About 1514 South Lake Shore Drive
Nestled on one-third of an acre in the picturesque West of Trail community of Oyster Bay Estates, this captivating one-of-a-kind home combines striking artisan and architectural details with elegant charm and comfort inside and out. The 2,430-SF residence features a clay tile roof, Mexican tile floors, carved stone fireplace mantel and surround, hand-painted tile accents, hand-painted sinks, and hand-made clay sconces and pendants. Natural wood baseboards, cabinetry, ceiling beams and plantation shutters infuse the home with warmth, and Andersen windows protected by decorative stay-in-place shutters provide peace of mind. An enchanting front yard and entry courtyard set the tone for the home’s distinctive interior, boasting thoughtfully selected appointments and finishes details throughout. Well-connected main living spaces, including the kitchen, dining, and living areas, and screened lanai are perfect for entertaining. The stunning kitchen includes custom wood cabinetry, fossil marble countertops and high-end appliances, including a Fisher & Paykel dual-fuel range with side-by-side ovens. The kitchen opens to the spacious living and dining areas, where walls of glass transition to an expansive, private outdoor sanctuary surrounded by flourishing tropical landscaping. The lanai features a 40’x14’ heated pool, stone columns, generous covered spaces with wood ceilings for dining and entertaining, and an open deck overlooking the tranquil scenery and fenced backyard. A sumptuous private retreat awaits in the lovely owners’ suite, featuring a cathedral ceiling with exposed wood beams and trapezoid windows over sliding glass doors to the pool. A charming hallway – with windows and a door to a courtyard garden on one side – flows past two walk-in closets and the master bathroom with dual vanities and a large walk-in shower. Two 16’x11’ bedrooms provide comfortable, private quarters for overnight guests. This amazing home is just down the road from the exclusive Field Club, close to shopping and dining, and a few miles to Siesta Beach and downtown Sarasota.
