Thank you, Sarasota Magazine, for this detailed feature on the exquisite modern home listed at 1331 Quail Drive. This Oyster Bay home is an icon of midcentury design and an original work of the Sarasota School of Architecture. In addition to its special provenance, the home was thoroughly renovated in 2023 and meets modern flood elevation requirements, offering buyers the exceptional appeal of both historical significance and modern standards.
The homeowners were drawn to this property for its representation of the Sarasota School and for the landscape that surrounds it, in particular the majestic live oak that arches over the pool and draws the tropical surroundings into the living space. In our client's words, blending natural beauty and the building are essential because “[t]he landscape is what makes Sarasota special.”
Luxuriously renovated, with upgrades to systems (HVAC, roof) as well, the home boasts a "softer modern feel" with elements like travertine and Moroccan clay tiles adding warm complement to the polished concrete floors and custom brushed steel cabinetry. As our clients move on from this home, their hope is that new owners will likewise embrace its distinctive beauty as a celebration of Sarasota's idyllic charm.
