Property Description
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.
