Property Description

There was a time when homes were designed to last—and this is one of them. Designed by award-winning architect Gene Leedy, this south-facing lakefront residence embodies a legacy of modernism uniquely attuned to Florida's landscape and climate. As a founding voice of the Sarasota School of Architecture, Leedy's vision was ahead of its time, helping to shape a movement that left its mark on architecture around the world. Designed in 2006 for his daughter, this residence reflects decades of innovation—every detail considered, nothing spared. Step inside and you enter the mind of a true visionary—where nothing was done without purpose, and every detail was designed for modern living. From the soaring 15-foot ceilings to the graceful grain of custom woodwork, from ample storage to quietly integrated modern comforts, every detail speaks to Leedy's belief that beauty and function must coexist. Leedy's design masterfully merges indoors and out drawing Florida's natural beauty into the flow of daily life with floor-to-ceiling windows and abundant outdoor living—more than 5,700 square feet—allow light, sky, and greenery to infuse each space. Courtyards and balconies offer a sense of retreat from every main room and bedroom. Built with Gene Leedy's signature cantilevered style, the home is elevated by pre-stressed concrete beams, allowing it to float gracefully above Lake Otis—high and dry. Inside, custom cabinetry is found throughout made of beechwood, with doors, trim, and built-ins crafted with warmth and intention. The kitchen strikes a perfect balance of form and function, anchored by a VIKING gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, dual dishwashers, granite countertops, and a wine fridge—designed for easy everyday living and entertaining. Engineered for resilience, the home includes hurricane-rated tempered windows and doors, underground power lines, a full-home generator, surge protection, dual HVAC zones, imported Venezuelan clay roof tiles, a 4-foot concrete wall around the pool and modern fiber-optic connectivity— without compromising its architectural integrity. Including two separate garages with a total of four parking spaces with plenty of room for an RV or boat. Upstairs, soft natural light and gas/wood-burning fireplaces create space for stillness. Though the interior spans over 5,100 square feet, it feels remarkably cozy and serene. Downstairs, a generous pool room with wet bar opens directly to the pool deck and lakefront—made for open-air entertaining, dining and quiet nights on the lake. The resurfaced lap pool and spa, heated by natural gas, are surrounded by lush landscaping and lighting, including Magnolia trees and Sicilian olive trees that sway just outside the primary suite. The shoreline invites native birds and wildlife, while offering front-row seats to holiday fireworks and golden sunsets. There is ample room to add a dock and boathouse—perfect for afternoons on the water, boating, or waterskiing.For those who appreciate timeless design and refined craftsmanship, this is a rare opportunity to be part of an architectural legacy.
