Welcome to Casa de las Olas, House of the Waves, one of the largest, direct beachfront gated estates on Casey Key. With 147 ft. of frontage on the Gulf of Mexico, this exquisite Mediterranean masterpiece transports you to an oasis of coastal elegance from the moment of arrival. Designed by renowned architect Clifford Scholz, and built to precise standards by Perrone Construction, with effective year built 2002 per property appraiser records, the principal home features over 6,600 sq. ft. of living space and is graciously separated from the tropical guest house overlooking the stunning pool/outdoor kitchen area. Dramatic Gulf and garden views wrap the home in tranquility, whether entertaining in the formal living room or gathering with family in the numerous outdoor spaces. The refined yet casual decor enlivens each space with the colors of the seaside, from the cool turquoise & vibrant coral color palette to the layered textures of linen, silk, burlap & sea glass. The dreamy master suite on the upper level features spectacular views, a sitting area and romantic terrace with spiral staircase to the sunset crow's nest. The car enthusiast will appreciate two garages for four vehicles. Casey Key is home to entrepreneurs, CEOs, writers, families, and is perfectly situated between Siesta Key and Venice. There are not too many places where you can live on virtually a private island with no high rise condominiums, and be conveniently located to the rich cultural offerings afforded in either Venice or Sarasota.
