A Sarasota County home is on the market for more than $28 million. Adjacent to the Field Club, the 1.26-acre bayfront property features Italian touches like frescoes and gold leaf accents inspired in part by the Versace mansion in Miami Beach, according to the listing.
"This extraordinary residence represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of European-inspired grandeur in the heart of Sarasota,” Steve Wexler of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, who is exclusively handling the listing, says in a statement.
Under the guidance of a trained Italian architect, the villa in Oyster Bay Estates underwent a restoration and expansion in 2020. Highlights of the home include pecky cypress ceilings, Clive Christian-inspired kitchen, marble floors, terraces, outdoor kitchen and privacy wall.
Spanning 9,225 square feet, the house includes four bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths. Air-conditioned garages and hobby/storage space account for an additional 4,185 square feet.
The property also includes 140 feet of frontage on the Little Sarasota Bay plus a 20,000-pound lift and accompanying Jet-Ski lifts.
Sarasota County property records show the owner is Gene E. Myers.
The house at 1310 South Lake Shore Drive is listed for $28.35 million. It is the most expensive listing in Sarasota County, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
