$4,800,000 - 1416 Casey Key Rd, Nokomis

Enter Villa Toscana through a secluded circular motor court and you encounter a burnt-Sienna facade, characterized by some as "caramelized adobe". Perfectly in scale with its height and width,the home is situated on the property with wide setbacks from the adjoining properties. As you enter the home through the front door's stone surround, wrought iron gates, and heavy mesquite doors, your eye is immediately drawn through the central courtyard, past rows of stone columns, through tall mahogany doors to the pool, gardens, and out to Little Sarasota Bay. But as quickly as you are pulled outside, you are drawn back to the carved wooden canopy vault that introduces you to the courtyard's vaulted ceiling and dramatic stone fireplace. You'll find exquisite hand-crafted items created by craftsmen in San Miguel de Allende: carved book cases, stained glass insets in 8-foot mahogany doors, carved stone pedestals, hand forged railings, and a dining table replicated from the style of a Renaissance library table. Gracious entertaining will be enjoyed by your guests in this spacious home. This gulf-to-bay property offers the best in waterfront living with boating from your private dock and watching sunsets from your private walkover to the beach. Casey Key is an 8 mile island with less than 400 single family homes situated between Siesta Key and the historic walking town of Venice. Property is offered "as is" with right to inspect.
