Casey Key home

I have seen a lot of fabulous homes in Sarasota. The home above is listed with fellow Michael Saunders associate Deborah Beacham. I went to a cocktail party there when it was originally put on the market. What a great home on the beach. This modern design really lends itself to the beach. When you are sitting on gorgeous Casey Key beach and have these breathtaking water and beach views you want as many windows as you can get.

This is one of the nicest Sarasota beach homes. It was finished in 2008 and has 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and 7,722 square feet.

612 S. Casey Key Road
