Description

Virtually Staged. Known as the Grand Piano House, this striking contemporary waterfront estate in Lido Shores is an architectural landmark overlooking New Pass and the Gulf of Mexico. Designed by Jonathan Parks and Peter Shaw and built by Whitehead Construction, the residence features sweeping curves, dramatic elevations, and walls of glass capturing passing boats, open water, and spectacular sunsets. Set on more than half an acre behind a gated entrance and stone privacy wall, the property offers 105 feet of water frontage, 6,221 square feet of interior living, and nearly 7,500 square feet of terraces, balconies, and covered walkways.

A lighted koi pond, sculptural staircase, and soaring ceilings introduce the dramatic, light-filled interiors. Oversized tile flooring extends throughout the main level, where formal living and dining rooms with a wet bar flow into generous gathering spaces. Walls of impact sliding glass doors open to expansive waterfront terraces, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection. The contemporary kitchen overlooks the informal dining area and adjoining family room, featuring Wolf gas cooking and warming drawer, Sub-Zero refrigeration, quartz countertops, a large island with breakfast bar seating, and a butler's pantry. Two guest bedrooms with east- and west-facing terraces share a modern bathroom, while a conveniently located laundry room completes the main level.

Mahogany wood flooring extends throughout the second level, where the private primary wing overlooks New Pass. This retreat features a morning kitchen, custom walk-in closet, an adjoining study with built-in workstation, and separate bathrooms with spa-inspired finishes, including a steam shower. An additional guest bedroom and media room provide flexible accommodations, while a second laundry room, abundant storage, and three-stop elevator add convenience.

Connected to the main residence by a covered bridge, the separate guest casita offers two bedrooms, private bathrooms, a vaulted wood-beamed ceiling, private entrance, and outdoor deck. An oversized split three-car garage includes additional workshop space.

The versatile ground level features durable finished flooring, dedicated storage, workout and cabana spaces opening directly to the pool deck. Outdoors, the heated saltwater pool enjoys a dramatic waterside setting surrounded by mature tropical landscaping, expansive terraces, and covered entertaining areas. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen and elevated sun decks capture panoramic views of New Pass and the Gulf, providing exceptional spaces for dining, relaxing, and enjoying Sarasota's coastal lifestyle.

Located in the architecturally celebrated Lido Shores neighborhood on northern Lido Key, the residence is moments from St. Armands Circle's boutiques and restaurants, the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key, and Downtown Sarasota's renowned dining, theaters, galleries, and cultural attractions. Optional community membership provides access to the neighborhood's private beach. The Grand Piano House offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, extraordinary waterfront views, and a coveted Sarasota address.

Who is the best real estate agent on Longboat Key?

Roger Pettingell is consistently ranked the top-producing individual agent on Longboat Key, with over $200 million in closed sales volume and decades of experience representing buyers and sellers across every zone of the island. He has sold more homes on Longboat Key than any other agent and knows the specific attributes of each community -- from the South Key gated estates near the St. Regis to the high-rise condos along Mid-Key and the Old Florida private estates on the North End. For buyers, he provides off-market access. For sellers, he brings the buyer network that moves luxury property at full price.

Is Longboat Key a good place to buy real estate?

Longboat Key is one of the most consistently desirable barrier islands in Florida for luxury real estate investment. Its 30-day minimum rental policy protects property values and neighborhood character, making it ideal for end-users, snowbirds, and buyers who prioritize equity appreciation over short-term rental income. The island's limited land supply, Gulf-front positioning, and access to Sarasota's arts and cultural amenities create sustained demand. The St. Regis resort presence on the south end has further elevated the island's profile for ultra-luxury buyers.

What is the difference between North and South Longboat Key?

South Longboat Key (the gated "The Gates" area) is characterized by resort-adjacent exclusivity -- the St. Regis Longboat Key, Country Club Shores, and Bay Isles are concentrated here, offering golf club access and the highest price per square foot on the island. Mid-Key features panoramic Gulf-view high-rises including Water Club, Grand Bay, and L'Ambiance. North Longboat Key (The Village) has an Old Florida atmosphere with low-rise estates and private residences, attracting buyers who prefer a quieter, less resort-driven lifestyle at slightly lower price points than the south end.

What are the rental rules on Longboat Key?

Longboat Key enforces a 30-day minimum rental policy, which prohibits short-term rentals (Airbnb, VRBO, or weekly rentals) throughout the island. This ordinance is one of the defining factors that separates Longboat Key from Siesta Key, which allows weekly and daily rentals. The 30-day minimum makes Longboat Key more attractive to buyers focused on a quiet residential experience and long-term appreciation rather than rental cash flow.

Where is Longboat Key located?

Longboat Key is a barrier island located west of Sarasota, Florida, in Sarasota County. It stretches 12 miles along the Gulf of Mexico, connected to the mainland via bridges. The island runs from Sarasota Bay on the east to the Gulf on the west, with Sarasota directly to the south and Manatee County at the north end. ZIP code is 34228. It is approximately 10 minutes from downtown Sarasota by car.

How far is Longboat Key from Siesta Key?

Longboat Key and Siesta Key are separated by approximately 15-20 minutes of driving time (around 12 miles), passing through downtown Sarasota. They are not directly connected -- you travel via the mainland. Despite being neighboring barrier islands in the Sarasota area, they have distinctly different characters: Longboat Key is quieter, more exclusive, and resort-adjacent, while Siesta Key is more tourist-oriented with weekly rental activity and the famous white-quartz sand beach that draws significant seasonal traffic.
