Description

Villa Coquina is a luxurious, modern residence in the exclusive Oyster Bay neighborhood. Built in 2006 by architect Jack Jetton, one of the original members of the Sarasota School of Architecture, it blends the iconic Sarasota School style with modern construction, featuring steel reinforced concrete walls, hurricane impact windows, and a raised/ventilated foundation. The fenced and gated property spans almost half an acre and includes tropical landscaping, ancient live oaks, and a heated salt-water pool creating your own private tropical modern resort. This home offers nearly 3,400 sq ft of space, including 2,400 sq feet of interior space, with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and an open floor plan designed to bring the outdoors in, with 12' ceilings and walls of glass. The home was fully renovated in 2023 by architect Daniel Lear, with updates to electrical, plumbing, HVAC, cabinetry, counters, roof, and the addition of a third bedroom and bathroom. Interiors by designer Blair Moritz feature high-end finishes like Water Works plumbing, Bertazzoni appliances, Italian travertine counters, Reform European Cabinetry, and vintage lighting. Every single detail was completed with the highest quality craftsmanship, perhaps especially the original seashell concrete floors which were lovingly restored to enhance the properties midcentury modern roots. The property also allows for future expansion, including the potential for a third-story ocean-view deck already engineered into the 2nd story. Villa Coquina offers a rare combination of modern luxury, climate proof construction, architectural history, and a prime Sarasota location near shopping, schools, beaches, and nightlife.
