Rivetta on Phillippi Creek is shaping up to be one of the most elegant neighborhoods in Sarasota thanks to the unique vision of Lee Wetherington Homes. If you are in the market for something that is not only luxurious but also unique in Sarasota, Rivetta on Phillippi Creek should be among your top choices.

Phillippi Creek runs from the southern end of Roberts Bay, on the western shore of Siesta Key, to South Sarasota. The real estate along this waterway tends to be spectacular, and Lee Wetherington Homes will make sure that Rivetta stays along these lines.

There are only nine waterfront lots in this exclusive neighborhood. The first model completed by Lee Wetherington earlier this year already won four Parade of Homes awards, and this is just the beginning. The builder is known for its luxury construction at Lakewood Ranch, but Rivetta is going in a different and more refined direction.

The floor plans selected for this community are not your typical Sarasota home; they are tasteful Contemporary style estates with a splash of Coastal design. The Stillwater model is a sight to behold: three large bedrooms built on two levels and 3,432 square feet under air conditioning. This home includes special features such as a panoramic veranda, an interesting Florida basement, open floor plan that leads to a swimming pool, private dock space, and a studio overlooking the water.

Pricing for the first Rivetta model is $1,39 million, but other floor plans with 2,349 square feet of interior can be negotiated starting at $500K.

Future homeowners at Rivetta will be able to sail their boats to the nearby dockside seafood restaurants such as Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar and the upscale Creekside. Siesta Key and its fabulous white-sandy beaches are also within short boating or driving distance. The Landings, an upscale shopping center anchored by a new Publix supermarket, is just a short walk away, and even the arts district of Downtown Sarasota is within biking distance.
