1423 Hillview Drive

Set along 134 feet of waterfront in Sarasota’s prestigious Harbor Acres, this nearly 12,000-square-foot estate has been newly enhanced with a new roof, a completely redesigned primary bathroom, and a refreshed kitchen, butler’s pantry, and catering kitchen, bringing a fresh perspective to an exceptional waterfront residence. Sweeping views extend across Sarasota Bay to the Ringling Causeway and downtown skyline, creating a remarkable backdrop for a home that pairs substantial scale with refined interiors, expansive entertaining spaces, and a resort-inspired lifestyle. A palm-lined paver drive leads to the stone-clad residence, where travertine steps, a porte cochere, and an expansive front porch introduce interiors defined by soaring proportions, custom millwork, wood columns, detailed archways, crown molding, and wainscoting. Designed for effortless everyday living and large-scale entertaining, the home features expansive waterfront gathering spaces, including a family room with zero-corner sliders, walls of glass, a coffered wood ceiling, and a stone fireplace. The kitchen is centered around an oversized island and complemented by premium appliances, a walk-in pantry, separate catering kitchen, and casual dining area overlooking the water, while a dedicated wine room, entertaining bar, and fully appointed home theatre create additional spaces for hosting. The primary suite serves as a private waterfront retreat with a terrace, sitting room with fireplace, coffee bar, dual walk-in closets, and newly redesigned spa-inspired bath. A separate in-law suite offers its own kitchenette, living room, laundry, and terrace, while four additional guest suites with private baths, a bonus room with terrace, fitness room, built-in homework area, dual staircases, three-stop elevator, and abundant garage and storage space provide exceptional flexibility. Outdoors, the estate unfolds as a private waterfront resort with a pool featuring a sun shelf, stone accents, and cascading water features, a raised spa, outdoor kitchen and bar, dedicated pool bath, turf lawn, fire pit, hammock area, multiple terraces, and private dock. A spiral staircase provides a direct connection between the primary suite terrace and outdoor living spaces below. Located just minutes from downtown Sarasota and Southside Village, the estate places Sarasota’s acclaimed dining, shopping, arts, and cultural destinations within easy reach, while the world-renowned white-quartz sands of Siesta Key Beach, consistently recognized among the nation’s best beaches by Tripadvisor, are only a short drive away. Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport is also conveniently nearby, offering effortless access for owners and guests alike. This exceptional Harbor Acres estate brings together substantial waterfront living, resort-caliber amenities, and an enviable location at the heart of the Sarasota lifestyle.
