One of a distinguished pair of twin mediterranean revival estates, this residence is a rare surviving work of acclaimed architect clarence c. hosmer, recognized for his enduring contributions to sarasota’s architectural heritage. built during the exuberant florida land boom of the 1920s, the home reflects the elegance and ambition of its era with grand arches, barrel-tile roofing, and intricate period details. the home’s story is as captivating as its architecture. the original owner moved in social circles with john and charles ringling, and at one point, the property itself belonged to charles ringling’s wife, edith, a formidable figure in her own right who was directly involved in the management of the ringling bros. circus. set on a coveted double lot in sapphire shores, a neighborhood originally planned with the mandate that all homes be mediterranean or italian in style, this estate offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for visionary restoration. behind its storied façade lies the chance to revive a masterpiece, blending its historic soul with modern luxury. this prime location is surrounded by sarasota’s most treasured cultural institutions, including the ringling museum of art, ca’ d’ zan and the asolo repertory theater, and lies just two miles north of downtown. a short drive over the ringling bridge leads to the pristine beaches of lido and longboat key.
