New to the greater Sarasota real estate market is this waterfront estate owned by MLB pitcher Mark Melancon. The Anna Maria Island property is anchored by a newer build containing six bedrooms and six baths across 5,921 sq. ft. It is priced at $14.789 million.
The house, which dates to 2020, mixes tradewind and modern architecture. The façade voices Caribbean plantation, while the back blooms into a broad expression of Islands-tinged modern as the living style opens to Bimini Bay.
Inside the two-level home, a traditional feel is established immediately, and beyond the double-door entry is a small foyer with a staircase and interior French doors. The home’s main living area establishes a more contemporary feel, though, with an impressive sense of scale, as well as LED ceiling atmospherics, a linear fireplace in an accent wall, a chevron motif, and a wall of sliding glass that opens to the water and Gulf breeze.
Amenities in this house include a catering-ready kitchen with a 16-foot island, as well as a cozy, Island-tinged master that opens to an enclosed porch with a fireplace, a single space in a complex of outdoor living areas that collectively spans 1,600 sq. ft. and includes an outdoor kitchen and infinity-edge pool.
