Acqua Vita, Longboat Key Bayfront Residence

Acqua Vita—meaning “water of life”—is a Georgian-inspired residence positioned along Longboat Key’s bayfront. Defined by balanced symmetry and refined detailing, the home brings European architectural tradition into dialogue with modern coastal living. From its carefully proportioned façade to finely crafted millwork and columned entry, the design emphasizes clarity, order, and permanence. Clean stucco finishes and timeless proportions frame expansive views of Sarasota Bay, while waterside terraces and a private pool extend living spaces seamlessly outdoors. Inside, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light create interiors that feel both gracious and livable. Neutral tones, custom detailing, and a fluid layout support everyday comfort while accommodating elegant entertaining. Originally built as a speculative residence, Acqua Vita has become one of Longboat Key’s most sought-after bayfront homes. Its record-setting sales history underscores the lasting value of thoughtful architecture, prime waterfront siting, and enduring design.
