Welcome to Storybook — a treetop sanctuary where architecture, nature, and artistry meet! Tucked away in Arlington park at the end of a private canopied road and surrounded by native Florida landscaping and protected wetlands, this extraordinary 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence with a custom library/den feels like a hidden world all its own. Designed by renowned Sarasota architect Richard G. Allen, known for his sustainable and expressive style, Storybook lives up to its name — enchanting, serene, and timeless. Soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, and maple floors create a warm, open-concept living space that flows effortlessly to the outdoors. Clerestory windows invite natural light, while the wraparound screened porch and treetop pool immerse you in the surrounding canopy. A spiral staircase ascends to a light filled loft offering both inspiration and a tranquil retreat above it all. This home's heart resides in a custom library/den, a quiet sanctuary where books, ideas, and conversation gather. Beyond the cozy den lies an en suite bedroom, a serene sanctuary inspired by Zen simplicity. Sliding glass doors open to the wraparound patio, a haven for morning coffee and quiet reflection. On the same floor, a second primary suite welcomes you through an intricately hand carved door. Inside, an expansive bedroom and private sitting area rests quietly among the treetops, wrapped in peaceful seclusion. The ground floor includes a private guest suite, spacious laundry, ample storage, and an oversized two-car garage ,and EV charging station. From the hand-carved Tibetan gates to the tranquil pond and water feature, every detail of Storybook reflects a reverence for Sarasota’s natural beauty and a deep sense of peace and privacy. This is more than a home — it’s a place to breathe, reflect, and feel fully connected to the world around you.

Spanning three city lots, this distinctive 125-foot-long masonry residence features four unique living spaces arranged to provide exceptional privacy, natural separation, and a welcoming atmosphere for both the owner and visiting guests. Lush landscaping, thoughtful outdoor areas, and the property’s elongated footprint help each residence feel independent while still contributing to the overall character of the setting. Two of the residences are styled in a chic tropical-boho theme, each with its own private outdoor retreat. Lush landscaping, privacy fencing, landscape lighting, bamboo outdoor showers, heated pools, hot tubs, and gentle waterfall elements create a secluded, resort-like atmosphere that guests consistently appreciate. These spaces feel quiet and intimate, offering a relaxing escape within the property’s overall environment. Just steps away, the owner’s unit brings a completely different kind of charm, embracing classic Old Florida character with box-beamed vaulted ceilings, pecky cypress walls, and a cozy fireplace. Its screened lanai rests beneath a magnificent 200-year-old oak tree, providing a peaceful spot to unwind. A curved-wall office adds a distinctive architectural touch and reflects the home’s long-standing character. Balancing the historic and tropical elements, the fourth residence introduces a fresh, modern feel. Completed just a year ago, it features high ceilings, upscale finishes, and a bright, open layout that blends comfortably into the property while still offering a clean, contemporary living experience. The elongated masonry design enhances privacy throughout the property and provides approximately 3,500 square feet of interior living space. Positioned on an elevated site about 17 feet above sea level and outside the flood zone, it offers added peace of mind. Carefully designed landscaping stretches across the grounds, creating a natural flow between residences while maintaining the sense of separation that gives the property its character. Only one block from a waterfront park overlooking Sarasota Bay, the location offers easy access to sunset views, shaded open space, and the relaxed coastal rhythm of the neighborhood. Blending historic charm, tropical surroundings, and a layout that accommodates both owner living and short-term vacation rentals, this property delivers a rare combination of comfort, versatility, and Sarasota appeal.
