$35 Million Venetian-Inspired 'Fortress' Becomes Sarasota's Most Expensive Property for Second Time-After Huge Price Hike
Briefly

The Venetian-style estate 'Serenissima' in Sarasota, FL is on sale for $35 million, making history twice as its previous sale was at $16.5 million. This 19,300-square-foot mansion with 145 feet of Gulf beach boasts a 112% price increase in just five years. While appreciation is a factor, listing agent Rich Polese suggests the rise is also due to Sarasota's appeal as a quieter, more affordable alternative to pricier Florida locales like Miami or Palm Beach, particularly after the surge in demand for beachfront properties post-COVID.
