Property Description

Where HISTORY Meets MODERN LUXURY @ "Casa del Carnevale," an exquisite waterfront estate, situated in the prestigious St. Armands Key, the neighborhood of John Ringling Estates. This home seamlessly blends history with modern luxury, offering views of the Sarasota Waterway and Bay with a historic designation. Casa del Carnevale presents a rare opportunity to own an esteemed historical property. Offered for only the fifth time in its storied history, this exceptional estate combines Old World architectural charm with contemporary opulence. The home underwent an extensive renovation, with meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship, utilizing top-tier materials and artisanship. Expanded from 4,000 to nearly 10,000 square feet under roof, and featuring over 7,800 square feet of air-conditioned space, Casa del Carnevale preserves its original charm while offering a reimagined layout that exceeds modern luxury standards. Set on three sprawling lots, 30,000+ square feet, the estate boasts 171 feet of waterfrontage, a private dock lift, a floating lift for jet skis and kayaks, and breathtaking views of Sarasota Waterway. The lush, meticulously designed tropical landscaping creates a private oasis that feels like you are walking in Selby Gardens on St. Armands. The residence includes five bedrooms and six and a half baths across two spacious levels with an elevator. Multiple terraces provide perfect outdoor retreats and entertaining areas, all complemented by stunning garden water vistas, a central courtyard, and an elegant 65' saltwater pool and spa with arched spraying fountains and iridescent glass tiles. Other luxury features include a three-car garage, elevator, nanny's quarters, walk-in wine room, billiards room, office, and custom impact-glass arched windows designed to maximize unobstructed views. The chef's kitchen boasts premium finishes, top-of-the-line appliances, a 5-Star La Cornue range and hood from France, featuring gas or electric ovens (kitchen art). Sub-Zero refrigerators, a Bosch dishwasher, a Miele microwave, a Miele built-in coffee machine, a stand-alone beverage refrigerator, and a stand-alone ice maker. Throughout the home, exposed beams, warm wood tones, natural stone, custom ironwork, Pecky Cypress wood throughout, and curated artwork create an inviting, sophisticated atmosphere. Offering furniture (negotiable under separate contract), and instant enjoyment to create everlasting memories, Casa del Carnevale is a rare and exquisite blend of history, elegance, and modern comfort on one of Sarasota's most coveted waterfront estates. EASY TO SHOW. CASA DEL CARNEVALE IS A MUST-SEE IN PERSON TO FULLY APPRECIATE.
