948 Citrus Avenue stands apart in Hudson Bayou by pairing custom-built modern design and Flood Zone X placement with award-winning architecture, dual owner suites, and a private resort-style outdoor living experience rarely found at this scale. Set behind clean modern lines and lush tropical landscaping, this West of Trail residence offers the privacy and livability today’s high-end buyers value most — including two owner suites that both connect directly to the extraordinary, oversized two-story screened lanai, creating a rare indoor-outdoor retreat on multiple levels. With a metal roof, no HOA, a cold plunge, sauna, and exceptional proximity to Selby Gardens, Southside Village, Burns Court, the Bayfront, and downtown Sarasota, the home feels like a private architectural retreat. Inside, soaring ceilings, expansive glass, wide-plank Spanish White Oak flooring, and warm modern finishes create a refined interior that feels calm, bright, and intentional. The main living areas are open without feeling exposed, offering space for gathering, working, entertaining, and retreating, with strong connections to the pool, gardens, and outdoor living areas. The kitchen is one of the home’s signature design moments. Recognized with SRQ Magazine Home of the Year Best Kitchen Gold honors, it blends custom cabinetry, quartz surfaces, premium Thermador appliances, an oversized island, generous prep space, and window wall that brings the landscape into the room. It is functional, memorable, and architectural — the kind of kitchen that makes the home feel custom rather than conventional. The rear of the residence is where 948 Citrus Avenue becomes exceptional. The massive two-story screened lanai expands the way the home lives, creating a private outdoor environment with the feel of a boutique resort. It encloses the saltwater pool, upper balcony, tropical landscaping, and multiple places to relax or entertain year-round. The scale is rare, offering shade, privacy, comfort, and protection from the elements while making the home feel larger than its interior square footage suggests. The dual owner-suite layout adds flexibility. The main-level owner suite opens to the lanai and pool area, creating an easy daily connection to the home’s best outdoor spaces. The upstairs owner suite provides separation and privacy for guests, family, or a second primary-style retreat. A flexible office/den and wellness-oriented garage area with cold plunge and sauna further support the way buyers want to live now. Recognized as part of SRQ Magazine’s Home of the Year awards program, 948 Citrus Avenue carries architectural credibility that is felt throughout the home — from the kitchen and materials to the indoor-outdoor flow, privacy, and thoughtful use of space. More than a beautiful Hudson Bayou address, this is a design-recognized Sarasota modern residence with the location, outdoor living, flexibility, and practical advantages to stand out in today’s market.

Step into a home that feels more like a private gallery and retreat than a traditional residence—where modern design, light, and location come together in a way that’s nearly impossible to replicate in Sarasota. Located just one block from Southside Village and minutes to downtown, this West of Trail architectural residence is designed for the cosmopolitan buyer—someone who values design, art, walkability, and a lifestyle that blends indoor and outdoor living seamlessly. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by a dramatic two-story great room with soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors, and a striking mid-century modern fireplace. A wall of glass draws your eye straight through to the sun-drenched, Palm Springs-inspired pool and lush tropical backdrop—creating that immediate “this is different” feeling. The scale and clean lines offer the perfect canvas for an art collector, with expansive walls that invite statement pieces. The kitchen is both functional and beautifully integrated—designed for someone who entertains without wanting to be separated from the experience. Custom cabinetry, a professional-grade 48" Jenn-Air gas range, double ovens, and a wet bar all open directly to the living and dining spaces, including a character-rich built-in banquet booth that feels both classic and intentional. On the main level, a guest suite with large sliders opens to a covered, screened lanai—ideal for outdoor dining or evening lounging without interruption. There’s also a dedicated office for the not-quite-retired, a bright and airy laundry room, and thoughtful storage throughout. Upstairs, the home continues to surprise. A lofted lounge creates separation for guests or quiet moments, while a spacious ensuite bedroom provides comfort and privacy. Then, a true conversation piece—the observatory, accessed via a winding staircase—offers a unique escape that feels both playful and sophisticated. The primary suite is expansive and light-filled, with generous closet space, dressing areas, and a bathroom that carries through the home’s mid-century modern aesthetic. Outdoors, the experience is equally refined. Low-maintenance designer rock beds are complemented by mature palms and lush landscaping, framing a private resort-style pool and spa. A detached 400 sq. ft. studio/guest house adds flexibility—perfect as an art studio, fitness space, guest suite, or private office with its own entrance. The garage is oversized with a two-car door but space for much more—cars, e-bikes, paddleboards, even a golf cart—supporting an active, coastal lifestyle. This is not a home for everyone—and that’s exactly the point. It’s for the buyer who has outgrown the ordinary, who appreciates architecture and design, who wants to be close to everything yet live in one of Sarasota’s most desirable residential neighborhoods. Because the reality is—homes like this rarely come available. And when they do, they don’t last. If you’ve been waiting for something that actually feels different… this is it.
