto the great room, to its multiple living areas, guest quarters, and expansive pool complex, this is a home that makes you feel as though you are on vacation every day, and yet completely at home. Designed and built by Viv Homes, the real magic is in the details. Warm oak flooring throughout contrasts beautifully against the crisp white paneled walls of its center staircase off the home’s entryway, with ceilings that soar approximately 20-feet high. Glass railings keep the look light, bright and airy.

“What’s amazing about this property is how welcoming it is,” says listing agent and concierge broker Dante DiSabato of William Raveis Real Estate. “You immediately feel at home and yet everything lives like brand new.”

The two-story home, which lists for $12.995 million, was completed at the end of 2020. Details in the kitchen, such as a stunning marble island surface to a soft gray and white checkered quartzite backsplash working off custom cabinetry under a wood detail ceiling, feel personable and inviting. Of course, added amenities such as a walk-in pantry and built-in Miele coffee bar don’t hurt either. The family room, with folding glass doors that allow direct access to the pool area, features a raw beam ceiling and a fireplace feature wall opposite a light blue and white wallpaper that seems to bring the blue skies inside.

And speaking of the outdoors, the home comes with a stunning pool area replete with a spa, sun shelf, outdoor kitchen, dining area, living area with fireplace and TV, fire pit, and lounge. No matter the number of guests, they’ll have plenty of options.

“It’s amazing just how much this property feels like a resort,” adds DiSabato. “And the fact that you can just walk across the street to the beach is a spectacular bonus.”

But inside is where most of the magic takes place. Multiple living areas capitalize on views of the pool and outdoor living spaces and feature soaring ceilings with exceptional lighting fixtures, multiple fireplaces, and spectacular architectural accents. The property includes a second balcony, dining room with wine cellar, elevator, and a three-and-a-half car garage and was designed for the most discerning buyer. Beach access is directly across the street and the residence is within a short distance to Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South.

For more information on 110 Gulf Shore Boulevard North, call Dante DiSabato at 239.537.5351 or email him at Dante.DiSabato@raveis.com To see more of this home and other properties, please visit DanteDiSabato.com
