I went on caravan today and visited a number of homes and condos for sale in Sarasota, Florida. Here are a couple of properties that really stood out:

926 Indian Beach Drive
This home was fantastic! Most of the Realtors on caravan agreed with me.
Description: West Indies inspired estate. Main house features 3 spacious bedrooms, 3 baths plus den/office, formal dining room and formal living room. Dark hickory stained wood floors, sublime chef's kitchen (wolf gas cooktop, sub zero, ariele) with gorgeous white cabinetry and apron front sink.

4948 Bay Shore Road
I liked this one very much. It reminded me of a home you might see in California or Hawaii.

An environmentally friendly, healthy and easily sustainable home, much thought was put in to the details of each and every corner. Located in an historic area near the bay, museums and theatre, this half acre + pr operty was design inspired by tropical "Bali Pavillion" concepts. Beautiful contemporary interior, bamboo floors and cabinets, low energy lighting, wired for all computer, electronics and security systems, peaceful, tropical Xeriscaped grounds with water fall pool and private detached guest suite combine to create the perfect "Zen" environment.
