Michael Saunders & Company, a leading luxury real estate brokerage in the United States, today announced the availability of House on the Gulf of Mexico II. The luxurious 1.66 acre estate is nestled between Little Sarasota Bay to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Realtor, Kim Ogilvie, is listing this property for $7.65 million.

House on the Gulf of Mexico II offers buyers a chance to enjoy a truly unique property thanks to international award-winning architecture and the extraordinary Gulf to Bay location.

Built by New York architect and former architecture department chair at Harvard University, Toshiko Mori, this property is a work of art in and of itself. Throughout the design process, Mori utilized the aspect of natural lighting and reflection, in doing so, she created awe-inspiring spaces in and around the house. Mori included a dichroic glass prism in the middle of the home which would allow the sun to bounce off the glass and diffuse daylight from clerestory windows into a spectrum of colors creating a living-art spectacle.

Five bedrooms and 6-and-a-half bathrooms complete the floorplan for this 7,121 sq. ft home. Complete with a 3 car-garage, botanical gardens, a private pool with a pool-house, a completely renovated 2-bedroom guest house, which formerly served as barracks for the U.S. Coast Guard and a pavilion with a large covered terrace, allowing for the homeowners and guests to enjoy expansive views of Little Sarasota Bay.

The home was formerly owned by the Co-Founder of Nina Shoes, Stanley Silverstein, and wife, Raine Silverstein. Stanley and Raine were both art collectors and their love for the arts is what inspired them to commision the home to be built in 2002. In mind, the architect Toshiko Mori also made sure to provide atmospheric lighting and neutral backdrops in the home to accentuate the owner’s art collection.

This is the first time the home is being offered for sale by the Silverstein family.
