CASA DELLA
FONTANA

 

Nestled on a serene street on Siesta Key’s coveted north end, Casa della Fontana—The Fountain House—stands as a testament to coastal luxury and timeless craftsmanship. This exquisite 6,827-square-foot gated waterfront estate perfectly harmonizes opulence, privacy, and convenience. Poised on a deep sailboat water bayou just off Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway, it offers direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, making it a dream haven for boating enthusiasts.

The heart of this magnificent estate is the great room, a breathtaking space framed by tranquil water views and an inviting full balcony accessed through French doors. Twenty-foot beamed ceilings soar overhead, encased by a two-story library, while a gallery and loft overlook the dining area below. Custom hand-hewn wood trestles and wrought iron railings by Tampa’s renowned Vasquez Forge imbue the home with timeless sophistication. Adding to the home’s charm is a hidden wood-paneled staircase that invites moments of discovery and intrigue.

The kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, boasting state-of-the-art Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances, complemented by quartzite countertops and a coffered ceiling. A spacious waterfront breakfast area and walk-in pantry provide the perfect blend of functionality and design, while hand-hewn beams and old-world details lend a sense of warmth and continuity throughout the home.

The waterfront owner’s suite offers a private retreat with unparalleled luxury. Two balconies provide peaceful vistas, while dual spa-like baths, a central walk-in shower with dual entries, and expansive walk-in closets ensure a sanctuary of comfort. The private guest wing, with its three bedrooms, three baths, and private balconies, offers exclusive exterior access, ensuring an ideal blend of privacy and hospitality.

 

 

The outdoor living spaces are an entertainer’s paradise, featuring a summer kitchen, a heated pool, a hot tub, and a 1,000-square-foot covered area with multiple seating spaces. Adjacent to this alfresco haven are a pool-level guest suite, a media-game room, and a workshop, perfect for post-water escapades. Boating aficionados will revel in the estate’s three exceptional boat lifts and a dock accommodating vessels up to 45 feet. Underwater lights illuminate the dock at night, attracting vibrant marine life and setting the stage for memorable evenings by the water.

No detail has been overlooked in the home’s transformation into a modern masterpiece. Following a meticulous two-year, million-dollar renovation, Casa della Fontana now boasts a new Spanish barrel tile roof, redesigned landscaping, hurricane-resistant features, Control4 home automation, and a whole-house generator. The oversized three-car garage, hurricane-rated doors, and stone paver driveway—able to accommodate up to 20 cars—underscore the estate’s thoughtful design and commitment to excellence.

Minutes from the powdery white sands of Siesta Beach, the charm of Siesta Village, and the cultural vibrancy of downtown Sarasota, this estate combines the allure of island living with the sophistication of city convenience. Here, every day feels like a luxurious getaway.
