Ross Built Construction is responsible for designing this coastal contemporary retreat located on a canal in Longboat Key, a barrier island off the coast of Sarasota County, Florida. Boasting breathtaking views of the water, the spacious interior was designed with coastal comfort in mind, featuring a blend of luxurious finishes and materials that perfectly capture the essence of a coastal environment.
The heart of the home is the spacious and well-appointed kitchen, which serves as the primary gathering space for friends and family. The kitchen’s open floor plan connects to the living room, making it easy to socialize with guests while cooking. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors offer breathtaking water views and provide seamless indoor-outdoor living.

The rest of the residence follows a similar design aesthetic, with tongue and groove ceilings adding a touch of detail and character. Each room has been thoughtfully appointed with materials and finishes that enhance the coastal feel, such as oak flooring, subtle brass accents, and neutral colors. These design elements create a seamless and cohesive feel throughout the entire house.
This getaway home is the perfect place to escape and relax, and the outdoor living area takes the coastal experience to the next level. The covered outdoor living area features an outdoor kitchen, perfect for entertaining friends and family while enjoying the views of the water. The spacious lot, along with the outdoor living area, offers plenty of space for friends and family to gather, relax, and make lasting memories.
