Home Description: 5112 Jungle Plum Rd
No damage through the 3 storms other than landscaping and water in the garage. Architecture Lovers Alert. This meticulously crafted Mid-Century Modern home is listed below recent appraisal. Nestled on a sprawling .6-acre canvas adorned with cedars, oaks, and palms, it's not just a home; it's a magical escape that is grounded in nature. The esteemed Hidden Harbor neighborhood enjoys protected ‘Canopy Road’ arched ancient oaks throughout. Talk about a great lifestyle, you’re a couple of minutes by boat to the Intracoastal Waterway from your dock and a short ride further to the Gulf of Mexico. Great news: only minimal water in garage from Helene. No water intrusion into the home whatsoever. Designed by the visionary architect Robert A. Schennum and brought to life by the skilled hands of builder John Hartenstine, this residence is a testament to the marriage of artistry and craftsmanship. As you drive along the brick-pavered circular driveway, winding through the lush foliage, you will begin to understand the artistry of this architectural gem. Open the double doors to be greeted by vintage stone floors and high cypress ceilings in the foyer, setting the tone for the warmth that permeates every corner. Wooden floors seamlessly guide you through the home, while an abundance of windows invites natural light to dance within. The living room, with its vaulted cypress ceilings and wood burning fireplace, becomes a haven as walls of glass reveal captivating views of the long canal. Dine with a backdrop of the mesmerizing waterside in the adjacent dining room, connected to a kitchen that seamlessly blends efficiency with elegance. Granite counters, wooden cabinetry, and a water filtration system make this kitchen a culinary delight. A den/TV room awaits, providing a cozy retreat featuring an interior atrium of plants. Step outside onto the expansive screened patio, where tongue-n-groove and beamed ceilings create an oasis in which to enjoy the backyard and canal views. Venture upstairs via two staircases, front and rear, leading to the spacious Owner's quarters with transom windows and a wonderful balcony overlooking the grounds and canal. The Owner's bath exudes vintage charm with dual sinks, marble-top counters, and 50's style tiles. The adjacent office is a masterpiece of openness, featuring built-in bookshelves and abundant natural light. A bath and closet could be added for a 3rd bedroom if desired. The backyard, a literal sanctuary with a koi pond surrounded by lush vegetation, leads to a boat dock that once cradled a 32' sailboat. There is a whole house generator and the roof is only 7 years old. It's a one-of-a-kind home in a storybook setting conveniently located just one mile from the powdery white quartz sands of Siesta Beach and Siesta Village's boutique charm. You’re also within reach of mainland Sarasota's vibrant entertainment, theaters, museums, shopping, restaurants, hospitals, and nationally acclaimed schools. Welcome to your dream home—come celebrate the art of living!
