Located West of the Trail in Sarasota, this mid-century modern home is artful and open and rich in history. The three-bedroom residence was built by decorated World War I General Elliott Thorpe and later owned by Bent Schonberg, a prominent dance critic and writer. More recently, the home has been in the care of a local architect, whose practiced hand has thoughtfully updated every space to perfection. Enter this home through the artfully designed gardens. Once inside, the main living spaces are open and bright with walls of windows that create a picturesque indoor/outdoor connection. Featured on HGTV, the kitchen is a modern gem equipped with stainless steel appliances, European gas range, and clean-lined cabinets. Terrazzo and wood flooring throughout the home complement the unembellished aesthetic. Impact windows and doors and Trane HVAC installed in 2019. Set on nearly half an acre, experience natural serenity amidst the architecturally designed landscaping with outdoor lighting, and fruit bearing trees. The backyard is perfect for entertaining family and friends with open space and pool & spa. Situated in the desirable Whitfield neighborhood and moments away from the Ringling Museum, Asolo Rep, and Sarasota Ballet - - and close to world-famous beaches and the additional cultural amenities of downtown Sarasota.
