About this home
For Those Who See Home as an Expression of Art. 541 S Washington offers a rare blend of architectural character, quality craftsmanship, and waterfront living. Beautifully renovated to reflect the enduring principles of Mid-Century Modern design, where clean lines, natural light, and a connection to the outdoors shape the living experience. Set on 75 feet of canal frontage along prestigious South Washington Drive, just moments from St. Armands Circle, Lido Beach, and downtown Sarasota. From the moment you enter, expansive folding glass doors frame the water beyond. A striking gas fireplace anchors the main living spaces, while thoughtfully proportioned rooms balance openness with comfort. Offering four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and a flexible bonus space, the 3,395-square-foot floor plan was designed for easy every day living. At the center of the home, a custom Poliform kitchen with premium Miele appliances combines clean design with exceptional functionality. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bath and outdoor shower. Throughout the residence, the current owners have also enhanced the property with Control4 home automation, security system, new HVAC system, instant-on hot water heaters, whole-home water treatment, Icynene insulation, and a reinforced roof with tiedowns. Outside, curated tropical landscaping creates privacy around the heated saltwater pool. Multiple outdoor living spaces, including an expansive balcony and rooftop deck, provide beautiful settings for sunset views, while a private kayak launch offers direct access to Sarasota's waterways. A distinctive waterfront residence in one of Sarasota's most sought-after island neighborhoods, inspired by timeless design and a connection to the water. Inquire with the listing agents for a complete list of updates and to schedule your private showing.
Local Insight
At $1,267/sqft for a 1957 build in Saint Armands, you're paying a premium that's mostly driven by waterfront location and direct water access rather than modern updates—so you'll want a thorough inspection to understand what deferred maintenance exists in a 67-year-old structure. The AE flood zone designation is significant and will affect insurance costs and future financing options, so factor that into your true cost of ownership before getting emotionally attached to the pool and water views. On the upside, no HOA and a private pool in this neighborhood is genuinely rare, but that 0.28-acre lot means you're buying the water, not space—make sure that aligns with what you actually want.
