An Indian Beach treasure eight doors away from the Sarasota Bay where you can enjoy kayaking and sunsets. This home was originally designed in 1941 by renowned Sarasota School of Architect Ralph Twitchell. In 2009, the residence was fully remodeled and expanded by James Bowen to adhere to the original vision and aesthetics. The design is a perfect blend of contemporary and mid-century modern. The effective year built date of 2016 reflects this home's updates inside and out. The 3BR residence uses an abundance of space, a wall of glass facing the garden, 12 ft volume ceilings, natural light, beautiful night scaping and meticulous touches to present a triumph of creativity and innovation – all in a private setting reminiscent of Selby Gardens.
