1751 HAWTHORNE STREET

SARASOTA, FL 34239

Step into a home that feels more like a private gallery and retreat than a traditional residence—where modern design, light, and location come together in a way that’s nearly impossible to replicate in Sarasota. Located just one block from Southside Village and minutes to downtown, this West of Trail architectural residence is designed for the cosmopolitan buyer—someone who values design, art, walkability, and a lifestyle that blends indoor and outdoor living seamlessly. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by a dramatic two-story great room with soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors, and a striking mid-century modern fireplace. A wall of glass draws your eye straight through to the sun-drenched, Palm Springs-inspired pool and lush tropical backdrop—creating that immediate “this is different” feeling. The scale and clean lines offer the perfect canvas for an art collector, with expansive walls that invite statement pieces. The kitchen is both functional and beautifully integrated—designed for someone who entertains without wanting to be separated from the experience. Custom cabinetry, a professional-grade 48" Jenn-Air gas range, double ovens, and a wet bar all open directly to the living and dining spaces, including a character-rich built-in banquet booth that feels both classic and intentional. On the main level, a guest suite with large sliders opens to a covered, screened lanai—ideal for outdoor dining or evening lounging without interruption. There’s also a dedicated office for the not-quite-retired, a bright and airy laundry room, and thoughtful storage throughout. Upstairs, the home continues to surprise. A lofted lounge creates separation for guests or quiet moments, while a spacious ensuite bedroom provides comfort and privacy. Then, a true conversation piece—the observatory, accessed via a winding staircase—offers a unique escape that feels both playful and sophisticated. The primary suite is expansive and light-filled, with generous closet space, dressing areas, and a bathroom that carries through the home’s mid-century modern aesthetic. Outdoors, the experience is equally refined. Low-maintenance designer rock beds are complemented by mature palms and lush landscaping, framing a private resort-style pool and spa. A detached 400 sq. ft. studio/guest house adds flexibility—perfect as an art studio, fitness space, guest suite, or private office with its own entrance. The garage is oversized with a two-car door but space for much more—cars, e-bikes, paddleboards, even a golf cart—supporting an active, coastal lifestyle. This is not a home for everyone—and that’s exactly the point. It’s for the buyer who has outgrown the ordinary, who appreciates architecture and design, who wants to be close to everything yet live in one of Sarasota’s most desirable residential neighborhoods. Because the reality is—homes like this rarely come available. And when they do, they don’t last. If you’ve been waiting for something that actually feels different… this is it.
