Luxury Estate On Siesta Key

People who contract luxury homes want something grand, impressive, full of surprises and reflective of the way they live today. The owner of this new Siesta Key home, Gary Brown, worked with Inbar Design, James J. Heiden, General Contractor, Inc. and Eclectic Plus Interiors to deliver such impact in abundance. It has many special touches, from its entry with 28-foot ceiling and jade marble floor, to its angled staircases with curved molding and clear acrylic railings, to its sweeping views of Heron Lagoon and the Gulf from all the main rooms. The exterior has cedar bevel siding for a contemporary New England look, yet with colors and tile roof that are unmistakably Floridian. There is an upstairs game room with marble-top bar, an oak-floored family room, custom kitchen and spectacular master suite with fireplace. $895,000.
