DESCRIPTION

Casa della Fontana…The Fountain House… sits along 125’ of Siesta Key’s Riviera. Accommodates up to a 60’ yacht in this protected, deep-water basin with direct access to the intracoastal and Gulf of Mexico. This gated, European styled mansion is built like a fortress, lavished with the highest end finishes, and equipped with state-of-the-art systems. The property recently completed a 7-figure renovation. The original kitchen was gutted to make way for the Mediterranean-style kitchen with top-of-the-line Wolff, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances, high-end quartzite counters, and a coffered ceiling. The center of this home was made into a one-of-a-kind great room and library reminiscent of famous English manors. Custom trestles crafted from Alder wood to create a rustic feel and Vasquez Forge in Tampa designed the custom iron railings. New ceiling beams were installed throughout the house and lanai to tie in the majestic aesthetic. Updated HVAC and duct system (there are four total systems with six zones), Rimini tankless water heaters, Control 4 home automation, hurricane garage doors (3-Cars), removable hurricane curtains, and a whole-house Generac generator (powered by natural gas). The summer kitchen was also created, and the entire lanai deck and driveway were resurfaced with beautiful stonework and pavers. The waterfront was improved with a 10,000lb boat lift, underwater lights, and a kayak lift. Secret staircase was created which also disguises a place for your valuables. The layout of this estate allows for multiple generations to live comfortably, enjoying plenty of common spaces, and then affording the ability retreat to private bedrooms. Guest wing of the property allows for separate entry to and from the outside. This property offers the ultimate entertaining set up. The courtyard alone accommodates up to 20 cars. There are over 1000 square feet of outdoor space around the heated pool and spa. The screened-in lanai enables you to open all the doors and sliders on both the ground and main living level to enjoy the Florida indoor/outdoor living experience. There is an expansive media and game room complete with pool table and darts. Custom built by Magnum Builders, the commercial construction quality is of the absolute highest caliber featuring 75 + concrete pilings beneath the foundation which are tied to special footers that are reinforced with concrete and steel, concrete floors on the upper level and a barrel tile (2 piece) roof in which the roof trusses incorporate embedded straps. Roof is warrantied through 2047. Inclinator Residential Elevator. For those that want the ultimate boating lifestyle you are literally moments away from the beautiful intracoastal waters and Bay estuary which is a nursery for fish, and habitat to dolphins and manatees. You are less than a nautical mile away from Big Pass, the gateway from Sarasota Bay to the open water of the Gulf of Mexico where you can anchor on the local sandbar and take in the dramatic sunsets. Numerous restaurants you can easily boat right up to. It is an easy bike ride to Siesta Key Village with its local market, dozens of fine restaurants, bars, cafes, and sweet treats. All this while being within 10 minutes of the beach, arts, culture, and entertainment that defines Sarasota.
