Where High Design Meets Coastal Living

 Tuesday, June 10, 2025
Key Takeaway: This article explores the location, amenities, and overall appeal of high-end real estate in Sarasota.

Perched above Sarasota Bay in the newly completed BAYSO tower, this $3 million residence at 301 Quay Commons, Unit 611 offers a rare blend of modern luxury and meticulous customization. Designed by its current owner— acclaimed architect and interior designer, Wayne Visbeen—the three-bedroom home is layered with the kind of thoughtful, high-touch detail typically reserved for couture retail spaces.

From the moment you enter, rich materials and clever design set the tone. A chevron-patterned indigo wall with gold inlay welcomes you into the great room, where custom woodwork, a fireplace, and gallery-lit shelves create warmth and sophistication. The dining area’s built-in cabinetry highlights textured Philip Jeffries wallpaper, and even the laundry room is finished with designer wallpaper and custom drying racks.

A discreet door reveals what may be the residence’s most striking feature: a transformed den turned private dressing room. This boutique-style space features pull-out racks, under-cabinet lighting, and a three-way mirror. It connects to the primary closet, which includes hidden compartments, a motorized jewelry lift, and softly illuminated shoe displays.

The home’s elevated features extend to every corner—from a $12K Kohler smart toilet in the primary bath to a high-end audio system and concealed storage throughout the main living spaces. Walls showcase museum-caliber artwork (not included in the sale), reinforcing the home’s curated feel.

Located in The Quay, Sarasota’s emerging luxury district, and steps from the city’s marina, this residence offers front-row views of the water and walkable access to downtown culture. This home is listed by Lisa Otte of Douglas Elliman (Lisa.Otte@Elliman.com).
