Travertine flooring flows throughout the main living areas, creating a cohesive foundation for the light-filled interior. The great room is surrounded by walls of floor-to-ceiling windows and glass sliders that open to the residence’s largest terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection and an ideal setting for taking in Sarasota’s skyline and waterfront activity.
