Property Description

Like a Picassos' Mona Lisa, a true masterpiece. THIS home is the GEM of all jewels. It is one of a kind, created with artistry-imagination & craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated. This is not your typical concrete block home. It has warmth, & timeless character. Every detail reflects the skill of master craftsmen whose work has become increasingly rare. Homes of this quality are no longer built, making this residence as exceptional as it is beautiful. In a world filled with contemporary “concrete boxes” that often lack warmth, personality & charm, this home stands apart. It invites you to slow down, sit back, stay awhile, and savor every moment. It doesn't just provide shelter—it embraces you with comfort, elegance, & a sense of belonging. Warm, ageless, and unforgettable, this is more than a home. It is a work of art that quietly whispers, “Stay here…create new memories for a lifetime” Timeless Elegance, Effortless Living where HISTORY Meets MODERN LUXURY @ "Casa del Carnevale," an exquisite waterfront estate, situated in the prestigious St. Armands Key, a neighborhood of John Ringling Estates. This home seamlessly blends history with modern luxury, offering views of the Sarasota Waterway & Bay with a historic designation. Casa del Carnevale presents a rare opportunity to own an esteemed historical home. 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 & artisanship. Expanded from 4,000 to nearly 10,000 sq. ft. under roof & featuring over 7,800 sq. f.t 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-kayaks, & 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 & entertaining areas, all complemented by stunning garden water vistas, a central courtyard, & an elegant 65' saltwater pool & 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, & 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 & 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 ice maker. Throughout the home, exposed beams, warm wood tones, natural stone, custom ironwork, Pecky Cypress wood throughout, & curated artwork create an inviting, sophisticated atmosphere, offered furnished. Instant enjoyment to create everlasting memories, Casa del Carnevale is a rare and exquisite blend of history, elegance & modern comfort on one of Sarasota's most coveted waterfront estates.
