Property Description
Step through the glass front door of 1168 Westway Drive and experience a masterful expression of modern architecture, inspired by the Sarasota School and crafted by Swiss architect Hans Ritschard, acclaimed for his philosophy of natural minimalism. Nestled within the exclusive enclave of Lido Shores, this elevated residence pairs contemporary finishes with a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, just moments from a private gated beach. A gallery-style foyer with tile flooring invites you to pause and admire art before the home unfolds into an expansive open-concept living and dining area. Architectural columns subtly delineate each zone, while a full wall of glass reveals tranquil views of the elevated pool, lush landscaping, and mature palm trees—blurring the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. The kitchen impresses with abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, a large window above the double stainless-steel sink, and a suite of quality appliances including a GE wall oven and microwave, KitchenAid electric cooktop, LG dishwasher, Samsung refrigerator, and a convenient breakfast bar. The dining area, framed by graceful columns, creates an inviting setting for gathering and entertaining, perfectly integrated into the home's flowing layout. A quiet hallway leads to the private primary suite, designed as a restful escape with its rounded architectural feature wall, walk-in closet, and en-suite bath featuring a stone-top vanity, dual sinks, and a walk-in shower. Two additional guest suites offer well-appointed comfort with wall closets and en-suite baths—one with a walk-in shower, the other with a tub/shower combination—each thoughtfully connected to the main living spaces. Outdoors, discover a private oasis designed for relaxation and entertaining: an over 40-foot elevated pool terrace with soothing water features and several expansive patios with both covered and open-air lounging areas. A sculptural concrete stairwell gracefully connects to the circular driveway below, complemented by fresh, manicured landscaping that echoes the home's modern aesthetic. The ground level offers a versatile bonus room—currently arranged with bunk beds but easily imagined as a home office, gym, or flex space—alongside an oversized bonus or family room with glass walls that open to a circular lower patio and landscaped yard. A spacious two-car garage with extra storage completes this level. Recent upgrades include a newly installed three-zone air conditioning system and 3M film on all doors and windows for added comfort and efficiency. Ideally positioned along prestigious Westway Drive—celebrated for its mid-century modern residences and notable contemporary estates—this architectural gem is just moments from St. Armands Circle, downtown Sarasota, the St. Regis, and the Longboat Key Club, capturing the essence of coastal living.
