Casa Al Mare is the epitome of classical Italian architecture in its most refined form. Architect Thorning Little designed this gulf-to-bay masterpiece with the owners who traveled the world hand-selecting materials. Situated in the coveted stretch of Casey Key that has the deepest boating water,this home was built in 2010. With 230' of gulf frontage, a beach cabana with rooftop deck, 114+/- ft of bay frontage, a boathouse for storing kayaks, & private dockage for a large vessel, the property is unique on Casey Key. Upon entering, the sight lines draw you into the formal living area's groin vaulted colonnade out to the large terrace and pool with marble fountain with the open bay beyond. Amenities include internet accessible Lutron lighting, HVAC & security system; backlit onyx, granite and marble bath and kitchen counters; brick paver motorcourt leading to 4 car garage; marble columns & fireplaces; beamed vaulted ceiling; 2 master suites, 4 guest suites, a master wing that exudes a spa-like experience with beautifully appointed his/her baths and dressing areas, with gulf and bay vistas from the entire wing, a spiral stairway leads from master balcony to pool and spa. Casey Key is an 8-mile island with fewer than 400 single family homes; with no traffic lights, no high rise condominiums. Located within minutes of the historic walking town of Venice, The Oaks Country Club, and 15 miles south of the cultural mecca of downtown Sarasota, Casey Key is a special place to call home.
