Under contract-accepting backup offers. UNDER CONTRACT ACCEPTING BACK-UPS. 'The 1965 Padgett House' A residential masterpiece whose design contributes to the many accolades given to the history of amazing Sarasota architecture. Created by James Padgett, who is recognized with the likes of Twitchell, Rudolph, and Siebert, among others, this home can be described as a legitimate example of Sarasota Modern Architecture. The design reflects no extras- the space is defined with everything purposeful, nothing wasted, and many elements of construction visible thru-out. This home has undergone substantial improvements over the last several years, but all mindfully made with keeping its' mid-century modern presence in-tact. Privately confined within the perimeter fence, this corner lot offers sufficient outdoor and lawn grounds for gardening and creativity that can be admired from the inside, thru the many sizable windows, or from the outside as you lounge poolside or relax within the covered lanai space. The kitchen/ dining and living share open space and a large impact slider opening to the outdoors. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share the lower level and the Master ensuite owns the upper level along with a small office space at the end of the glass-lined catwalk. Clerestory windows wrap the roof line and three impact skylights offer additional lighting to the kitchen area. Interior block walls, terrazzo floors and built-in interior planters are an epitome of this architectural period. New are the cedar siding and window trim in and out, 2nd story soffits, select wood privacy fence, controlled lawn sprinkler system (fed from well), motor for solar driven privacy gate, recessed lighting in bedroom 2 and 3, bathroom exhaust fans, and Pentair pool/ spa control board. Only four miles to the public Siesta Key beach and just over one-half mile to all the shops and dining of the popular Gulf Gate area.
