A coastal estate in an architecturally significant enclave of Siesta Key, in Sarasota, Florida, has recently hit the market for $12.9 million.
The 5,000-square-foot, five-bedroom home sits on a one-acre waterfront lot in Sandy Hook, a development established by pioneering architect Mary Rockwell Hook to serve as a haven for architects. Built in 2003 and fully renovated and remodeled between 2019 and 2024, the residence at 26 Sandy Hook offers exceptional privacy and comfort while honoring the mid-century modern heritage of its locale.
Douglas Elliman agents Inbal August and Jordan Shea represent the listing.
In addition to the five en-suite bedrooms, the home includes two powder rooms, a dedicated home office, and a three-car garage. The gourmet kitchen features a Labradorite Lemurian Blue granite island imported from Brazil, top-of-the-line Wolf, Miele, and a Sub-Zero appliances.
Clad in floor-to-ceiling Andersen impact windows, the property also includes a Pecky Cypress entertainment system, a full smart-home automation system, an elevator from the garage, and a whole-house generator.
The resort-style backyard space features a poolside theater with dual fireplace and two integrated TVs, Jacuzzi spa, and a sunset-facing gas fire pit. Surrounding it all is a professionally designed tropical landscape, valued at over $1 million, with manicured Bermuda grass, soaring palms and bamboo, and an advanced irrigation and mosquito misting system.
Along with the charm of nearby Sandy Hook Village, residents can enjoy a unique blend of serene island living, private beach access to the crystalline shores of Siesta Key, and the cultural sophistication of Sarasota.
