Waterfront Five-Level Sarasota Luxury Home

Rising gracefully above the calm waters of Sarasota Bay, this five-level architectural masterpiece — designed as a series of light-filled terraces — by award-winning architect Michael Halflants redefines modern coastal luxury. Situated at the mouth of Bowlees Creek with sweeping panoramic water views, this retreat is a study in light, space, and design excellence.
Designed to maximize its waterfront setting, the home offers water views from every room, culminating in a 270-degree water view panorama from the rooftop terraces overlooking Sarasota Bay and the surrounding waterways. Every element, from its striking geometric façade to the glass-lined interiors, has been thoughtfully crafted to blur the lines between indoor comfort and the serenity of the surrounding waterways.

Step inside to discover a world of refined sophistication. Towering ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the main living areas with natural light, while the open-concept design allows for uninterrupted views of the bay. Wide-plank white oak wood floors and contemporary finishes blend seamlessly with coastal modern accents, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and effortlessly chic. The formal dining area, framed by glass walls, invites intimate dinners with a backdrop of swaying palms and warm sunset reflections dancing across the nearby water.

The gourmet kitchen is beautifully equipped with professional-grade appliances, sleek cabinetry, and generous counter space for culinary creativity. Whether preparing breakfast before a day on the water or hosting an elegant evening affair, the space offers both form and function in perfect balance. Multiple terraces and balconies extend from nearly every level, each offering a new perspective of the bay, ideal for morning coffee, afternoon sunbathing, or cocktails at sunset.

Outside, the property unfolds into lush tropical landscaping that enhances its waterfront setting. Enjoy direct water access for kayaking, paddleboarding, or boating right from your backyard, with calm protected waters at the creek’s edge, or simply relax on the expansive terraces and watch dolphins play in the gentle current. As evening descends, the glow of the sunset paints the bay in warm hues while the city lights of Sarasota shimmer in the distance, a perfect close to another day in paradise.

Located just minutes from downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, and the region’s world-class beaches, this property offers both seclusion and accessibility. Whether you’re seeking a tranquil retreat or an elegant base for exploration, this home delivers a lifestyle of sophistication and ease unlike any other on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

The Solstice House is best suited for design-savvy couples, families with older children, or guests who appreciate architecture, privacy, and multi-level indoor–outdoor living. It’s an ideal retreat for those who enjoy a calm, refined setting and are comfortable with stairs. This home is designed for relaxation, connection, and enjoying the surrounding natural beauty, and is not intended for parties or large gatherings.
