CASEY KEY In 1304 CASEY KEY ROAD, NOKOMIS, Florida

Designed by renowned architect George Merlin and built in 2006 by Christner Brothers to hurricane-resistant building code, this home rests securely on concrete-driven pilings and exudes unparalleled quality. Watch the sunrise over the Intracoastal Waterway from the deepwater boat dock and lift. Spend the afternoons on your private beach along the sandy shore of the gulf where spectacular sunsets are almost guaranteed. Inside nearly 8,000 square feet, five bedrooms with en suites, nine baths, formal living, family and sitting rooms, dual private offices, den and a theater room provide seemingly endless enjoyment. Crown molding, trayed ceilings, travertine flooring, three fireplaces and Yoder Brothers custom cabinetry exude elegant touches throughout. An elevated lagoon-style swimming pool is great for a cool dip or relax in the heated spa and outdoor fireplace on a chilly evening. The gourmet kitchen is large enough to host an impressive dinner party and gather with family and friends. Casey Key is a place like no other, where residential homes line the shores, absent of commercial building and high-rise condominiums. Development is restricted to single-family homes, yet all conveniences of shopping and restaurants are minutes away. Private and commercial air travel are easily accessible. Sports and cultural entertainment enthusiasts will find golf, tennis, theaters, music and more, just a few miles away in nearby Venice and Sarasota. There’s something for everyone in this gulf to bay resort-style home.
