Meandering down scenic Harbor Drive in Harbor Acres your eyes are drawn to a Tuscan inspired masterpiece, CASA de LUZ. Entering the estate through private gates, anchored by stone columns and mature date palms, the expansive courtyard, accentuated by a 12 foot Italian marble fountain, opens up to display the hand-crafted detail of inlaid travertine and blue granite.

Ascending a grand staircase of coral and stone you pass through a ten-foot arched doorway of hand-carved mahogany to an elegant show place of rare imported stone, classically painted murals and fine wood mill work. Visiting each tastefully designed room one quickly gains an appreciation for the exquisite custom features and finishes that abound throughout this 5 bedroom, 6 bath bay front estate.
The rear of the home provides beautiful views of Sarasota Bay from the expansive patio of travertine and stone. Descending the bridal staircase of custom copper tiles, imported from Spain, one is ensconced in formal gardens and intimate patios with intimate views across the bay front pool and spa. The pool’s iridescent glass and ceramic tiles are reminiscent of the Medici Palaces of Italy.
With over 165 ft. of seawall and dockage for 3 boats/2 lifts, this is a boater’s dream with protected water suitable for a mega yacht. And, don’t forget the toys because even the most discriminating collector will appreciate the detail in the 2,500 sq. ft. garage, complete with custom cabinetry, flooring and a workshop.
What are you waiting for? You really can have it all!
