About this home
Some homes are built. Others are envisioned. 1516 Ridgewood is the result of an uncompromising pursuit of excellence—a California Pacific Palisades-inspired waterfront estate where timeless architecture, extraordinary craftsmanship, and Sarasota's coveted boating lifestyle converge into one remarkable residence. Completely reimagined with virtually every surface, system, and space thoughtfully transformed, this exceptional home was designed to live as beautifully as it looks. Sunlight pours through expansive impact glass, illuminating sophisticated interiors where clean architectural lines, custom finishes, and seamless indoor-outdoor living create an atmosphere of effortless elegance. Every detail reflects a commitment to quality rarely found in today's market. Anchoring the home is a spectacular chef's kitchen designed for both culinary excellence and unforgettable entertaining. An extraordinary suite of Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances—including an eight-burner gas range with griddle, built-in coffee system, Cove dishwasher, designer refrigeration, oversized pantry, and a dramatic entertaining bar—is complemented by custom cabinetry, multiple beverage centers, ice makers, and a stunning temperature-controlled glass wine room worthy of the finest private collections. The primary suite offers a tranquil retreat inspired by the world's finest luxury resorts, while beautifully redesigned guest suites provide exceptional comfort and privacy. Throughout the residence, Turkish shell stone flooring, TruStile doors, EMTEK hardware, floating custom cabinetry, Level 5 wall finishes, and designer appointments create an understated elegance that feels both warm and sophisticated.
Behind the walls lies a level of engineering that is seldom seen. A state-of-the-art Josh AI automation system seamlessly integrates lighting, climate, security, audio, and mechanical systems into one intuitive platform, placing the entire home at your fingertips. Whole-home True Audio speakers, buried fiber connectivity, dedicated IT infrastructure, multiple wireless access points, and integrated security provide technology equal to the home's extraordinary design. Constructed with longevity in mind, the residence showcases impact-rated windows and doors, concrete block construction, spray foam insulation, a standing seam metal roof, elevated mechanical systems, new electrical service, new plumbing, new water and sewer infrastructure, WiFi-enabled tankless water heaters, and countless improvements that reflect an unwavering commitment to enduring quality. Outside, the boundaries between home and resort disappear. A completely reimagined pool, expansive terraces, architectural ceilings, lush tropical landscaping, dramatic landscape lighting, and a fully appointed Wolf outdoor kitchen create an extraordinary backdrop for entertaining beneath Sarasota's spectacular sunsets. For boating enthusiasts, the experience is simply unmatched. With newly dredged water access, newer dock, and no bridges to Sarasota Bay, spontaneous afternoons on the water and unforgettable Gulf sunsets become part of everyday life. More than a luxury residence, 1516 Ridgewood is a home that inspires. It is the rare combination of visionary design, uncompromising construction, intelligent technology, and an incomparable waterfront setting—created for those who believe true luxury is measured not only by beauty, but by the extraordinary way a home makes you feel....
