About 7665 Sanderling Rd

Photos 1–3 showcase preliminary renderings of a proposed architectural concept for this exceptional property. Envisioned as a modern coastal retreat, the design celebrates the relaxed luxury of mid-century architecture while maximizing the natural beauty of its surroundings. This residence is a modern coastal retreat set on over an acre and blends luxury with the charm of mid-century design. Enjoy the property just as it is or explore the endless possibilities for building your dream home or compound to take advantage of endless water and sunsets views. This residence greets you with an expansive circular shell stone driveway, offering a grand approach to the home. Upon arrival, you’re welcomed into an open entryway that flows into the main living areas. The living room offers a relaxed setting with terrazzo floors, built-in shelving, a large picture window, and a cozy fireplace framed by shiplap accent walls. Tri-fold glass doors open to a bright Florida room, also with terrazzo floors, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. A distinctive concrete wall separates the space from the dining area with built-in bar seating. The kitchen features custom soft-close cabinetry, quartzite countertops, and Bosch appliances—including a gas cooktop, oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher—framed by large windows with peaceful lagoon views. Outside, enjoy a shell-crete pool deck with ample room for lounging and dining. A heated pool, shuffleboard court, and firepit seating area complete the inviting outdoor space. Upstairs, a flexible bonus room includes built-in closets, water-view windows, and a full bath with a tub/shower, vanity, and stylish tile. Step out to the rooftop deck with panoramic views of the pool, grounds, and Heron Lagoon. The primary suite offers high beamed ceilings, shell-crete floors, sliding glass doors to a private lagoon-view deck, and an en-suite bath with a floating dual-sink vanity, glass walk-in shower, private water closet, and linen closet. A custom walk-in closet with built-ins and soft-close drawers completes the suite. Two guest bedrooms, a full guest bath, a butler’s pantry, spacious laundry room, and half bath round out the main level. Despite being impacted by the 2024 hurricanes, the house and property have recovered quickly. The Sanderling Club has released renderings that envision a new era for its historic clubhouse and private waterfront setting. The Miami-based architectural firm STRANG has designed a new residence for the expansive site. The elevated design highlights the opportunity for tremendous Gulf views. The property’s unique setting amidst Heron Lagoon and the Gulf of Mexico allows for stunning vistas of sunrises and sunsets. This property is one of the largest lots on Heron Lagoon in Sanderling – prime for redevelopment as it would offer amazing views and is large enough to accommodate a significant home/compound. The property is located minutes from Siesta Key’s crystal quartz sand beaches and Siesta Village for shopping and restaurants. Culturally rich downtown Sarasota restaurants, theater, ballet, opera, museums, galleries, and shopping are a short drive away.
