A masterpiece of modern coastal luxury newly constructed in 2023, Bayso offers a truly exceptional city lifestyle with fabulous amenities and an envied address in the heart of Sarasota’s vibrant Quay district. With its high elevation and impeccable design by Robert Klingel, residence #1708 enhances the building’s inherent luxury with lavish upgrades and features, including custom marble and hardwood flooring, Kravet and Vahallan wall coverings, bespoke lighting by Paul Ferrante and Alabaster, and more.
Spanning more than 1,600 A/C square feet with 10’ ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows and sliders that open to an oversized terrace, the home has a generous sense of scale with dramatic views of the city, Sarasota Bay, Keys and Gulf. Unobstructed sight lines from the entry vestibule through the central living space showcase the spectacular vistas and lend to the open flow within. At the center of the home, the gourmet kitchen is arranged around a large central island that overlooks both the primary living room and a dining area that is elegantly distinguished by an artisanal Giacometti-inspired chandelier. Ultra-premium ITALKRAFT European cabinetry accented by quartz countertops and calacatta tilework adds form to the kitchen’s function, perfectly suited for prep and entertaining with stainless Jennair appliances including induction cooktop, wall ovens, double-door refrigerator, and wine cooler. Through full-height sliding doors, the living room opens to an extra-deep terrace that extends space to lounge, dine, and revel in panoramic sunset vistas.
Ideally situated for privacy, the primary and guest suites are situated on opposite sides of the main living space. On the right, the owner’s suite is a lush retreat with a magnificent bathroom that boasts Grohe fixtures, a separate water closet, glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and double vanity with custom recessed Robern medicine cabinets. Beyond the bathroom, a walk-in closet with custom built-in cabinetry offers ample wardrobe room. On the other side of the home, the guest suite enjoys its own full bath with walk-in shower, generous closet, and floor-to-ceiling windows extending picture-perfect views.
The home’s entry is flanked by a sizeable utility room with large-capacity washer and dryer and abundant storage on one side and a powder room on the other, offering ultimate convenience for entertaining. A fabulously designed den with a stacked mirror wall installation and built-in storage desk adds incredible value as a flex space for a private office or occasional guest room. Adding both style and livability, notable upgrades include white oak hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, marble Artistic tile flooring in the entryway and elsewhere, a gorgeous Roche-Bobois storage wall unit with integrated lighting, exquisite ceiling and sconce fixtures, motorized shades, custom light-filtering linen drapery, and easily accessible water shut-off.
