Property Description
The Bechtel House (1967) is an important mid-century modern classic designed by Seibert Architects' Edward "Tim" Seibert FAIA, one of the Founders of the Sarasota School of Architecture. This iconic property is all about private courtyard living at its finest, with polished concrete floors, soaring ceilings, clerestory windows and sliding walls of glass which open interior rooms to an outstanding 40'x40' walled-in private patio complete with central gardens and a 28'x14' inground swimming pool. The current owner brought the property up to date (2025) with a new roof, and updates to landscaping, AC, plumbing, water heater and electric systems. This one-of-a-kind home is located near the Ringling Museum of Art, universities and the 1920s-era Sara Bay Golf & Country Club. Its great location provides easy access to the best shopping, airport, museums, restaurants, celebrated contemporary and classic performing and visual arts, sandy beaches and everything Sarasota and the Gulf Coast of Florida is known for. Architectural Drawings and survey are available for your kind review.
