Enter the gated grounds of "Casa blanca" and discover a radiant gem that could as easily be set on spain's costa brava as on the pristine barrier island of Casey Key. Its bright, airy, open plan might be described as European "cafe continental", reflecting the carefree (and maintenance free) lifestyle of warm, Mediterranean sunlight sparkling on the yachts and dolphins just beneath your dining terraces. Secluded by tropical gardens and an expansive nature preserve across the bay, Casa blanca provides the ideal combination of privacy, boating access to the Gulf of Mexico in minutes, and a short drive to either historic Venice or downtown Sarasota, the cultural center of Florida's West coast. This home is finished in neutral sand tones with natural stone floors in the main living area and oak flooring on the upper level. The euro-tech designed kitchen is equipped with a distinctive belfast sink with the island having a prep sink, while the breakfast area captures stunning bay views. The master suite comprises a sitting area and fabulous victorian bath. Car enthusiasts will value the 7+ vehicle capacity garage & boaters will find rare sailboat water at the private dock, where you will enjoy watching the dolphins play and the boats go by. The heated pool & spa are privately sited for romantic lunches or moonlit swims. With 3 bedrooms, & a total bldg area of 7600 SF, completed in 2005, Casa blanca is easy to maintain, and has no mangroves. Priced as a short sale, but not a short sale.
