8250 Sanderling Road

Welcome to 8250 Sanderling Road, a breathtaking architectural masterpiece nestled on the pristine shores of Siesta Key, one of Florida's most coveted barrier islands. This extraordinary modern beach residence is a testament to the artistry of world-renowned architect Guy Peterson FAIA, known for setting the standard of excellence in modern design. The home proudly boasts an Honor Award from the Florida Gulf Coast Chapter of the AIA, and an Excellence in Architecture Award from the Florida Association of the AIA, as well as being featured in numerous media outlets for its architectural significance including HGTV Homes Across America, Florida Design, Robb Report, Sarasota Magazine, Sarasota Herald Tribune’s Style Magazine. In addition, it has been highlighted in many publications including Four Florida Moderns, a book devoted to four Florida architects, and 50 US Architects Residential and Planning, a curated collection of award-winning architects and their most significant accomplishments. In 2015, the new owners undertook a transformative renovation collaborating with Guy Peterson FAIA, Michael K Walker, and Richard Geary, resulting in a newfound clarity of design that harmonizes seamlessly with the original architectural brilliance. Elegantly composed of four rectangular pavilions, each thoughtfully supported by a concrete framework, the exterior is a true work of art. Layers of concrete, intricate cutouts and artful glass details adorn the modern façade. As you approach, a seashell-textured concrete path welcomes you, setting the stage for the extraordinary experience that unfolds within. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by interiors that are equally awe-inspiring. The foyer gives way to views of all levels creating the perspective of a sculpture framed by glass, concrete, metal and pure white. The custom bar, elegantly appointed with an illuminated onyx top, blends effortlessly with its surroundings. The dining room showcases concrete columns against sanded glass walls, framing a mesmerizing beach view through towering floor-to-ceiling windows. The custom kitchen pays homage to the teak accents found throughout the home, featuring top-of-the-line Miele and Wolf appliances, marble counters, and dual islands. The owner's suite is a private oasis, complete with a cozy sitting area, a convenient coffee bar, meticulously organized closets, and a Gulf-front terrace to enjoy a morning coffee while taking in the tranquil blue Gulf of Mexico view. The dual en-suite bathrooms exude opulence with stone counters, generous showers, and exquisite detailing. On this same level is a sitting area and enormous landscaped terrace overlooking the grounds. An office with panoramic views of the Gulf inspires productivity. Guest accommodations are equally inviting, with en-suite bedrooms allowing for the utmost privacy. Situated within the prestigious Sanderling Club on Siesta Key, this home affords exclusive access to the Paul Rudolph-designed beach clubhouse, tennis courts, and a 24/7 guard-gated community for ultimate privacy and security. The community also has a marina with boat docks, while tranquil Heron Lagoon complements the expansive 1.54-acre site, offering over 150 feet of Gulf frontage and an additional 150+ waterfront feet along the lagoon's edge, creating the perfect gulf-to-lagoon retreat. Siesta Key itself is a renowned destination, celebrated for its powdery white quartz sand beaches and vibrant cultural scene.
