Record-Setting Lido Shores Bayfront Estate
The Lido Shores Bayfront Estate is now listed at $26 million, setting a new record as Sarasota’s highest residential listing. Over eight carefully crafted renovations by CMSA Architects, this waterfront residence has evolved into a legacy property that blends timeless architecture, luxury living, and one of the most desirable locations on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Featured in Sarasota Magazine, this record-setting listing showcases the enduring value of thoughtful design and premier location.
- General Contractor: Trinity Custom Homes
Exterior Design: The bayfront façade showcases clean stucco finishes, natural stone accents, and expansive glass panels that capture panoramic views of Sarasota Bay. Renovations enhanced resilience against coastal conditions, integrating durable materials while maintaining elegance. The entry sequence and waterfront terraces balance privacy with openness, making the estate ideal for both quiet living and grand entertaining.
Interiors: Each renovation refined the home’s interiors, aligning them with the family’s evolving lifestyle. Open-plan living areas connect seamlessly to outdoor terraces, while soaring ceilings and extensive glazing invite natural light throughout. A neutral palette of stone, wood, and refined detailing creates a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere that frames the water beyond.
Program & Flow: The design story began with an added bedroom for the family’s first child. As needs expanded, so did the home, with CMSA carefully introducing children’s suites, guest spaces, and entertainment areas over time. Today, the estate offers a fluid arrangement of rooms that support both intimate family life and large gatherings—all oriented to maximize the views of Sarasota Bay.
Landscape: Lush plantings, tropical palms, and carefully designed pathways frame the home within its Lido Shores setting. Outdoor terraces and bayfront lounging areas extend the interiors outward, reinforcing the seamless blend of architecture and landscape. The gardens provide shaded retreats while preserving sightlines to the water.
Outcome: Eight renovations later, the Lido Shores Bayfront Estate embodies CMSA’s commitment to timeless design and adaptability. It represents not only Sarasota’s record-setting residential listing but also a benchmark for luxury waterfront living. This project reflects how architecture, location, and vision can align to create enduring value and distinction.
