Welcome to this exquisite bay front estate known as Malvern Oaks.  This private Georgian-style residence sits gracefully on two home sites that adjoin the gardens of historic Spanish Point.

Entertaining will be nothing short of a pleasure in this wonderful setting.  As friends and family gather in the warm and inviting heart of the home, the chef will enjoy preparing meals in the fabulously appointed kitchen.  With an abundance of gorgeous handcrafted cabinetry, rare Tanzia granite surface tops and solid bronze fixtures, the design of this space shows true creativity.  Enjoy a 48-inch gas Wolf cook top, Wolf oven, two Asko dishwashers, Advantium speed cook and microwave oven, and SubZero refrigerator and freezer.

For added luxury and convenience, there is a built-in Meile coffee, Espresso and Cappuccino maker.  A second catering kitchen equally well-equipped is only steps away when the gathering calls for additional help.

With the feel of European craftsmen having labored over the intricate woodwork in this spacious family room, the ambience is nothing short of totally delightful.  Pegged aged Oak floors with wide planks and a signature Edward Fields custom-designed rug grace underfoot.  Towering oak-beamed ceilings and gorgeous wall treatments add to the splendor and will warm visitors into relaxing and getting lost in captivating conversation.  Twelve Oak Tourchere sconce lights adorn the room with their warm glow.  Take in the views of the bay while lounging in front of the grand windows or curl up in front of the fireplace on those rare, cool Sarasota evenings.  This is where one can totally relax and feel at home.
