Welcome to Resort Palau. Modern meets Mediterranean in this upgraded private oasis in the heart of Sarasota. Upon approaching the entry, you’ll be amazed by the oversized front door. Stepping in, your greeted by a live edge & epoxy shelf and a Chihuly inspired light fixture. Look up to see the clouds as the venetian plaster continues on the high ceiling. You’ll find custom epoxy counters where the waves meet the shore in the bathroom and dining area. Undermount lighting, double oven, French door fridge, water filtration, a pantry, granite counters and bar fridge complete the custom kitchen boasting hand chipped tile work. The venetian plaster continues complementing the herringbone tile adding to the richness and charm. Enjoy your morning coffee watching the sunrise from the large master bedroom with a walk-in closet and ensuite. Or walk through the French doors to the enclosed lanai for your morning redlight therapy. Finish the day detoxing in the jetted tub. Inside and out, top to bottom, the upgrades and amenities offer luxury, tranquility & convenience in this meticulously maintained home. Sitting on almost a ½ acre lot, the beautifully landscaped fully enclosed lot with irrigation boasts queen palms, mature oak trees, fruit trees and flowers. From cascading bougainvillea to fragrant white jasmine to orchids abound, a live bromeliad wall and a magnificent staghorn fern, there is always something in bloom. The hammock by the koi pond offers complete Zen while the BBQ and pool area offer the perfect entertaining space. Rinse off at the solar heated outdoor shower after a dip in the sparkling gunnite heated pool and spa. Happy hour awaits poolside at the firepit. The in-law suite or guest house with its own full bathroom, a/c and mini kitchen will host all the family and friends that visit once you make this house your home.
