Previously named a multiple-award recipient in SRQ Magazine’s Home of the Year program, with recognition for both overall home design and kitchen design, 948 Citrus Avenue is a rare award-winning modern residence in Sarasota’s coveted Hudson Bayou. Set in a desirable Flood Zone X location, this custom home blends architectural distinction, resort-style outdoor living, and near-downtown convenience just moments from Selby Gardens, Southside Village, the Bayfront, and Sarasota’s cultural core. Inside, soaring ceilings, expansive glass, clean architectural lines, and wide-plank Spanish White Oak flooring create a warm, light-filled interior with a refined modern feel. The open living areas are designed for effortless flow, drawing natural light through the home while connecting the main gathering spaces to the kitchen, outdoor living areas, and private resort-style setting beyond. The award-winning kitchen is the centerpiece of the residence — a dramatic yet highly functional gathering space featuring premium Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz surfaces, generous prep and entertaining areas, and a seamless connection to the main living spaces. Designed for both everyday living and elevated entertaining, it gives the home a level of design credibility and usability that stands out in Sarasota’s luxury market. At the rear of the home, a massive two-story screened lanai creates one of the property’s most compelling lifestyle features. This expansive outdoor living environment dramatically extends the home, offering covered dining and lounging areas, a heated saltwater pool, tropical landscaping, and exceptional year-round usability. Its scale, privacy, and sense of enclosure create a true resort-style retreat that is difficult to appreciate from the street. The home offers four bedrooms, three full baths, one half bath, flexible guest accommodations, a refined primary suite, and wellness-oriented amenities including an indoor cold plunge/sauna experience. Every major space is designed around privacy, natural light, comfort, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Located in Hudson Bayou, one of Sarasota’s most desirable West of Trail settings, 948 Citrus Avenue places you moments from Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Southside Village, Downtown Sarasota, Burns Court, the Bayfront, restaurants, galleries, theaters, and boutique shopping. More than a luxury home, this is an award-winning Sarasota modern retreat with rare architectural credibility, exceptional outdoor living, and a location that captures the best of the city’s lifestyle.
